Willow, yogi/product promoter/performance artist performs in rapid succession: Utthita Pada Sirsasana, then Dhanurasana, then Utthita Pada Sirsasana and finally Dhanurasana. Precocious Pete, watching from the side, remembers his toy box and the moment of inertia that makes sleep possible. What is he thinking about?

This is a long shot, but peasy can't stop thinking rotational dynamics with the yoga positions, and the yo-yo sleep mode.... Sep 15 08, 2:19 AM

Yes ! But Willow is not that deep. She simply spelled " YoYo " with her sequential yoga poses, being the performance artist that she is now, and also promoting a product, the yoyo. Pete, looking at her from the side, read the message and thought of his own yoyo and a particularly tricky trick one performs with it, that is, making a yoyo " sleep ". Just as with anything, inertia tends to resist changes to a current state of motion. So making a yoyo spin at the end of the string without stopping or curling back up the string is tricky - throw it down with enough force to make it spin fast but not too fast to make it jump back up. What one is trying to do is increase that moment of inertia to keep it spinning, but do so in place ( at the bottom of the string ). In the end, your intuition proved right peasy ( by the way, consistently correct intuition is a hint of genius ). http://www.yogacards.com/yoga-postures-2/headstand-Sirsasana-Splits.html http://www.bikramyogaportsmouth.com/byp/26-postures/bow-pose-|-dhanurasana.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-Yo http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/yo-yo2.htm Sep 15 08, 10:37 AM

Baloo55th

I'm glad she recovered from her digitalin episode.... Baloo has never managed to do any more with a yoyo than get it to come back up the string. Halfway. He is also not a Yoga Bear.... Sep 15 08, 10:47 AM
