monckton★★★☆☆ (436)	Ok, re-thinking this. Yes there was 'gravity' in the eye of the beholder. But we all know how many trains that waved off, though people argue to this day.

monckton★★★☆☆ (436)	Oh I know that, the request for definitions was a nod to our resident word buff. I think the point I'm trying to make can be best summed up as "...really?"
