The Laws of Cartoon Physics

I've always found physics to be an intriguing subject, but the physics of cartoons are downright fascinating.

Some examples include:
  • Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.
  • Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter.
  • All principles of gravity are negated by fear.
  • Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot.
There's a long list, all with in-depth explanations. This should definitely be a required course as part of any college Physics major.
