> familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over.
I took high school and college physics courses (in the US) and have spent 15+ years developing physics-related software and I don't recall ever hearing gravity expressed in ft/sec^2. I can't gauge whether this "familiar" principle is itself a joke or if there are places where gravity is taught as 32 ft/sec^2 rather than 9.8 m/sec^2...
