Now children everywhere will grow up not believing in cinder block magic. Great job George.
I keep hearing that as "cinder block magic woman" in my head

Side story: I knew a girl in Taiwan who worked in a pub. She was a mountain person (native tribe to Taiwan) who had darker skin, who really liked that song (Black Magic Woman).
Anyway, I saw today that the guy who wrote that song just died. And his group (Fleetwood Mac) did not make it famous. It was famous by somebody else.

Yep. People call me alarmist when I warn of the existential risk of not believing in cinder block magic. But the sad tale of the Moa species should be a reminder to us all.

No kidding. The other day some kid made a comment doubting cinder block magic, and I was like "Bro, you're about to go the way of the moa!"

Close but no cigar. The Moa bird went extinct because Christopher Columbus’s brother sailed a different route and made it much further. Thanksgiving looked very different in New Zealand.

It was actually the inspiration for Dickens' Oliver Twist. "Please sir, may I have some Moa?"

OK, everyone check out George's link, and see if you can catch a dollar bill.
I could. Every time.
And I think anyone that plays piano reasonably well, can do the same.
That's my hypothesis. Eye/hand coordination is developed to be much faster for pianists.I used to piss off our cat because I could smack his paw faster than he could try to dig his claws into me. It always started out as a game, but he would get mad after losing over and over. He'd finally hiss, and run away, with me giggling like a little kid. Everyone now needs to go find their cat. If you don't have a cat, just walk down the street calling "kitty-kitty." Cats may be slower so that everyone can play that game and win. Not sure.

I couldn't catch the dollar but when it was increased to 20, I caught it every time. As they say, every man has his price.
