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.
