Strength of 100 million billion zillion men

It has been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long since I last blogged... I'm totally not sure if I even remember how to do this.  Anyway, today in 1A physics, we talked about the force diagram for a boy pushing against a wall.  We got onto the topic of why walls don't moves when they were being pushed.  Some said friction, others said the ground, and a few said it was their invisible friend Steve.  Then Btags dropped a book on the floor and kicked it and it went skidding across room.  I was thinking about it and the book has less mass then a wall.  So the reason I think a wall doesn't move is because a wall has too much mass for one person to exert enough force to move it.  And the more mass an object has the more anti-sliding force (a.k.a. friction) there is between the ground and the object.  So that is why it is hard to move big, heavy things, like furniture.  I told the class about my theory and for the most part, people agreed. 


Haha it's a yo mama joke, science style
