Here's the calculation in case you were curious. Spoiler: Show V=√(2mg/pAC) V=terminal velocity m=mass. The average mass of a bull sperm wsummon the same wieght in cows at the same hight, not as much damage (unless you strap bombs to the first) but you have a better chance of hitting something by raining cows on them.BTW, Japanese fishermen in the middle of the ocean started sendinghttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29611737/How_much_damage_would_a_falling_sperm_whale_do?post_id=527807045#527807045summon the same wieght in cows at the same hight, not as much damage (unless you strap bombs to the first) but you have a better chance of hitting something by raining cows on them.BTW, Japanese fishermen in the middle of the ocean started sendingSun, 06 Jan 2013 13:21:08 -0600The sperm whale's natural streamlining might actually make it more capable of veering off course than a comparable mass in some other form, in the same way that a plane's shape helps it move through the air.But even if it's trying to hit, it's movinghttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29611737/How_much_damage_would_a_falling_sperm_whale_do?post_id=527791977#527791977The sperm whale's natural streamlining might actually make it more capable of veering off course than a comparable mass in some other form, in the same way that a plane's shape helps it move through the air.But even if it's trying to hit, it's movingSun, 06 Jan 2013 01:21:10 -0600No, a Minotaur or anthropomorphic bull.
