Shot putting babies

[JustJon]

<p>Ron thinks he can shot put a baby 25 yards.&nbsp; Earl said 40.</p><p>Do you think they can make it?</p><p>And how far do you think you can shot put a baby?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(And yes, I know about the other thread, but it turned into a tooling thread because it was poorly spelled and really vague, so that one is for tooling, this one is for discussing shot putting babies.)&nbsp;</p>

[jeffdwright2001]

So in which thread&nbsp;do I put my golf putting babies comment?

[crb1]

<p>Shot putting or hammer throwing???&nbsp; There's a huge difference.&nbsp; I don't think I can shot put a baby (weighing about 11 lbs.) more than 35-40 feet.&nbsp; However, I think I could probably hammer throw one 40 yards or more.&nbsp; The weight just helps build momentum.</p><p>There's also holding the baby by the torso and using the discus method.&nbsp; I think I could do about 20-25 yards that way.</p>

[Judge Smails]

<p>I've got a bum shoulder.&nbsp; But, I think I could place kick a baby about 40 yards.</p><p><a onclick="sizeChange.toggle()"><img title="Kick the baby!" height="120" alt="Kick the baby!" src="http://gaming.420house.net/albums/misc/owned_grama.gif" width="160" border="0" name="photo_j" /></a></p>

<p>i'm sitting next to a sleeping three week old right now.&nbsp; it is probably 10-12 pounds, here are my calculations.</p><p>shotput: 8 feet</p><p>overhand: 14 feet</p><p>hammer:&nbsp;21 feet</p>

I want to know how far you could hurl a baby with one of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ4J8XZ7bv8" target="_self">THIS THINGS</a>...

[Hottub]

evedder's numbers look pretty close to the mark, But I bet I could get 5 to 10 feet more with the hammer method Lots of momentum and that over-sized baby head..

[chili]

<p>I threw the shotput and discus in high school and I think some of you are going a little lofty with expectations of throwing a 12-15 lb baby 40 feet. At the high school level, good, in shape shotput throwers would throw a 16 lb shot just upwards of 50 ft. With a shotput, you have all the weight in a very dense package that is easier to toss. A baby is much less dense and won't stay balled up, posing problems when attempting to hurl the lil thing. I'm thinking 25-30 feet on a good day.</p><p>The hammer toss, now, is a whole different ballgame.&nbsp;</p>

[newport king]

what if you kill the baby, let rigor mortis set in then throw it javelin style?

Now this is a baby thread I can enjoy!!!

<p>How about adding an event where you drop babies from a very tall height onto a target for accuracy?&nbsp; We could have a whole decathalon event thing going on.</p><p><img src="http://www.dw-world.de/image/0,,1648967_4,00.jpg" border="0" /></p>

I've been workin' out..I'm good for 50 yds...mind you if we get to BBQ said baby then I'm going to roll it a couple feet...don't want bruise said appetizer...bring on the sweet and sour sauce yummmm

<p>Nice pic of the Trebuchet, Funkman. Those thing cand throw a piano 100 yards.</p><p>I looked up the world records for shot put and hammer throw, both of those are 16 pounds, so if ya had a baby that weight:</p><p>Wikipedia has the mens world record for shot put at about 75 feet, or 25 yards. So a shot style Baby throw will&nbsp;probably not launch a toddler&nbsp;that far. I think Earl said something about 40 yards, and Ron said 25 I think, not sure if that was a baby throw distance, or baby shot put.</p><p>The mens world record for hammer throw is about 285 feet, or 95 yards. But that would involve attaching a steel wire to a handle and then the baby, and again, world class technique in Baby ballistics.</p><p>I'm ignoring the mentioned air resiatance of flailing limbs. My prediction for both shot and hammer throw style baby throws would be a Baby launch angle of a bit under 45 degrees, compensating for height of Baby thrower.</p><p>I wonder if we could stuff a baby down a potato cannon type thing...</p>

[FreshJ]

I don't think I could go more then 30 feet with a shot put of the baby, but with enough engineering I may be able to make it survive the toss or even a drop from a 5 story building.<br />

[zombiejellyfish]

But with a little junk hanging down, you might be able to train the
baby to use it as a sort of rudder so it can fly straight and narrow.<br />

[DirtbagIan]

That's cheating.<br />

The important question is how do we cook it after we're finished throwing it?<br />

Did the baby just eat? Formula or boobie-juice? That could add another couple of ounces.<br />

Okay, if we're really being truthful here, I've had two shoulder surgeries so i'm probably droppin' BabyLove down the manhole right in front of me. What a waste of good baby meat!<br />

How do you measure? where teh baby lands or where it stops rollin/bouncing?&nbsp; Or wher the farthest blood splatter lands when it lands on it's soft spot?

as someone else mentioned, i too have a bum shoulder and though i'm not sure i could throw one, i'm willing to bet i could slap shot a healthy baby around 70 mph, with a one piece wooden stick.

[DarkHippie]

you're all nuts.&nbsp; I don't think anyone can shot put a baby more than 15 feet.&nbsp; A baby isn't aerodynamic at all, plus its heavier at one end so the flight will be wobbily.
