In fact, if you tried to break your own arm by pushing against a brick wall I bet your ligaments might tear or the bone might dislocate before the bone broke.

At any rate, I think you can still call him Bricky Kurlander since obviously he is just as unmovable, even if the vectors would different. But of course I defer to pan2…

My understanding is that I could have just as easily broke my arm pushing against a brick wall in the same manner. I don’t think the fact that Andy was pushing back changes the amount of pressure on the bone at all. If there was some physics man *cough* pan2 *cough* in the house I might get a more studied opinion. Or at least a more studly opinion.

And all of this is not just to champion my own strength in breaking my arm, but I’d also like to be able to call my undefeatable oponent Andy “Brick Wall” Kurlander. Wouldn’t that be sorta cool?

Could he break his own arm a second time?
