Gravity, The Real Winner

You have to really respect gravity.  It is so patient, so subtle, so unassuming yet ultimately so victorious.  It's going to get you, you know.  Eventually.  Not only will it swallow you into the earth, or at least clutch your remnants in tiny pieces flat to the earth's surface, it is going to do the same to everything you ever created.  And not only you of course, but everyone including God, if you think God made the mountains.  Good old gravity.  Just sitting there tugging gently, unnoticed against it all.  Well, I guess that recently there have been a couple of escapes, but a few cans of wire and metal tossed out of reach, hardly count against gravity's over all record.  It's pretty impressive.
