(Or, as a friend of mine once put it: "If you drop a BB off the top
of the Empire State Building, and it hits somebody in the head, you'll
kill them. You can also kill them by pushing a grand piano out of the
second floor" :-)

Actually, the Mythbusters tried the dropping a penny off Empire State
Building, it didn't even break the skin, let alone lodge in the skull. A BB
would have the same results.
