Assuming you're 80 kg and she's 60 kg and you're standing 1 m apart, she'll be attracted to you with an extra 4x10^-9 Newtons of force. That makes you about 1.2% more attractive to her.

Ooh...me gusta. I'm gonna guess a burrito has a similar flashpoint (i.e. the temperature at which it ignites) to wood, which would put it around 300 degrees Celsius (~570 Kelvin). There's a lot of water in food, so I'll assume they have similar heat capacities (~4 J/g K). As such, a 0.5 kg burrito would need to gain 500 kJ of heat energy to ignite. The energy lost due to friction for a burrito will be about the same magnitude as that for a baseball. I'm assuming all the energy lost to friction goes into heating the burrito. (Numerical Assumptions: Drag coefficient ~ 0.3, Area ~ 9 square inches, air density 1.2 kg/m^2, burrito catchs on fire in 1 second.) This will be about (0.0003 kg s/m) x (velocity)^3. This gives about 1000 m/s.

OK...now this is my kind of question. I'll assume 1 cm long pubes spaced 2 mm apart covering a total area of 20 square inches. Laid end-to-end, that gives a total pube length of about 60 m for each person. At about about 10 microns thick with a density of 1 g/cm^3, you'd have a total mass of about 64 mg of hair. The mass of a sweater might be 0.3 kg. From this, you can see that you'd need about 5000 people or roughly 100 dorm floors assuming 50 people per floor.

If only for shock value...yes, I'd love a sweater....

A quick web search shows that in the U.S., about 4000 cocaine-related deaths occur each year. There is a similar number of motorcycle related deaths. The fraction of cocaine users over the age of 12 is about 0.7 percent. There are about 6 million motorcycle riders in a U.S. population of 300 million, meaning that roughly 2 percent of Americans are motorcycle riders. Given a similar numer of deaths, but about 3 times as many riders as cocaine users, it's likely that cocaine use is more dangerous.

Love the detail in this one. Let's see. It takes me about half an hour to read through a magazine. (I'm a slow reader, but I tend to skip pages.) This means I'd need about 80 magazines for the whole trip. If magazines are 0.5 cm thick, you should be able to stack at least 100 in your steamer trunk. BTW, sad to admit I had to look up what a steamer trunk is :(
