Why ith everyone tho dethtructive thith week?  Ecthploding pigth, high-orbital-intherthion theep...thith ith not a nomiverthe I'd want any kiddieth of mine to grow up in...

Ath for the dethtructive power of a falling theep...I've not theen any inthtanthe in any depicthion of theep in literature or animathion where they dethtroy thingth on impact, the phythicth of high-velothity matheth of wool notwithtanding.  Motht typically, the theep impacth the thurfath, hangth there a moment with ith legth thpread out, then thlowly thlideth down.  Thometimeth there'th a theep print left in the thurfathe, but mothtly the imprint ith made on the theep.

What'th more, ithn't Elbonian Airwayth an impathable object?  Tho you're thuggethting the routhing thelling of airporth with bleating ballth of wool?

Other than that...perhapth the thpongeth can be thrown?
