I must have too much time on my hands at the end of a four day holiday.  With all due respects to Johnny Organ Donor I'm going to re-post this on the DMF, I don't think it was ever posted here:

A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of conveyer belt). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Can the plane take off?"

Damn you Bob...

at 140 mph everything takes off

not again   

I feel all shaky and weak

Yes it will take off, and the reason why is because the airplane's wheels just roll free, the propeller is what makes the plane go therefore, the plane will take off regardless.

new to the game  ^^^

What if your bike was on a treadmill?

Would you still be able to jump over it?

You're too new to know that story.  And I can't find it at the moment.
