:This is a fairly commonly recognized phenomenon. Many golf publications reference this. e.g. [https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/b/tourblog/posts/the-effect-of-altitude-golf-ball-aerodynamics Titleist post][[User:OhFFS|OhFFS]] ([[User talk:OhFFS|talk]]) 21:20, 22 May 2019 (UTC) | :This is a fairly commonly recognized phenomenon.

:This is also commonly recognized in baseball. For example, [this paper[http://baseball.physics.illinois.edu/Denver.html] argues that after the spin-induced lift reduction ball will still fly 5% farther in Denver than in Boston due to altitude.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.172|108.162.216.172]] 14:08, 23 May 2019 (UTC) | :This is also commonly recognized in baseball.

I'd say the last frame is a reference to 5 o'clock time for drinks. On urban dictionary there's a reference to 4:20 being the time to 'smoke the reefer' [[User:Palmpje|Palmpje]] ([[User talk:Palmpje|talk]]) 18:17, 22 May 2019 (UTC) | I'd say the last frame is a reference to 5 o'clock time for drinks.

which means "thought they were UFOs from space". The English lyrics are not that definite. Anyway - a large 99 (or is it 94 at altitude?) year war broke out just because of some hyper-tense generals.

The "420" mile marker on Interstate 70 in Colorado was replaced by a "419.99" marker because it kept getting stolen. [http://loweringthebar.net/2014/01/colorado-removes-420-mile-marker.html].
