Special One Book/One Community Event. Free presentation by Don Thomas, Space Shuttle Astronaut, on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 7 PM at Kent State University Trumbull, campus auditorium (4314 Mahoning Ave. NW, Warren).
A facepalm (sometimes also face-palm or face palm) is the physical gesture of placing one's hand across one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands, covering or closing one's eyes. The gesture is often exaggerated by giving the motion more force and making a slapping noise when the hand comes in contact with the face.
I answered a different question and was reminded of a facepalm moment because we had the same experience, so I'll add. I asked our science teacher before which is faster: light or sound. She said sound because according to the bible, In the beginning was the word therefore, sound. It was during a telecon I attended.
