Cases against:
10 ft per second is pretty slow (6.82 mph) for a ball to travel
Does not use stairway to heaven
It came from me

Anyways, the game should be mighty interesting (/me formulates for a drive system that works on stairs )

6.82 mph huh??

Well, I went bowling tonight and the balls in the lane next to me were traveling from ~9.8 - 23.0 mph

So if it truely is 6.2 mph (10 Ft/sec) then it is slow I guess, but if the field is 30ft long, then it takes 3 seconds max to reach one side?? Wow!!

But, if this is not linear motion but rotational motion then the speed would be relevent to the radius of the wheel or whatever right?

Ok, so since I suck at math... Someone find out what circular speed a 3.5 inch caster would be with a 10 ft/sec linear motion applied!

Eh, well, we are on the home stretch now, but I have decided to post these anyway. They have to add up to something other than what we are already somewhat confident in. The chances that our guesses here are correct are about as good as flipping 12 pennies and having them all landing on heads.. in the grand scheme of things, thats not bad!

Personally, I think the reference is to poke fun at the ridiculous amount of lumber that we have to buy... you know, "And she's buuuuyyying a stairway, to heaven..."

Besides, with all this talk of Stairway, has it ever occured to anyone that maybe Dave just likes Led Zeppelin?

Tacos sound good. Just not from Taco Bell, okay?

So when do I get my taco?

p.s. sometimes the best hints are the most obvious.

That statement makes far too much sense for me to understand it.
