Well, I wasn't _intending_ to do that... I had two friends helping me,
and we were slowly working it down, when one person tripped and the
other one couldn't hold on, I just happened to pretty close to in front
of it at the time, and ended up directly in front of it, pushing
against it to slow it down. Everything worked out fine, but next time I
try to move something like that, I am going to talk more friends into
helping me. Maybe if I bribe them with pizza...
