So, what is your favorie Physics Flubb, Real World Imposibility, or
just outlandish action/ability in your game?

Mine is that in Battletech a mech with no arms and only one leg can
stand up from lying flat on it's back. An unless I miss my guess, a
Quad Mech can do the same thing.

I just can't imagine it doing that, it seems so wrong to me.

The low gravity Battletech rules:

At 0.1 G, a mech can move ten times as fast as normal.
(The old 'Mass, not Weight' problem.)
But at 0 G, the mech can only move it's normal speed.
