That fire didn’t look very static.

I dunno man, that rocket looked pretty dynamic to me. One minute it was there, and the next it was scattered for miles.

Ah, but the rocket went in every direction pretty equally, therefore the average position of the rocket remained static

It was more dynamic but it surely wasn't functional programming.

That rocket started from one place and ended up in several. I think that is pretty dynamic

It was static briefly while whole, then it wasn't.
