Seeing how strong our gravitational pull is here on Earth, would it be possible to kill someone if you drop a penny off the Empire State building?

That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters". The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.
