False.
The distance dropped is the same, and the rate of falling is the same. It just falls farther away.

Totally False

false, i think they say even a bullet (shot sideways) will hit the ground at the same time as a dropped bullet!
the earth's gravitational pull is much greater than the force of throwing an object sideways.
at least i think. =]

Only if you throw it so hard that the curvature of the Earth comes into effect.
If not, then it will hit the ground at the same time.
