And you wouldn't understand it if you received one...
Anyways, the centripetal force per unit mass acting on the body at the equator is v2/R. This value is negligible compared to g=9.8 m/s2. Gravity will always win.
The Earth would have to rotate once per 1.41 hours, or 17 times faster than its current rate, to toss objects directly at the equator into outer space.
Seeing that you don't live at the equator, it looks like you're safe. I can still dream, though...
