Did Galileo realy drop two things from the Leaning Tower of Pisa? And they both reached the ground at the same time? Even though they were a diffrent weight?

NEVER! underestimate youth

yes. get a grape and and orange and drop them from the same distance right now! gravity effects all things equally.

gecko is right, but I don't believe Galileo actually performed that experiment.  He (or perhaps it was someone else) used inclines.  Objects of different weight sliding (or rolling) down the inclines reached the bottom at the same time.

You have to keep in mind wind resistance! tak a paper and a paper clip and drop them!

   If its not illegal... It's legal!

ive been to the leaning tower in pisa and i think i remember there being a plaque about galileo or some board with info about the mall that its located on (there are a few other buildings right around there...) and i remember it saying something about galileo... so i think that its true

He definitely did lots of experiments rolling cannon balls down slopes, I doubt that he had the technology to drop two things off the tower accurately enough. He may have done it, but I don't think he prooved anything by it.
