What more do you need? Some nut in Minnesota jumped off a radio tower, in the fog, miscalculated the distance from tower top to the ground and went splllaaaaaat.

On Thursday, family and friends who gathered at Wagar's Brooklyn Park home to support his wife, Gretchen, and toddler son, Max, declined to talk about him. This moron does base jumping married and with a child???

Registration based site. I guess their advertisers don't want people to see their stuff.

Ok, rule of thumb: Any hobby where one of your your most experienced members is all of 32 years old is probably a hobby to avoid.

Saw a neat tv commercial for a local churh........ this fellow scales a tall tower to bungee jump off of it. At the top, he chug-alugs a carton of milk, then jumps. His cord isn't attached, and you hear a big splat. The announcer comes on and asks; Got jesus?
