"This is what we want to find out: What happens to the human body when it breaks the speed of sound," Baumgartner said. "That's a big question mark."

As I was told a long time ago, the only thing that falls out of the sky is bird$hit and idiots!

The only way anyone is getting me to parachute out of an airplane is if I get a signed certificate from the pilot that the plane is on fire and crashing...

I want that certificate witnessed and notarized as well!

Reminds me of what my dad said when I had the opportunity to attend jump school at Ft. Benning before I reported to flight school; “Why would you go to school to learn how to do something you have to do right the first time anyhow?”

Betty, a reaper on "Dead Like Me" comments on jumping:

"Falling is easy - you just fall. Jumpin' takes will power. Landing is like falling - you just land."

Betty died jumping from a cliff into a shallow stream she thought was much deeper.

I’ve always said that this is what we need to do with the Gitmo inmates: Modify the “Rods from God” program to use Islamic supremacists instead of tungsten rods, and use them on targets in Waziristan.

The math says he can do it. Experience says he can do it. I hope he does it, then charges $100 for the rest of us to give it a try. OK, maybe I’ll go to $105 but no more...then I’m out.
