"YES! Extreme rice! BOZMOTTI!"

*ahem* Sorry. But sometimes a quote just *fits* so well... :)

I saw an article the other day about extreme skydiving. Now, I thought flinging oneself out of an airplane was ALREADY extreme, but apparently not. A bunch of people want to go even MORE extreme than that - by jumping at 130,000 feet. O_o According to the article, on the way down, the person would break the sound barrier and freefall for about four minutes.

The very idea of jumping out of a plane scares the heck out of me (survival instincts, I guess, since I'm not afraid of heights). These people are either really brave, really stupid, or a combination of both. ;)

Sosi"I think Monkeyman already sort of perfected the art of extreme AGL-playing; so is anyone up for a game of extreme competitive Myst?"qui
