+1. Guns are to be used when you are cornered and there is no other safe alternative. Using guns in anger, and especially teaching kids that it's "cool" to use a gun when you're angry will do nothing except increase the chances of accidents, or even people doing something really stupid.

They wear clothes? I guess so, but I still don't see why I'm supposed to look at the clothes. I live next two a couple of hospitals, one of them has an eating-disorder clinic. The law says they have to smoke at least 100 feet away from the hospital, so they stand on the street corner, an entire pack of skinny girls, smoking. They've caused a few car accidents already. Too bad I hate smokers. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Ladies, if a man proposes to you with writing on the windshield of his car, I strongly advise you NOT to say "No". Even if you don't like him (although he may even be the father of your children), I might suggest "Maybe", and then let him down later, when he's too intoxicated to hurt you. http://www.postchronicle.com/news/strange/article_212399213.shtml Francisco Hernandez, 22, figured the time was right to ask his long term girlfriend and mother of his children to marry him. He plastered "Stacy Will You Marry Me" on the back window of his car and drove off to ask for her hand in marriage. Hernandez wasn't expected to hear “No” to his request. Feeling rejected and outraged, he attempted to run the love of his life down with his car. According to reports, Hernandez’s car just missed the mother of his children—-went over curb, across the sidewalk, crashing through bushes and eventually ended up in a Burger King parking lot. He drove from there with two flat tires and abandoned the car shortly after. Witnesses told the police where to locate the vehicle. Hernandez was found close to the area and arrested without incident. He possessed a bouquet of flowers in his hand at the time. Likewise, if a man proposes to you and gives you a pink handgun as a token, it might be a good idea to wait until later to break his heart. Or any weapon for that matter. Same to be said if he's an air traffic controller. In fact, maybe just dump the loser before he has a chance to propose. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I still have my original Atari 400 sitting in my closet. Tape drive and all. I started programming in BASIC on it in 1980. I've made a very good career out of software development, which has afforded me expensive luxuries, such as children. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

There was this one girl that kept going WAY out of her way to compare me to her ex, even though I'm really not like him (I know him). To the point that she kinda started making stuff up about me, just to compare me to him. I'm still confused about that. Was she still obsessed with him? Did she think all men are the same (as him)? Was she trying to get me riled up just to contradict her and prove that I'm not the same? Was I even there? (actually, I wonder that a lot in the rest of my life, too).

Fortunately, most people are smart enough to read more than just a really, really biased headline. Personally, I disagree with the 'love thy neighbor as thyself' part. No way I'm giving my neighbors a hand-job. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Mitt's latest shipment of human imports arrived at his warehouse today, but he denies that imported people are harmful to the American slave-economy.

Surprising to me. I wouldn't think a resin plastic would be nearly as strong as say, a boxing mouthpiece made of rubber. In any event, I'm more concerned about breaking them. Maybe I'll have to do some testing with one set of the older trays Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Does anyone do this? I know one or two jumpers who have them, but have not talked to them specifically about jumping with them on. If you have them, do you take them out before jumping? Any worries about them breaking if you face-plant? I'm thinking it might add a choking hazard to an already dangerous situation. I will say this - the suckers stay in place, tight! I'm not worried about them coming off during freefall. Same question for Wind Tunnels - do you fly tunnel with them in, or take them out? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I posted to this thread a long time ago, and have had a few "interesting" students since then. The ones I remember most are the ones that say funny things during the ground-school. Like one young woman (about 19 y/o), who prattled out something like this: "What do we do when our 'chute doesn't open? Oh, I think we're supposed to cut it off, fly to the other guy and clip ourselves to that guy. Is that right?" I swear that Hollywood puts these ideas in people's minds.
