You go to an office to work? That must suck Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

No way I could do that with my hairy nips. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

It really wasn't too bad in downtown Denver - I've seen worse flooding around my house in previous years. Here in the city, we send all of our drainage to Boulder and Aurora Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

When I was married, my ex-wife's family were all skydivers. We all jumped together Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I used to think that. Until I met people here in Colorado that do 100-mile off-road footraces. They usually last more than a day. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I think this will help people understand why it's important to create descriptive meta-information about their links. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

This is why Americans should travel. Not to Hawaii or Disneyland - travel to the places they tell you not to go, because they're "too dangerous". Very few times I have gone to other countries and felt any sense of being threatened. I live next to low income, drug-ridden apartments, and have come close to being killed more times living in my own house than going to another country. Point is, I've been to Indonesia and seen entire families living in piles of garbage. Not just a few people, like an old man (of maybe 28 years, who looked 50), his ragged wife, and their children. Babies, super skinny dogs. They built shanties out of the garbage discarded by the mini-mall, behind which they lived. 30 years is the average male life expectancy, and wars between islands claim more people than they can estimate. I've been to the Mennonite villages of Belize, where the young boys' swim and dive into crocodile-infested rivers, and the parents raise kids only to work the farms. Many of them are missing limbs from the farm machinery. I've been to Fiji, where the villagers ask people to bring boxes of band-aids, because the kids are all walking around with maggot-infested scrapes and wounds from living on a harsh island. My dad is a vet and I would sometimes visit him in the psych ward of the VA hospital, where the men from overseas wars, who were too functionally incompetent to live in the real world, would tell horror stories of things they did to the people in SE Asia, and what those people did to them. Here, they get treatment, and a place to stay. Over there, their war veterans that can't live in the real world just curl up and die with no one to take care of them. You get back to your air-conditioned, Internet-fed, kitchen-appliance, manicured lawn house in the States, looking forward to your next jump out of an airplane, just for entertainment, and realize that life here isn't so bad.

Where filmed? Who produced it? What date? Student project? Attempt to simulate a horseshoe, or other malfunction? Probably few people have all the answers, but many one or two people know a little more info. I can't find any other clips on it - just this one compilation. With a little more info, I can probably narrow down the horde of videos on YouTube. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Thanks for the info! Really helps answer my question. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Sorry if this has been discussed - please link if so. I'm interested in just one video of this compilation: from 0:38 to 0:56, but I started it at 0:36 for your convenience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VUeLDA27Mc&t=0m36s I want to say fake, only because the "jumper" doesn't look very dirty afterwards. I don't recall ever seeing this one before. Any information would be terrific! Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I have always believed that we, as a whole, give humans WAY too much credit with our supposed "intelligence". Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Sure. He just can't get in on any of her awesome big-ways. Who you marry isn't important in this sport; but only good jumpers are allowed on the cool jumps. We have standards Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Sounds like more of a stalker than a boyfriend Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I prefer to think of them as reformed: Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

You never really lose your boyfriend/girlfriend that skydives. You just lose your turn Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Poking fun at another post These young-uns, gotta let them know the REAL story. lol Got a microscope? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

There are plenty of ex-couples at my DZ that are just about to kill each other, but they're all too stubborn to give up skydiving at the same dropzone, so all they do is create drama at the DZ. "Powered by Gravity" ... Bullshit! "Powered by DRAMA" describes the sport of skydiving. At first, it all seems cool, good vibes, good vibrators, cheap alcohol, cheap sex, good jumping, good jumping on each other. Then that bitch/asshole shows their-self for the true cunt/pussy that she/he really is. Wanting you to pay for her/his skydive, fix her/his AAD, buy her/him a new rig, and when THAT doesn't happen, Oh, Boy, WATCH OUT! "I thought you loved me", "but honey, I need to skydive, too!", "Why did I even get a tattoo of your name on my genitalia?", "I suppose you aren't going to share your mushrooms with me, either" and "I even got your herpes so we could be together forever!" Now, I'm not saying that two skydivers can't make things work. Why, I literally know THREE couples that have great relationships, skydive together and are married to each other (hint, they've all been moderators here at some point). So all I'm saying is, if you want to have fun for many years at the DZ, then do NOT get involved with another skydiver, because that will make things suck. Unless you're willing to be a moderator here on dz.com, then you've got a chance. What do you think? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Seems to me to be akin to refusing to buy a Toyota automobile because you hate the fact that Henry Ford was anti-Semitic (the Nazis even gave the dude a medal). But it's your choice to boycott. I've got some pretty crazy things I'm boycotting as well, so I shouldn't judge Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
