    Cathy has six pairs of black gloves and six pairs of brown gloves in her drawer. In complete darkness, how many gloves must she take from the drawer in order to be sure to get a pair that match? Think carefully!!



    >>Cathy can never find a pair thatmatch in the dark!

    Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?



    >>Your memory?
    Here's on for you:
    It has a mouth but never speaks
    It has a bed but never sleeps
    It has a head but not one that weeps
    What is it?

    Jumping very rarely, and has another big surgery coming up. I don't think I could do much better. She wasn't doing anything risky or innapropriate and the sport just about killed her.



    >>Yeah it was weird, like a giant hand just swatted her out of the sky.

    ...Skydiving is dangerous. For everybody. Every skydive...we impose a death sentence on ourselves until we take the actions that are necessary to save our lives when we jump...be careful. Even being careful, and doing everything right, you can be maimed or killed.



    >>Amen to that brother. I made 3 today and I was thinking of Sandy. Triple checked everything and had fun. Yahoo.

    My friend Sandy was critically injured by a freak windshear accident that crushed her face. She was doing everything right, flying a conservative canopy, and was very nearly killed. Going up to the American Boogie that year, I decided to sell my gear. I was in cold sweats thinking about jumping.



    >>I remember that. Dust devil over grass, if I remember, invisible. Last time I saw her her jaw was still wired shut but it looked like the reconstructive surgeries went well. Is she pretty much back to normal? Still jumping?

    ...120ish way base with wackers.



    >>A 120 way base?!
    I couldn't imagine being in a 120-way and have that just be the base. The visuals for the divers just must be spectacular. How big a chunk of people can you launch at once out of one of those planes?

    He looked at me, then at the hawks flapping away and said, “Good idea!” We threw the gear into the car and off we went.

    I have a rule in life…you should try to scare the shit out of yourself at least once a month

    Guerrilla incursion was ruled out after what happened with the Reinhard Heydrich assassinstion & what happened at Lidice.



    >>The assination attempt against Heydrich by SAS trained Czechs in 1942 was ultimately successful, despite the fact that Heydrich managed to chase after them with his pistol. The British government discontinued partisan activities in the face of the brutality of Nazi reprisals, but I believe the American OSS continued operations in Europe till the end of the war.

    I've seen pin style toggles blow on opening.



    >>I've seen it twice. The second time it ripped that white loop right off the riser and damaged the cat-eye. Now I've got CR/Asylum risers and I like them much better. Zennie I'd suggest new risers!

    Having the ability to change your username every day or hour erodes the little accountability people have in online forums even further.



    >>For what it's worth, I feel that accountability is a big key for the cohesiveness of online communities. Anonymity allows users to circumvent the social norms of face to face etiquette, in a way similar to motorists (most people don't flip other people off unless they're driving :D). As DZ.com continues to grow, and if anonymity is left unchecked, the signal to noise ratio will decrease dramatically. IP logging and allowing only one username per user is positive step in the right direction.

    >>Perhaps a user-group for each forum may be helpful, where a team of individual community leaders specializing in a particular forum topic could resolve disputes and help re-emphasize site policy on a local level. I feel this would help build a sense of community ownership and reduce the need for an ever increasing number of moderators.

    I turn around from my pack-job an remark, "I know Tom ....... he wears the hat of 'Industrial Gravity Tester' proudly."
    Unfortunately the translation wasn't quite accurate, and I think a few left thinking he weighed metals for a living. Talk about miscommunications.

    So here's to Tom ...................... Internet Guardian, Free-Fall Whore, and last but not least Weigher of Metals.



    >>Heavy Metal! Yeah!
    :D

  25. >>I think it's the LO part of HALO that skydivers would have a hard time with. Taz how have you been? I haven't seen or heard from you since I ran into you at Lodi a while back. You're up to 700 now huh? I remember when you were scaring the hell out of every AFFI at Byron ha ha! :P:D
    Hope you're well brother
