Wow, what the heck happened to Eddie Van Halen? http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1778&e=1&u=/060306/482/camw12703061102

According to urbandictionary.com and from gowing up on the streets of chicago, Pinga is slang for other things as well.... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pinga Sorry...

Well, at the time it was #1 for the voting as well as the order. Now, not so much.

It's #1 now!

Wonderful! I feel like a kid who can't wait to open a present! Thanks for keeping the spirit of christmas (the time for giving) alive!

Single or married, I have never had any issue with any of this. To me, its just a natural part of life. Not a big deal. Male or female, we all have "issues".

Wow, your right!

Came across this photo. To me, the pope looks a little bit on the creepy side. Original URL: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1778&e=4&u=/051221/1911/u122111aujpg

One last call out.... Since it's Christmas, how about some gift wrapped boobies? Lets see how creative can people be?

For you google earth users.... There is limited flight tracking available for google earth. There is a service (free right now) that will overlay flight information in google earth and it is near real time. The flight traffic available is listed at: http://www.fboweb.com/antest/ge/intro.aspx Attached are a couple of snapshots of inbound traffic into O'Hare. Pretty cool stuff!

The slowest that I have gone has been just over 100mph, but that was with a camera suit filming a tandem (light tandem master and student).

Wow! How'd you manage that?

My apologies if this has been covered before. What is the fastest fall rate any of you have achieved belly flying? Some time ago, I made it to 175mph. Aside from the necessary skydiving gear, I opted to wear just sweats. I hopped out of the otter at 13,500 and arched as hard as I could until about 5,000ft, at which point I threw it into a reverse arch until about 3,000ft. There was no way I wanted to deploy going that fast.

In case you are interested in a career change, there is an entire porn company for sale on eBay. Too funny! http://cgi.ebay.com/ENTIRE-PORN-COMPANY-FOR-SALE_W0QQitemZ7567775239QQcategoryZ11764QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Proving the point that you can find anything on the internet!

Here is some footage of the jump... http://www.jeep.com/jeep_life/news/jeep/operation_gratitude.html

The "R" seems to be ® as in registered trademark. Could be the registration trademark for "Paracommander". If that were the case, still not sure what the "mod" is.

I don't know but I did get it to pause at just the right moment!

Wow, came across another one. Two in one day.

My apologies if this has been posted previous. It was interesting to find a photo of skydivers in the header on the Epson.com site. Are any of these guy you?

Have there been any incidents where the tube has interfered with the PC?

I came across this photo (which is a nice shot, BTW) on the SDC website. http://skydivechicago.com/gallery/weekend_4_16/tube_deploy_2 In my opinion this seems "less" than safe. What do you think?

Sorry, you're right.....corrected.
