Well, that was interesting. You don't have to outrun the bear.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24203929 Fingerprint ID hacked by photographing a fingerprint and creating a fake finger. This is obviously the route Anthony Weiner was attempting. We didn't give him enough credit for his technical prowess. On a side note, the article says there's 1 chance in 50,000 that two fingerprints are alike. There are over 300 million people in America. Makes fingerprint evidence seem a little less certain. And in conclusion, even a quite large penis will fit in slot intended to accept a finger sized object if enough Astroglide is used. (Astroglide - is it named that because astronauts use it?) You don't have to outrun the bear.

What do you think about the idea of bigger, slower canopies for formation jumps? You don't have to outrun the bear.

Like I would tell you if I did. Can you imagine that turning up at a gun show? You don't have to outrun the bear.

Emerald Coast Skydiving - Elberta Alabama, has their own airfield, but their status has changed since Jimmy Horak's accident. You don't have to outrun the bear.

I'd say patch it. And if you got into the barbed wire because you didn't see it until you were pretty low and decided not to make a sharp, low turn to avoid the fence - good choice. Better a rip in the canopy than a trip to the hospital. You don't have to outrun the bear.

You want an electric sports car ? http://www.formulaeracing.com/?p=176 (the link is a little slow. give it a few seconds) You don't have to outrun the bear.

That's why I like tequila. It was never a potato. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Like I would have actually read the story before posting a comment. Why do you hate uninformed, opinionated people? You don't have to outrun the bear.

You've said that twice now, but you have yet to back it up with expensive, government-funded research. How do we know that isn't just a rumor started by straight men so they can go to the gym with lesbians? You don't have to outrun the bear.

Visit each DZ. Hang around for a while. See which vibe you like best. You don't have to outrun the bear.

If there's a wind tunnel 15 minutes from where you live, go back there and work on it 'til the problem is fixed. You don't have to outrun the bear.

When I think of the great minds of our time, I think of Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Michele Bachmann ... comedians everywhere long for politicians like her and mourn their retirement. But hey, Weiner's back! You don't have to outrun the bear.

The part that got me was that they wouldn't be able to afford the aircraft without tax breaks like accelerated depreciation. You're right; manufacture and use of corporate aircraft does spread around a lot of money. I'm sure candidate Romney would agree with you that the government should keep that going, even if means some would-be taxpayers zero out their tax bill in the process. You don't have to outrun the bear.

You jest, but I had a serious discussion a while back with a guy who insisted that 1. corporate aircraft make their business more efficient and profitable and 2. the federal government needs to give tax breaks for corporate aircraft because the business wouldn't be able to afford one without the tax breaks.

Cutaways are not random. That is, they are not evenly distributed among all skydivers. Some people pack more carefully, some less carefully. Small, elliptical canopies that turn faster also spin up faster than big, square canopies. When someone pulls lower, they have less time to fight a line twist or stuck slider than someone who pulls higher. Makes sense that you might see clusters of cutaways at a DZ depending who comes out on a particular day. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Hex rules, but you're really showing your age knowing about octal. You didn't travel here from the past, did you? You don't have to outrun the bear.

The clouds aren't the problem. The problem is not changing the plan when it quit working for you. On the run in to the exit point, did you see landmarks to tell you where you were, or just clouds? You had an option to move out of the door and stay on the plane, but you stuck with the plan. You broke out of the clouds at 6. You had an option to notice how far off you were and pull higher, but you stuck with the plan and pulled at 4. If you planned to leave something on the stove for 15 minutes, but it caught fire after 5 minutes, would you wait another 10 minutes to put out the fire? You don't have to outrun the bear.

No firsts, but helicopter, Casa, Twin Otter. You don't have to outrun the bear.

That Nigerian guy tried to buy a freezer that I had for sale. He must have a lot of stuff. You don't have to outrun the bear.

That's not always a moronic attitude. It can also be a defiant and even game changing attitude. e.g. "Yeah, I googled (whatever). What the fuck are you going to do about it?" I remember when we started naked skinny dipping at Hippy Hollow (that's a real place), the sheriff arrested a few people. As more and more people went nude swimming on hot afternoons, sheriff couldn't arrest them all, so the state built a parking lot and put up signs to warn tourists that there was nudity going on at the beach. It's not so much "...you have nothing to fear", as "If I've done nothing wrong, you should be more afraid of me than I am of you." You don't have to outrun the bear.

I can't believe you called Weiner a prick. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Well, in the eyes of the law in Florida, either one of them could "stand their ground". You don't have to outrun the bear.

Depends on which street. If it's one I'm thinking of: you punch your wife - people walking by say "bitch probably had it coming" you punch a stranger - people walking by your body lying in the gutter say "bitch probably had it coming" Back on point: the girl in this case wasn't a wife or a stranger. She was a student. You don't have to outrun the bear.

There's more fish in the sea. You don't have to outrun the bear.
