miked10270 0 #2 January 6, 2005 Hmmm... I always thought that the odds of dying were pretty near 100%. When where & how is more the issue? Actually, no.

Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Zenister 0 #8 January 7, 2005 Quotethe leading causes of death in the United States are, in this order, heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and "accidental injury," meanwhile who has a tougher time getting decent health insurance (self or through an employer) 'extreme' sports participants or out of shape, obviously obese bastages??____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

How much does your bike weigh, anyway? Do you use a tandem rig with it, or do you have some special cargo rigging? Does the altitude make it cheaper to get drunk? It sounds like fun, and something I might want to try. I just want to get some input from you, first, so I can go about it safely. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

flyhi 24 #18 January 7, 2005 QuoteYou are more likely to commit suicide or fall to your death than be killed by a tsunami or any natural disaster, the odds say.
