Georgeous. That's one of the best designs I've ever seen and I've got six that I really pride myself on!

There once was a jumper named Devon Who's height was about 4 foot 7 His rig was so small It made him look tall And got girls' motors a-revin' Damn damn damn i'm good!

There once was a weekend of rain Not one load went up, what a pain All day we did wait For the clouds to abait But alas, it all was in vain. And now it's monday. And beautiful looking from my office window... !@#$%^*&*

Why it is raining Is beyond comprehension Someone make it stop Sniffle

I once heard of jumping from planes But what I say is "you's insanes" Some sort of thingy Pops out like a dingy And saves you from numerous pains? Yeah right. [ed. note: you're allowed to make up words like "insanes" for limericks. it's called artisitic license. my mommy said so.]

There once was a sport called skydiving That got women and menfolk conniving The Man's boot they'd lick it For a jump ticket Thank lordy the fall was reviving! Good god, I'm hilarious!

There once was a jumper named Fred Who knew how to fly on his head In freefall he'd dock With a warp or a spock But his swoops were something to dread!

It's hard to remember everything, but here's at least some: 1. Tutor 2. Coffee Barrista 3. Day Care Worker 4. Grapefruit and Cotton Farmer 5. Potato Combine sorter 6. Palm Tree Fertilizer (that was fun!) 7. Hotel Clerk 8. Librarian 9. Hostess on South Beach 10. Wait Staff Johnny Rockets 11. Model for Aveda 12. Cashier at Health Food Store 13. Manager for a "Make your Own Wine" store 14. Business Manager for internet Startup 15. Supplements Specialist at Health Food Store 16. Office Manager for Consulting Firm edit: worked for the Manitoba Fur Trading Company somewhere in there, and travelled for 6 months selling home-made juggling balls. Um, all I can think of for now. Jeez. And in the next 25 years...

Sort of yes and sort of no. Setting up a grid is the easy part. It's figuring out how to use it properly that gets tricky. If you want to see how, don't use the website, keep working on the puzzle. Prove Gawain's answer.

Oh well that's cheating. Sort of. Good job. Einstein never counted on the internet! I think figuring out how to figure it out is the real logic puzzle, like algebra, so this website kind of does the footwork for you.

Grrr. Now I hate you. Is that right?

anywhere to the left.

Hm. Ok. Whatever. Whoever gets the answer first, um...case of beer?

Albert Einstein once posed a brain teaser that he predicted only 2% of the worlds population would get. FACTS: 1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours. 2. In each house lives a man with a different nationality. 3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigarette and keep a certain pet. 4. No owners have the same pet, brand of cigarette, or drink. 1. The Brit lives in a red house 2. The Swede keeps a dog 3. The Dane drinks tea 4. The green house is on the left of the white house. 5. The green house owner drinks coffee. 6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds. 7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house (the one on the left). 10. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats 11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill 12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer 13. The German smokes Prince 14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house 15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water. The question is, who keeps the fish? Don't hate me!

My boss ended up travelling on his honeymoon for 8 months and left me running his company. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, since I really didn't have the experience for it. When he got back, instead of a bonus, he got me a first jump course and two static line jumps. The weekend I went to cash them in, I camped out and did 5 jumps.

It sounds like you're sort of meshing together two very distinct issues: 1. do skydivers (or participants in extremem sports) have a higher occurence of mental disorders amongst them? 2. does being involved in skydiving (or another extreme sport) help a person recover from a mental disorder? In regards to #1, I would think not, although coming up with a control group would involve asking people NOT involved in extreme sports as well and would be really difficult to conduct. I think there are more and more "mentally disturbed" people in all walks of life, as we diagnose more and more personality traits. Regarding #2, I would think this would also be really hard to gauge and it would have to be split up by disorder. For example, I would doubt that any sport could cure multiple personality disorder, while it could very strongly affect depressive episodes. Any study along these lines, I would think, would need to be narrowed down a lot more, or made into many books!

Clearly neither of these kids were the sharpest bricks in the light bulb drawer.

Giraffes--they're tall, freckled, redheaded and long-necked. I can relate. Also, they have 14 inch long tongues!
