Some of you may think he's joking, you'd be wrong. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Great advice. Shame it's not compulsory. Superman0710: Great to see you asking these questions and that you've already got a copy of The Parachute and Its Pilot on the way, you going about it the right way. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Better still, sell the car and buy a tent and shit loads of noodles and you will have even more $$$ for jumping! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Unfortunately most people think they are tribal sperms!! Haha. But hey, I let em think that cos it saves me trying to explain what a closing pin is in detail for the millionth time. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Here's one of mine, well two. They hurt like a bitch! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Absolutely. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I'd ask this guy. www.earthtrekuk.net ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I would hardly call it class, mearly common decency. I think we are giving the man just a little bit too much credit here, I mean, he hardly gave him a kidney did he. I don't respect him for it, so to speak, but I would probably disrespect him if he didn't do it and let the old guy sleep on the floor. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Put weights on the other guys or fatten em up a bit. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

If the 'something in it' is a return flight to Florida then i'll do it for ya! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I'll give that one a miss then! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

How would you feel about training to just own the gun? Would it make any difference do you feel? Haven't thought this out, just a brain fart. I mean, you have to be trained before you can drive a car etc. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Absolutley, that's why i was having a stab at people who just scream "GUILTY, SEND HIM DOWN" who clearly aren't accepting all points of view and hypothesis. Unless there is something i'm missing and they have already seen allthe evidence in the case and can make a solid judgement on the guy and are incapable of understanding the innocent until proven guilty concept. Hahahaha ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Care to explain why you think that or are you just disminssing it at face value without researching it? Why would he be getting bodies of executed prisoners and homeless people when he has over 6000 people offering him their bodies and over 300 bodies that he is actually working on at the moment? My girlfriend is a forensic scientist and has also worked in a mortuary for experience, you'd surprised at what actually happens to bodies to discover the reason of death. Are you against post mortems too or is it just the fact he is bringing this into the public eye that you think it is disrespectful? ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Absolutely, even if he did use the bodies of prisoners, which I very much doubt he did from the things I have read and seen, I think it shows more respect for the body to use it to help educate others and help people in the future than dumping it in a mass grave and leaving it to rot. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

DOCUMENTARY: Anatomy for Beginners Channel: Channel 4 Lesson 1: Movement (Part 1 of 4). Anatomist Gunther von Hagens and pathologist John Lee begin a series of anatomy classes, including a human dissection filmed before an invited audience. This first programme investigates movement. Dr von Hagens dissects a man he knew, removing the skin in a single piece to enable a demonstration of muscle movement. Then the skull is opened and the spinal cord and sciatic nerve removed in a single piece. Lesson 2: Circulation (Part 2 of 4). Anatomist Dr Gunther von Hagens and pathologist Professor John Lee continue their exploration of the human body. Respiration and circulation are the subjects of this programme's dissection as von Hagens demonstrates the inflation and deflation of the lungs, as well as the flow of blood through the vascular system. (Subtitles) Lesson 3: Digestion. Dr Gunther von Hagens and pathologist Professor John Lee reveal the science and beauty of the human body in a series of filmed dissections. Focusing on the digestive system, von Hagens removes the entire abdominal block from a woman's body and demonstrates the passage of a mouthful of food through the seven metres of the digestive tract. (Subtitles) Lesson 4: Reproduction The final programme in which Dr Gunther von Hagens and Professor John Lee reveal the science of the human body by means of dissection. On this occasion male and female bodies are examined as the anatomists expose the wonders of the human reproductive system in graphic detail. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

About a month ago Channel 4 here in the UK had a week long series called Anatomy for Beginners where Dr. Gunther von Hagens performed a different dissection every night. He covered the digestive, movement, circulation and reproductive systems. It was absolutely fascinating seeing how the body works from that perspective. Much has been learnt about the human body from his work, no question about it. If you manage to get hold of a copy of this series, guys I'd just warn you about the dissection of the bolllocks, it's enough to make any guy curl up in a ball and feel sick!! No problems watching the female dissection though. I read that he now has over 6000 living people that have donated their bodies to him when they die. I don't understand people who are against it, so much has been learnt from his work, i'm sure they wouldn't be so against it if something learnt from his dissections helped to save one of their loved ones lives. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Anyone in here ever hear of a thing called innocent until proven guilty?? Ahh what's the point.....oh look, there's a band wagon everyone!!! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I dunno man, it wasn't a nice one! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Hahaha i'm converted! Unless you work in the fashion industry! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Pah, that's nothing. Now this is impressive! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Likewise, I refuse to live my life in that way. A life lived in fear and all that. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Too right. I'm just reading his journals now, even just trying to imagine some of the emotions he must have been through is incredible. It's going to make one hell of a book when he gets back. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......
