I received three medals when I was in grad school. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I'm surprised you didn't move in next to a packer. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

:20 Minute Workout Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Congrats. That is an accomplishment which can never be taken away from you. What was the title of your thesis and how long did you work on it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I asked myself why I even open threads like this. Then I determined that although I would jump with everyone here, these threads help me decide with whom I would want to quaff a cold one afterwards. So far I bought beer for three moderators and I think I am pretty much at my limit. I will be retiring from the military in the next five years. I will be very happy it says Bush on my certificate and not Clinton. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Dull. Too much blue. You need some contrasting colors like plaid or madras. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I'm thinking a nice $400 LV key chain ought to be just the counseling for this type of problem. If you are aware of any good "Coach" handbag counselors, let me know. I'm sure that's just what my wife needs. BTW, does Lou know you're not showing the correct level of reverance by not capitalizing his name? My god man, it's Louis Vuitton we're talking about here! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Did you get it on video? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I don't remember doing it, but it sure sounds like one of my landings. Does it say anything about hitting my head? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Exactly what are the requirements for the "Grateful Wanker of the Year" Award, cuz I might be in the running for that. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Also saw these two out there. The NY one was on a Porsche. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
-
How about this? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I know exactly how you feel. Never an errant milk truck or rogue meteor when you need one, is there? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Actually received this in an Email with several others showing what the Brits do for fun when they are flying around the sandbox. Saved this one because it was the best. Also showed a picture of a small foreign car with a crease in the roof. Seems some of the pilots knew one of their mates was driving from somewhere to somewhere-else and did a low pass on him. Needless to say, one of them got too low. The Email said that pilot was sent home the next week shrouded in shame. Checked on Snopes and couldn't find it there, but quien sabe. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

They actually found a food which, when eaten, reduces a woman's sex drive. It's called wedding cake. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Here's one of your boys making a low pass. I admire his style. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

a.k.a. the nude beach, or at least it has been I think it's Mokuleia They had the same thing happen there once when they were doing water training at the beach. Other than tell the police, not a lot you can do. Might offer a reward at the DZ to contact them if they hear anything. Highly doubtful anyone out there will jump it if it is known to be stolen. Had a friend cutaway out there and get reimbursed a portion from his home owners insurance. His canopy turned up about a year later. Some guy found it and threw it in his garage because he didn't know what else to do with it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Canopy Progression - the Pro's way
flyhi replied to garywainwright's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Interestingly, I believe the last Parachutist or Skydiving (can't remember which) said he was flying (and placing with) a VX111. Upsizing in the pro ranks? Whodathunkit? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Will there be a [Blue]"What the Hell Was That?" category? If so, I'm in. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Any amplifying info on that? Construction or material problem? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Was just wondering, when was the last time the GK did not win either the 4-way or 8-way at nationals? Think there will be any "fallout" over that? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Oops! I used 9.4 instead of 9.8m/sec. I concur. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Average velocity is a tricky term here. I used an interval equal to the distance from 2. I agree the velocity equation is v(t) = -9.8 * t . Using an Excel spread sheet, I found V avg (2.1) = -(19.27+20.21)/2 = -19.74m/sec V avg (2.01) = -(18.847+18.941)/2 = -18.894 m/sec V avg(2.001) = -(18.8047+18.8141)/2 = -18.8094 m/sec V avg (2.001) = -(18.80047+18.80141) = -18.80094 m/sec I would estimate from that, that her velocity at v(2) would be -18.8 m/sec as we insert more and more zeros into the equation. That is also the velocity we calculate. Her speed would be 18.8 m/sec. Velocity requires position. Speed does not. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I would have to go with the RCMH show. You know it will never go on the road. To see it, you have to be there. Saw Rent twice. Very good. I'm sure you know Rent is the late Jonathan Larson's version of Puccini's La Boheme. So it would be like seeing an opera and a play at the same time. Might be a little dated now. Whoever plays Angel makes or breaks the show. I know nothing about this guy. Have you thought about seeing Stomp or Blue Man Group? They're pretty good, too. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Nice things, Nicole. You had us at "Arch". Wanted to add, you can learn more about canopy piloting over two beers on a Sunday morning than by screwing up 50 jumps on your own. Thanks boy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
