And exactly what part of what they say in the movies isn't as much fun? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Those of you who were born in 1980 probably don't remember when Elvis was dead and Michael Jackson was black. It was an exciting, magical time. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

You've probably seen some of these before, but the picture of Brooke Shields alone is worth opening the attachment. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

And I believe that is tax-free, too, isn't it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

It could be worse. You could be blonde and your sign could be Ultress. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

There certainly are! They're very short and right under the pictures. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Call me Blisken. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Interesting spin. I would have expected another take considering who William Safire is and for whom he wrote. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside, 'round the outside, 'round the outside. Without Me, Eminem Trailer park girls just don't get the respect they deserve elsewhere. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Something I have seen which is similar is TM's who don't do anything but tandems. No more students? Time to go home. I was at a DZ for almost three years and saw some TM's who never did a fun jump. It was just a job. Turn it on for the video, turn it off when the red light is extinguished. Kinda sad really. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Not unless you wore the special sneakers. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

...and why in a half an hour you want more? Half Hungarian, half Romanian. I think that officially makes me Transylvanian, but no one talks about it at family reunions. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Some of the people with whom I jump pretend they can skydive, so the answer to that question would be about three points. But they'd probably say it was my fault, anyway. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Spent 6 & 1/2 years in the Army; Airborne, Ranger, Corps of Engineers, Aviator, 25th ID. Had enough of sleeping in the mud and left. 19 years in the Coast Guard flying SAR, et al until I switched over to the dark-side; armed interdiction helicopters. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

For good NY pizza, go to Johnny's on Bleeker; wood fired. If you are at Union Square, check out Heartland Brew Pub, also on the square. Right around the corner is McSorley's Pub, oldest pub in the city. They only serve two kinds of beer, light and dark. It's their own brew. Take some time to read the walls. Incredible. If you have time around 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon, check out Jeremy's Ale House under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge. A lot of traders from Wall Street end up there. It's like a frat party with former millionaires. From there you can walk to Chinatown or little Italy, unless the city worries you. A taxi would be relatively cheap. If you go uptown, there is a pub on the upper east side called Kinsales, that is very friendly and pours a nice pint. If you want to see a bar which does not stray much from the one in Coyote Ugly, check out Hogs and Heiffers. It's in the meat packing district. Insert your own joke here. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Naaah, just newer. Semper Birthdaus, Marines. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Actually, we are a true dysfunctional cyber family, and we have quite a few cousins about whom we don't like to speak. BTW, what the hell are you talking about anyway? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Why does guesswork always get such a bad rap? I went scientific this year, I voted for all the women running for the BOD, Max Cohn to show my diversity (I don't freefly much), and the guys who had the most jumps in the last year. Oh yeah, and for Richard Schachner, because he gave me a pull-up cord. I feel like such a vote-slut. And yet, I can live with that. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

What does mean? I wouldn't even know to what to compare that. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Both I and Yahoo must agree with you, my brother. If I had to put a date on it, I say 30 March. Very insightful perspective btw; you must have attended a first rate undergraduate institute. Let's hope Saddam gets his intel from Yahoo, too, so he can, if he desires, avoid a confrontation. Oh, yeah, Beat Navy.

I pet stray dogs, sit two inches from the TV screen, go swimming 27 or 28 minutes after eating, and sometimes expect past behavior to be indicative of future performance. Thanks all for the 1500 foot gouge. What the hell was I thinking? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

A few months ago they said they had OBL targeted in a vehicle with a UAV, but a CIA lawyer (And if those two terms together don't scare you, then you don't understand either one of them.) refused to give them the go-ahead to roll hot. To quote Jakob Dylan's father, the greatest of protesters, "These times they are a changing". Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

What's the flatline on a Timeout? I've only done that once. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Learned to jump with the Trojan Sport Parachute Club at Fort Devens, MA. Then, the Army supported us by giving us a Huey for one fuel load once a month. Not wanting to stay too long, the pilots would give us one sortie, but not shut down between loads. There was usually only about 10 or so jumping and we wanted to maximize our number of jumps. To do this, we would pack club rigs in addition to our own. In that way, we could get three or four jumps. I remember going to the club one Wednesday of the week for our monthly Huey and packing one of the club PC's for me. The last step was placing the ripcord in the harness pocket. When I got to that point, I realized that the elastic around the pocket was stretched so many times, that it would not hold the ripcord. Being innovative, I put the ripcord in the pocket, and picked up a roll of masking tape. I wasn't too worried since it was government masking tape and not that strong. Of course to compensate, I used two wraps of it around the harness and through the handle, basically ensuring it wouldn't come out. Because it was a military drop zone (Turner DZ, if anyone remembers), we had to go through a JM equipment inspection. When he came to me, he looked at the tape and asked if I really thought it was good idea. I told him it was better than having the ripcord floating free. He agreed and sent me off toward the helo. Climbed to altitude (7500 was all we got back then), spotted and went out. Got to 2500 feet and pulled. The tape tore easily and the parachute deployed. Never had any doubts. Things were different back then. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Truly the good die young. Blue Skies, Black Kettle. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
