You're two letters away from something that most people enjoy and one letter away from something that most people really enjoy. So which is it? -- Brian

It was really funny. Jason accidentally left the wind tee locked in a direction that happened to be pointing downwind. Sam did a belly slide and totally soaked her jumpsuit, Marc got dirty, Anne surfed it in. The people who stayed on their feet had to really work at running it out. Everybody got at least a little mud on them. Of course, I completely forgot that I had my digital camera with me, so there are no pictures. Another funny story: On Friday Jason had a tandem student pull at 13 grand. They landed way off and when he went to a house to get help, the guy had a shotgun. -- Brian

Did you hear what Sam did to your old jumpsuit? -- Brian

I think the guy who did Connections was James Burke. Balding English guy with big glasses? I had a history teacher who used to show us his stuff. The last I checked, he was still writing his column in Scientific American every month. He always did (or does) great stuff. -- Brian

The "history" shows on TLC and to a lesser extent on the History channel seem to be becoming increasingly speculative and sensationalistic. I watched a show the other night about supposed giants that had been found around the world. Of course they didn't ever show any real evidence, unless by evidence you mean hearsay. All of the bodies had been destroyed or lost before they could be photographed or examined by reputable scientists. At least the UFO nuts have crop circles and blurry photos. -- Brian

Are we watching Stargate a little to much? -- Brian

Now go back and edit your message. -- Brian

Here's a quick test: 1 1 = 2 That should read "one plus one equals two." And it's still there. Odd. I couldn't get the plus signs to appear when I did the math for that sex game in Talkback. Probably just my browser. BUT WAIT! I edit the post and they disappear. Could the forum be interpreting my " " (thats a plus, in case it didn't appear) as a space? -- Brian

Make the DZO who pinned the wind indicator do it for you? 0:2:1 First King Air jump. Turned into a spin-a-thon. Where did all my stability go? Second jump was way better, I managed to stay pointed in the right direction and do the fallrate changes okay. -- Brian

Check out the Straight Dope web site. Run a search for absinthe in the archives. From what I gathered, it's psychoactive and can cause grand mal seizures. I personally wouldn't screw around with it. -- Brian

And for anybody who is interested, Dave currently has a 6.1 on http://hotornot.com. You can find his pic here -- Brian

Wrong. Sort of. Instead of 1752 and 1751, use the year minus 250 and the year minus 251, respectively. So it will work until the end of time. -- Brian

s = how often you want sex a = year of birth x = final number (((s * 2) 5) * 50) 1751 - a = x Assuming you haven't had your birthday this year. ((s * 2) 5) * 50 = x a - 1751 50(s * 2) 250 = x a - 1751 50(s * 2) = x a - 2001 Uh oh! That 2001 looks a little suspicious. 100s = x a - 2001 100s * (2001 - a) = x And there we have it. Since s is the number of times per day you want to get it on, multiplying by 100 moves it to the hundreds column. (2001 - a): Take the year of your last birthday, minus the year of you first birthday and you get.... Your age of course. Add them both up and (assuming you are less than 100 years old), the result is a three digit number with how much sex per week you want in the hundreds column, followed by your age. Note: For some reason, all of the plus signs disappeared from the algebra. You can probably guess where they go. -- Brian

Right Guard Sport? -- Brian

That's the one.

I don't know about whistling, but in all of the pictures I've seen certain parts turn, umm, concave. -- Brian

I had an early Explorer. It worked great for almost a year, then it would just go crazy every once in a while. The cursor would jump all over the screen and click on everything. When I took the PS/2 adapter off and plugged it into a USB port, it would just freeze for a few seconds instead of going nuts. Now I have an optical Logitech Wheel Mouse. It is much smaller than the Explorer and only has two buttons and the wheel, but it costs half as much and works great. -- Brian

You can use something like a Pro Track, which is an electronic audible altimeter and freefall recorder, or you can guesstimate based on exit altitude, opening altitude, and flying style. -- Brian

Sorry Dave. -- Brian

I've got nothing. I even dusted off my Wacom tablet out in anticipation, but I can't think of anything funny to do. The standard Fark cliches wouldn't make any sense in there and I can't figure out how anything skydiving related into the scene. -- Brian

Domo Kun! Now you need to add the screaming beauty queen, the kitty, the kid on the bike, the mud puddle jumper, and all of the other cliches that pop up. -- Brian

Two blondes are walking through the forest when they come upon a set of tracks. The first blond says, "They're deer tracks!" The second blonde says, "No, those are racoon tracks!" Eventually they get into a heated argument about the source of the tracks, and are yelling so loud that they don't hear the freight train before it runs them over. -- Brian

Raised Methodist. Had to go to church almost every Sunday until Confirmation, after which my parents told me that if I didn't want to attend anymore I didn't have to. I had already spent a lot of time thinking about it, and shortly after my Confirmation I stopped attending. It's not the moral messages of Christianity, or any other religion, that I have issue with, I just do not believe in a higher power. Update to clarify: I shouldn't say I don't believe in a higher power. I don't believe that any higher power has made it's presence known to man. I believe that ultimate reality is unknown and probably unknowable. So I prefer agnosticism, even though it seems like kind of a cop-out at times. -- Brian

Somebody has great taste in technical literature.
