  1. While unlikely, it does seem possible if he was somehow working underneath it and had the trigger somehow locked in the "fire" position. As soon as it hit his head once, the recoil could be sufficient to make it bounce several times, each time firing a nail when the safety on the business end impacted his skull.

  2. The standard deviations on that must be crazy! My girlfriend and her sister both have fairly new Porsches. One is them 35 years old, the other is 37. Neither of them are male , nor are either of them married. Both household incomes are close to 50% off that median. They are both college graduates though, so at least they fit the demographic on that one. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Obvious? I must be in dense mode today, because I can't tell the difference. Edit to add: OK, got it. The little checkmark thing. I was thinking of threads previously posted to, not subsequently posted to. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. Yep. Cardinals (ending with the letter "s") was the official nickname from 1972 to 1981, but that also referred to the color, not the bird. More information here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. "Cardinal" is one of the school's colors (initially the only one, but now joined by white). Additionally, she was talking about school *mascots*, which is something Stanford doesn't have. The Tree they have dancing around is a member of the band representing the city of Palo Alto. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  7. Along the same lines, it was totally unbelievable that the French could be tailed for hours on end without ever noticing the big ship slowly closing in on their stern. Still, overall I thought it was an OK movie, even on the better side of average, just not great. I did however watch what I thought was a very good movie Monday night. "Big Fish". Tim Burton does some wierd stuff, but I have to appreciate a filmmaker who can have me engrossed in a story even when I'm not sure *why* it's interesting.

  8. No kidding. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me because that picture seriously fucked with my eyes. I'm glad to see it did the same thing to at least one other person! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  11. To cover a spot on a bench if you choose to sit down nekkid? Of course a towel would work much better for preventing an exchange of ass matter, so I guess I have no idea :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Well, Washington wasn't on your list, so I voted for California. If it were me (which obviously you're not), my preferences would be: California Florida Colorado Arizona Texas Georgia Illinois New York Massachusetts Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. I thought it was pretty funny...and only a little gross. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  15. We built a new house a couple years ago that puts me 4.5 miles away from the DZ. In the last 6 years, I haven't lived more than 5 miles away, and at one point lived about a half mile away. Also, for the last 10 years I've worked within a few miles of the dz...close enough to occasionally run over & make a quick jump during my lunch break. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  17. You have to spin around and then look up. There are a couple different angles you can look at the light from and the paper is only visible from one angle. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. Of course they will. First of all Rumsfeld is in charge of Homeland Security (I still don't like that phrase) So he is not responsible for the actions our soldiers take in a far away land. No, Rumsfeld is the Secretary of Defense. Tom Ridge is in charge of Homeland Security. I was pretty much kidding "on the square." I do not currently have any reason to believe that Bush had prior knowledge of these crimes. Still, he IS accountable, the question is only to what degree. I had a problem with the way he's passed off the lack of WMDs by saying it was an intelligence failure and not his fault. Those people work for him. When he decided to take us into war based on that information, he became accountable as well, just not according to his supporters. For some reason the buck stops at Tenet and I don't get that. Anyhow, point taken and mostly agreed. I don't think we should be calling for Bush's impeachment over this or anything, but by the same token I don't agree with the folks saying he can't be held responsible for the actions of those who work at his direction.

  19. Not just the Army brass. According to this article, Scott McClellan said that Bush has known about it for a while as well. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Well, not ALL the way. You can rest assured Rumsfeld and Bush will be properly shielded. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. I answered this one here. You have to "About Item" on the piece of paper with hair on it first. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  23. There's one on the light, one on the wall up by the ceiling, one under the rotting meat, one under the slippers, one in between the brown pillows, and one on the same shelf as the incense. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. I've been fortunate to only lose two skydiving friends in 9 years, one to a car wreck, one to skydiving. I've known others who've died, but they were more 'friendly acquaintances' than 'friends'. A few of them were to skydiving, and one of them was to what seems to be the second biggest killer of skydivers...suicide. Of all the skydivers I've jumped with in the last 9 years, I can only think of one who has died from "old age" (a heart attack during his retirement cruise).

  25. I got it after you pointed out the pictures were a red herring. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
