This guy has some really cool moves. Back when I used to do my ninja training I was much better than this, but with some practice this guy can get good too. I bet Kip would be proud of him.

Check out this “bride to be” having a bad hair day. She goes crazy and decides to cut off all of her hair. The funny part is her friends that just keep offering her champagne and laughing at her. I would love to see the reaction of the groom when he sees her hair.

And that’s the reason that people get engineering degrees and become rocket scientists. It would have been much cooler if he would have been strapped on to the thing.

This is a funny video about all the different buying and selling that goes on in the phone industry. Th funny part is that it is 100% true.

Check out these people trying to drive on this icy road. This video is a great lesson in physics.

After you are tired of spending all day doing some ninja training, it’s time to do some Old School Dance and Life training. Napoleon would be proud.

Check out this clip of an interview with Paula Abdul last week. Is she drunk or high or both? Who knows, it may just be something in the water. But I did watch American Idol tonight, and would have to say she looks sort of medicated. Of course this could all just be a media stunt to get guyes like me to watch. OH NO! it worked.

Worlds Highest Parachute Jump
on January 13th, 2007 at 3:42 amPosted In: Cool Videos, World Records
102.800 Feet Freefall at 614 mph
Captain Kittinger was then assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning “ever upward”, a name given to the project by Colonel Stapp), as part of research into high altitude bailout, he made a series of three parachute jumps wearing a pressurized suit, from a helium balloon with an open gondola.
The first, from 76,400 feet (23,287 m) in November, 1959 was a near tragedy when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness, but the automatic parachute saved him (he went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of 120 rpm, the G factor calculated at his extremities was over 22 times that of gravity, setting another record). Three weeks later he jumped again from 74,700 feet (22,769 m). For that return jump Kittinger was awarded the Leo Stevens parachute medal.
On August 16, 1960 he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m). He was in freefall for 4½ minutes and reached a maximum speed of 614 mph (988 km/h) before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, causing his hand to swell. He set records for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest freefall and fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere. [1]
According to Kittinger, he broke the speed of sound during that famous highest jump. This may be debatable, as other references give his peak speed at 614 (988 km/h)[citation needed] or 618 (994 km/h)[citation needed] miles per hour, or mach 0.9. Nevertheless, he occasionally ribs Chuck Yeager about being the first man to break the speed of sound.[citation needed]
The jumps were made in a “rocking-chair” position, descending on his back, rather than the usual delta familiar to skydivers, because he was wearing a 60-lb “kit” on his behind and his pressure suit naturally formed that shape when inflated, a shape appropriate for sitting in an airplane cockpit.
For the series of jumps, Kittinger was decorated with an oak leaf cluster to his D.F.C. and awarded the Harmon Trophy by President Dwight Eisenhower.
