"Another Plan Doomed To Failure"

If this guy succeeds, I will eat my hat.

my claim was that i had blind faith in him and that if he did it, i would only nibble my hat. theres a bit of drool on it now and i had to use mouthwash to get rid of the sweat taste. i did garnish it with parsley though...

I believe the best way to serve hat is with a light red pesto, on a toasted ciabatta drizzled with a basil infused olive oil.

did you enjoy your hat?

well... he did it.

Surely if he went high enough he could easily go further than that.

Plus his parachute will glide him a fair distance if needs be.

This is crap.

If he only has one wing, surely he'll just go round in a circle.

Heh, good point.

rofflepimp r0xor!

"The 34-year-old said he was confident he would become the first person to fly unassisted across the Channel.

Mr Baumgartner will wear an aerodynamic jumpsuit with a 6ft carbon wing attached to it."

'Unassisted'...
'6ft carbon wing'...

hmmm....

It should work, skydivers can use jump suits based on flying squirrels to achieve that sort of thing.

I saw something about this on tv ages ago. that means it's true because TV wouldn't lie to me. Do it Doug!
