    This guy is now dead I believe. Oddly enough he didn't die falling off the rock though he died bungie-jumping or sky-diving or something. He was on a show called Maximum Exposure in the states and they had clips of him climbing stuff and almost falling off. Pretty cool but like you said, "fear-illiterate":) ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                              There are ads for porn sites there (soft/hard porn doesn't matter, still porn either way) and some organisations would consider them inappropriate... hence some non-work-safe ads there. Still... damn cool video. Human spiderman is what came to mind there too. Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, order^ it today!

                                    What bothers me more is the porn itself. We live in a sex-obsessed culture, man. That isn't to say sex is evil, as some religious people seem to imply, but I personally believe that porn often leads to unhealthy lifestyles, especially for men. I think Jesus was right on when he said[^], "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Anyways...better to post at least a fore-warning if a site has porn on it, especially when most the people browsing this site are at work. By the way, did you make it to the HDC?

                                      Nah, stumbling on naughty sites at work is half the adventure! ;P I do agree with you though, it is sad that so many sites are obviously sucessful with the whole, "meet hot chicks in your area" thing. ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                                        Especially as those "hot chicks" aren't really even in your area. After seeing the three "hotties" from just up the road in the SF Bay Area, just out of interest (technical interest, not personal ;) ), I refreshed the page after connecting through a German proxy. Magically one of the three Bay Area "hot chicks" had now got a new name and moved to Lichtenstein! :) Steve T
