    Don’t try it even though it looks easy (and it probably is) I’m sure I could clear the distance.

    Leave it to guys like Mike Powell, Bob Beamon, and Carl Lewis, or share the fate of stockbrokers and bankers alike who recently lost their shirt :eek:

    I built a model of the Brooklyn bridge when I was a little kid with Popsicle sticks and string and it actually could hold way more weight than you would think so that might actually be possible but I'd only really feel safe with a lanyard like this

    They didn't use fall protection back in 1929 when they built the Empire State building and they finished that whole building in under a year I think too! That's crazy...I wonder how many construction workers died...they just walked across and sat on those beams while they bolted and riveted it together!

    Well, he got it up mighty quick for an old mans last hard on :p

    They can't build building anywhere near the speed they did back then. Is it because they didn't have so many OSHA regulations and safety shit back then? They didn't do shitty work either cuz those buildings will be standing forever like the pyramids if no one decides they wanna blow it up.

    Yeah, and that was her main love her entire life, and she did not grow to know she wasted her whole life loving him until the end of her life....about 2 years ago. They dated as teenagers.

    Do it on a bicycle and make sure you get a video. It will go viral no matter what the outcome is...

    If I die somebody will copyright it real quick!

    Not brave enough at this time, ever see the departed when they threw the captain off the roof...he didn't make out so well.

    If I was a cat it might be a different story

    From Wikipedia
    Terminal velocity into concrete, the best I could hope for is to feel nothing on impact. Ur skull is gonna smash on the concrete no matter how u try to land.

    The Empire State Building itself was called that....Desmond Morris writes in his book about human study that tall buildings are men's erections anyway..... He writes alot of eye opening things that made me look at the world differently.

    When is somebody gonna build a skyscraper shaped like a penis? I guess that's too obscene for the conservatives.
