If by "bottom step" you mean the ground then yes, I would concur.

(EDIT: just kidding Evo :smile:)

I can see where the tailfeathers could be a problem as well.

Also, never cook bacon when you're naked.

I was at the veterinarian's office, holding my sick cat, when the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisqually_Earthquake" hit. When it hit, the examination room door sprung open, as doors often do during earthquakes. This particular vet is for cats only, so the place was full of cats. Cats running everywhere, cats running into walls, cats running into each other. Complete mayhem!

So there was no way I was going to let go of Sweet Miss Phoebe.

Well, it turns out that holding a sick cat during an earthquake virtually guarantees you'll be shredded...a very dangerous task, indeed. I was holding her on my shoulder; she shredded my upper back.

But all is forgiven; I love my kitty so much :!)!

You should always carry a bag to put the cat in just before an earthquake. :wink:

Try watching the first jump in the following video. To see a different angle, scroll it too 1:17 or so. Insane.

The following also I would never do. He does the biggest stair gap I've ever seen... and without a helmet.

I would never fail a physics test because of the immense danger to my ego.

Can I choose all of the above? Hmmm...except for eating habaneros. I think I'll keep doing that one.
