Absolutely! He is sharing the road with people driving large heavy vehicles and who have no idea that he is overtaking them. The idiot is one lane-change from death.

Bad enough that he risked his own life, but he risked the lives of others. Had he wiped out that bike could have easily gone into another vehicle or if it went airborne into oncoming traffic. :mad:

If people want to go fast, go onto a race track where it is designed for speed.

There is another side to this. A college buddy named Rick was once the victim of a suicide - someone else committed suicide by jumping in front of his car. Unfortunately, the fact that it was suicide didn't help much. Rick never did come to terms with the images imprinted on his mind. It pretty much screwed him up for life.

... which seems odd to me; death seems pretty natural. Hope I'm not being insensitive.

For someone who have lived a long life. Certainly death is inevitable for all. However, to see someone commit suicide or to watch someone make a bad decision resulting in death can be traumatizing. I know of some locomotive engineers whose trains crashed into cars killing the occupants. They were helpless to stop the train because of the inertia. Some people apparently just froze in panic, and didn't try to escape, just before the train hit. Those guys were pretty devastated, but they still went back to work after some time off.

It was a very ugly scene and there was nothing natural about it. Anyway, not to derail the thread too much, did anyone else like the Flying Car cartoon in the Jet group? That cracked me up! It sounds so much like a typical HS nerd conversation...

Since we're on this morbid subject, I'll point out that, versus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider_(stunts) , there is simply no contest.

Ghost Rider is the name of a motorcycle stunt rider (or a group of riders, depending on sources), based in Stockholm, Sweden. He stars in a number of motorcycle movies comprising journeys through uncontrolled and unstaged roads and highways at obviously highly illegal speeds. One of the most notorious of these journeys is the "Uppsala Run" in Ghost Rider: The Final Ride, 2002. This trip covers 68 km of continuous travel from Stockholm to Uppsala in less than 15 minutes (this equates to an average speed 270 km/h (168 mph) over the period) on standard traffic laden highways.

According to wikipedia, he's a stunt driver who beat the world wheelie speed record, and who died in 2005, it is absolutely no wonder.

Here's his http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6432111827800320245&q=ghost+rider .

but will anyone actually feel sorry for him?

I think this one surely classifies as a classic!

I think I got this off of here, but anyway, it deserves a rerun, sorry if someones already put it up, it's just excellent.

Oh and this is quite entertaining too.



Obviously staged but it's still pretty impresive.

Tai Jitsu is ninjitsu's martial art, as you can see, a lot of the moves are intended to break limbs or even blind or kill. Which is probably why you won't see it on extreme fighting, in fact the most deadly types don't even fight amongst themselves for sport, Tai jitsu in most forms is free form, whatever works works. The FSM approves :smile:

The fight sequences in the Borne identity are a sort of Tai jitsu, in fact there completely free form.

Tai jitsu is used by many covert agencies.

EDIT: just like in the movies :smile:

Tony vs Paul reminded me of a 1967 short called "Vicious Cycles". Imagine my surprise to find that someone had posted it on YouTube. I wonder if it is a copyright violation.



Thats awesome! :smile:

Jan Smithers was the most beautiful woman on television, and WKRP's major draw. Loni Anderson was a running joke.

Since it technically belongs here anyway.



Oh and this classic from Monty Python should not be missed.:wink: no it's not the wink wink sketch or the dead parrot, something a bit different.



this is the nudge nudge :wink::wink: sketch :biggrin:

Written by Eric aged eight and a half.

Heres a clip of a man that has the honour of being called the best stand up comedian in the UK. This is a 10 minute section from his 90's comedian set.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtBQhrFhock"

You perhaps have to know who Joe Pasquale is.

Also the following is from his stand up comedian set. (warning there is a swear word in there if you're easily offended)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltT9dMGiFjI"

And finally a sketch from Fist of Fun (I think) in the mid nineties by Stewart Lee.



Hope you enjoy :smile:

He's great. And Pluto is a planet con sarn it!

Lee is excellent seen him a few times before.





Jack Dee is also great value for money live also.



Shame his best stuff isn't here.

Here's another good comedian appearing as the warm up act in Jacks show, and you thought Ahmadinejad was the only good Iranian comedian :smile:



This guy is superb also.



Cake: just say no.



Not for the easilly offended.



Part 2. Again if your easilly offended do not watch it.



Part 3: really not for the feint of heart.



Just a little addition.

:smile: I love Chris Morris I have all his DVD's. Brass eye, Jam, Nathan Barley, and The Day Today. Charlie Brooker who co-wrote Nathan Barley is also hilarious. Does a television review program on BBC four called Screenwipe which is an extension of his Guardian Screenburn column.

There was a comedy on recently on BBC 2 by two Radio 4 comedians, I don't suppose you remember their names? They were very good?

As for Charlie Brooker: shame he had to go get a respectable job, that spoof site is absolutely hilarious, he mercilessly mocks everyone.



Good comedy also: Armstrong and Miller, if you've seen Inspector Morse, this is really funny.

i don't go on you tube but my friend showed me this clip on 'soccer' or football on you tube.
type in 'soccer comedy' in youtube and watch the clip that is 5mins and 38 secs (i think) it should be the first one, it starts with a referee

'Sara, are you too young to visit Youtube?'

what makes you say that?
 
  • #87
Well I'm wondering why you don't go there. I thought perhaps you were disallowed on account of being too young.
 
  • #88
good reason, but no i have very bad connection these days and it may take a couple of days before the clip downloads
to top that up, I am very tired and really not bothered to do anything, i think i ought to tidy my room and sleep
i'll try to put up a link tomorrow after i complain to daddy :)

He makes it look so easy, like he could do it any time as well, trust me to do anything even close to that is bloody hard and probably for the average mortal impossible.

I like the finish - just passed it into the top corner; most would've gone for the blast.

Deep Space 2


Outer Space Track 01


Outer Space Track 02


I found this last one - a narration with Pink Floyd in the background (from Wish You Were Here). The narrator makes the comment that the universe is 78 billion ly across, although toward the end of the narration, he seems to infer that the distance from Earth to HUDF galaxies is 78 billion ly. Is this distance accepted by the community of cosmologists?

He makes another stretch with a comment that each star in the HUDF galaxies has the possibility of having planets (and of course with civilizations).

The Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken (warning - contains a clip of Gary - Numa numa guy).


So I look at other sources, but I can't readily find a distance.

Watching some of these reminded me of the first Hubble shot that I ever downloaded. It took over two hours on a long distance call. :biggrin:
