3. daveintexas - January 11, 2008: pretty cool, yeah
4. Shtetl G - January 11, 2008: Wow, Amazingly stupid!
5. lauraw - January 11, 2008: WOW
6. spongeworthy - January 11, 2008: How can their arms be strong enough to hold up to the wind resistance?
7. Dave in Texas - January 11, 2008: They have super-retard strength.
8. MATT DAMON! - January 11, 2008: RETARD STRENGTH!!
9. sherlock - January 11, 2008: Wonder what their glide ratio is? I used to own a glider that could do 40 to 1, and that’s considered pretty pedestrian today. I suspect these guys are lucky to get 1 to 1. In other words, they could go forward one foot for every foot they dropped. Still pretty wild!
10. skinbad - January 11, 2008: I’d drop faster than 1 to 1. The load in my pants would affect the aerodynamics.
11. Pupster - January 11, 2008: Good news: This post is in Ace’s Headline Sidebar, congrats Skinbad!

Bad news: It’s attributed to Sobek, congrats Sobek!
12. skinbad - January 11, 2008: He doesn’t need ME. And I don’t need HIM!

Harrumph!
13. Dave in Texas - January 11, 2008: oh shit

You Ring We Spring bail bonds.

16. Sobek - January 11, 2008: “sorry bout dat. is fixed.”

Crap. That made my day.

Published author with 10 million books in print says she didn’t know she was supposed to credit sources for material she copied.

Well, I credited a source.
18. skinbad - January 11, 2008: A lot of creative juices went into linking this video. I’m certainly relieved that justice has been done. Although,

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED!

Or so I’ve heard.
19. Judge Smails - January 11, 2008: You’ll get nothing, and you’ll like it!
20. Russ from Winterset - January 11, 2008: “She usually writes about American Indians, but has also written about pirates and the Civil War.”

Wow, that’s a pretty sweet gig. How about a romance novel featuring a Navaho pirate, set in 1862 Charleston?
21. lauraw - January 11, 2008: Rats, I was gonna main-page it tonight at ace’s
22. lauraw - January 11, 2008: I still can, nevermind.
23. Judge Smails - January 11, 2008: yeah, go for it. I was busy.

and I’m not funny.
24. Dave in Texas - January 11, 2008: I am careless though.
25. geoff - January 11, 2008: Wasn’t this up at The Hostages a month ago?
26. skinbad - January 11, 2008: Could have been. A friend emailed it to me. Bart probably linked it in the Eternal Thread as well.
27. Michael - January 11, 2008: Cool.

I think The Hostages had a different video of this sport. The geography was much different.
28. daveintexas - January 11, 2008: it was in Oki
29. Michael - January 11, 2008: You’re right, Dave. They were jumping in Oki, and breaking bitches afterwards.
30. Terry - January 12, 2008: Paging Dr. Darwin… please pick up the white courtesy phone….
31. evilconcarne - January 19, 2008: freaking awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
