Jumping out of an aeroplane

[mcbishop]

No, not me, but I know a bloke who is going to jump out of one next to, and at the same height as, Mt Everest. He will have a parachute but won't open it for a couple of minutes - yes, he's a skydiver. He is doing it for charity (the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy), so if you are feeling generous (and hugely glad that it is not you doing it), please visit his webpage and make a donation for this worthwhile cause and help show him that this piece of inspired daftness is worthwhile.

I only ever put on a parachute on the firm understanding that I do not intend using it.
