    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Hope he doesn't doze off during free fall.

    Isn't terminal velocity for a person something like only 220 mph?

    At sea level- approx 30K feet Terminal Velocity is approx 200 mph (90 m/s). As altitude increases and the air is less dense, then a higher TV can be reached. Joe Kittinger hit 618 mph on his jump in '60.

    Youtube just went live...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
