Don't really see the point in doing this but that being said, Felix Baumgartner has got balls by the size of Jupiter.

Dug it. Thanks for the link! Think he came up short on the free fall record though! Time wise. He definitely had the highest jump. 128k ft before he stepped off.

Apparently he found Chris Waddles 1990 semi final penalty ball up there.

It was exciting, but stole 3 hrs from my writing today!

I got a little worried when he started spinning. Glad it all went well and can't wait to see the helmet cam footage! 8)

I thought this was going to be about marriage for some reason as in "making the jump." ;D

Just watched a few snippets of it - impressive!

I'm being taunted by someone who just referenced a likeness between "Myleene Klass' personal problems " and a script on SS. :o What is the world coming to...

And I'm a typical Brit, who doesn't have a clue what year it is, let alone day! ;D

You deserve worse! Next you'll be finding a connection between Peter Andre (typical Aussie) and a script! ;D And isn't it past your bedtime or did the wife kick you out of bed again! ;D

Now, I'm off to do some work and I don't mean the OWC. :)
