looks like Saskatchewan is famous (or will be)

Check this article out. Looks like some wacko ex-army guy from France is gonna jump out of a balloon from 40,000 metres up. And he's gonna do it over Saskatchewan.

Sask. is allready famous for other things like our "beer".
Just ask Pooga.

That was an interesting article. Do you think he will survive? I think the parachute will break, maybe his second one will work, but that pretty fast.. I would like to watch it

SPLATT! That'll be uglier than a 'hopper on the windshield of my truck…

I read a story on Kittinger (the guy who holds the current record). Quite remarkable actually.

The US Air Force did all kinds of strange experiments in the 50s and 60s. Another example was testing pilots to see how much heat they could endure. I believe that the record was about 450F. Of course this was done with a relative humidity of next to nothing. Shocking when you consider that steak cooks at 350F!

I will see if he accepts donations (stamped, of course).

If we could come up with $500.00 between us, maybe he'll stencil the URL across the front of his helmet ;)

I'm sure he'll get lots of corporate sponsors eventually.

Mark me down for $20.00. Stamped of course!
