Well, dunno if that was an achievement, but... As a baby, I was diagnosed with amyotrophia and was expected to die before reaching my 12th birthday. Well, I'm still alive and kickin'.

I assume it was a wrong diagnosis, of course, but still.

I jumped off a bike to see if I could land on my feet.
Me vs The law of physics.

I won.:D

Actually if you'd have beaten the laws of Physics, you'd have jumped off the bike and not landed... you just handled the laws of Physics in a controlled fashion.





Umm, best I got is driving round the whole edge of mainland Great Britain in 2 weeks.

I never tried it but I want to...

Form the "Resistance Against Ponies And Anime" group and actually have people join it.

I would join it. :D

And in theme with the jumping off a bike thing, I once locked up both wheels coming down a gravel hill at full speed, jumped over the handlebars as the bike fell over and landed it. :D

Wait.... how did you get run over by an ocean-going vehicle? Were you in the water at the time? Or on the road?

The short story: never sit on the bow when a prankster is sitting in the captains chair, the rest I will tell you over a bottle of whisky, as reliving the event is disturbing.

I've had four open brain surgeries, all for blunt force traumas. I was supposed to never appreciate art, music, so math etc... But I play three instruments, own an art gallery and have two college degrees. One in structural engineering. I'm indestructable.

That's impressive. Aaaah the power of suggestion.
 
I am able to lock threads when it's filled with blatant lies.
 
I went 39.7 mph on my bike! I could've hit 40, but the hill I went down didn't have 4 way stops:crazy:


I'll try to get a pic of my tiny bike computer soon (as proof, obviously)
 
Back when I was in the Army, I fixed night vision equipment and some other electronics. Occasionally, other units would bring in their broken night vision goggles in a foot locker (a trunk similar to this) and since the NVGs they'd send in are small, you could fit 30 or 40 of them into the foot locker.

My 'truly amazing feat' was 'same-day service.' If the parts to repair the broken equipment were on hand (they usually were) I'd have no problem getting them all fixed before leaving the shop for the day; if the box of broken NVGs was in at the start of the day, I could have them all fixed before lunch.

That's pretty awesome actually. I'm such a noob when it comes to tech, damned...
 


I've rode down this road on a Bicycle before. Going 45mph+ at times, no brakes, minimal protection, and lived to tell about it.

Must be hard to find shoes that fit.

I bet so. What size shoes do you wear Peter? I wear a 14 (American), and I'm 6'6" as I said. Although I know a couple guys with bigger feet than me. I went to every store in town for shoes last week, and in total they had two pairs of Nikes and Sanuks combined. Looks like I'm going to Zappos.. :lol:

If you where there with me, you would agree with me.

No I wouldn't. Many better ways to go about that and laughing that they lost their jobs just further proves my point.

Wasn't talking about my shoes :sly:


I wear size 14, but i'd fit into a 12 1/2, but 12 1/2's aren't wide enough.

Well played my friend :). And same here, I wear different sizes. My basketball shoes (who would have guessed that I, of all people, would play basketball? :lol:) are size 14, my Sanuks are 13 (tight, but that's all they had), my Air Maxes are 14, and my cleats are 13.
