I felt the very last heartbeat of my step-father while holding his arm, on his death bed. He died peacefully at 98 years of age.

I crossed the Gulfstream on my sailboat. Twice.

Failure is part of the growing process. The probabilities of your first company being sucessfull is very slim. But a failure helps you with the next company you create.

Source: started 15 different companies and 2 worked out. But they really worked out.

Big fight in a local downtown McDonald’s. Someone films a few seconds of it and a split second of the end of the video shows a guy pulling a raccoon out of his trench-coat. Makes the news worldwide.

It will be as long as you only go spinwards or counter-spinwards. Changing your direction rapidly in the direction of aft or forward will knock you to the ground. Going counter-spinwards will decrease your “weight” and vice-versa. So at certain speeds with a BMX it could be quite dangerous. I don’t see humans using anything else than tube trains to move around.
