There's no way they could do the hand bike! And whatnot.

See that handbike thing is killer. I would make a token effort, then drop down and climb up. You don't lose any points for doing that, and it's such a huge expenditure of energy to try and fail.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What, are you INSANE?

No, a TRUE WARRIOR. (Yikes!)

Although, they've made it slower to get back up with the ball pit. Last season, I thought some people actually made up time dropping off the handbike.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

On the old show, the Gladiators used to be waiting at the bottom to enforce a time penalty for people who fell.

(Is this the most ridiculous thing I'm slightly geeky about? Hmm.)

That makes more sense. I mean, if there's no penalty for falling off the handbike, what's the point? It's not like it's faster.

Oh, that would be better.

ION, I've had a sore throat all day and have been coughing some. I'm going to be PISSED if this is a cold and not allergies or something.

uh oh. sounds kind of like what i have and i'm fairly certain it's a cold because i've been running a fever on and off.

I thought i remembered something like that, but it's been so long since i'd seen it i couldn't be sure. the handbike thing is just insane. i couldn't do that if someone was chasing me with a chainsaw wanting to hack me into itty bitty bits.

Bah! I will keep my fingers crossed. And I guess I should have gone to bed early, but ehn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How awesome is this?

Phoenix lander in descent, shot by the Mars Orbiter

See that thing in this image that looks like a Martian vehicle descending by parachute to the surface of Mars? That's the Phoenix lander, captured in mid-drop, still glowing from entry into the atmosphere, by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Very awesome.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oh, wow.
