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.)
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.
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.
Oh, wow.
Niiiiice.
Wow. Phoenix made it down safe! It's so ... wow.
My vocabulary is just gone, these days. My only remaining adjectives are basically "awesome" and "sucky".
Very awesome
Indeed!
