For today's quote, we consult that source of hilarity and genius, Douglas Adams~
"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
I like this. You can take it as an inspirational quote -- anything is possible so long as you find the right key, or something like that -- or you can take it as silly. Either way, it works.
Though, you know, thinking about it -- isn't that sort of what hang-gliding's all about? You do have to jump off something to get in the air. Or maybe it would apply more to bungee-jumping. . . . Wouldn't that be weird, if a guy went bungee-jumping and then suddenly started flying because he missed the ground. . . . Damn, now I want to try it. XD
