Unbridled whimsy ahead Edit: He won! Much thanks, guys :)

[micehell]

Well, it's the 8th and I had meant to get back to 'regular' posting on the 1st... but then procrastination is my default, so there. But I come to you now because I have a friend who's in need of some views and likes on a YouTube vid he put up for... well, for this special project he's doing. ;) It's one of those types of things that makes you shake your head, and I won't explain in huge detail here, but it basically involves a 'pilot' taking an engineless, well, flying-ish contraption of some type (made by the pilot and crews, and there are a plethora of designs and features that many would-be engineers (and probably a few actual engineers as well) come up with for this (and, no, the one in the video is not the actual one ;)) off a high platform and trying to get as much distance as possible before they go splat in the water (the water being necessary to insure fewer deaths and owies and stuff *snork*). The distance is never all that huge since they don't get much room for their takeoff, so it's less flying than it is falling, but apparently there are many people (and by people I mean mostly guys, of course) that find this the best idea ever, and as it's amusing to watch them go at it, I say more power to them.

Apparently, however, there's also a video competition component of it, and said friend is looking for said views and likes to help him win, so if you have a moment (and a YouTube/Google account of some type), please to be going here to watch and like (remember the like part!). 'One minute three seconds of unbridled whimsy' awaits you! And by all means spread the word to whoever you think might be sucker enough nice enough to help out as well!
