Someone sent me these in a chain email, it was horribly formatted. I also do not know who made the comments, or how accurate they are. I take zero credit in the pictures, I just wanted to compile them nicely for all to see.

While I hope they’re working out the physics, the gear they’re using is designed to take far worse beatings than this in rock climbing falls.

"I want to go to there" & KRISATOMIC - StumbleUpon

One of the biggest riddles of global travel isn’t which airline to fly, where to stay or even which restaurants to dine in — plenty of travel guides and websites are eager to offer up advice and pricing options on that.
