Base Jumpers
There are bold ones.
There are cold ones.
There are no old ones.

I saw an Omnimax film on base jumping once (for those of you who don't know, an Omnimax theater is one where there's a giant hemispherical screen in front of you, above you, and to your sides), and this guy strapped a camera to his chest, walked to the edge of a four thousand foot cliff, and slowly leaned out over the edge and jumped. It was undoubtedly the biggest adrenaline rush I've ever gotten while sitting still.

We maybe not any more old ones. Seems I saw some show where a chick died base jumping and she was in her 60s if I recall. She had been jumping for years.
Was that the one whose 'chute failed in Yosemite? The one who borrowed an old 'chute packed by someone else because she didnt want to risk her own new 'chute being confiscated when she landed?

All your base are belong to us!
I hate base jumpers. Always coming in with craploads of Zerglings and Hydralisks and then drones to take my precious minerals and vespene. Get your own base, jerks!

That was mentioned in the darwin awards.
