Did I ever mention that my wheelchair has a custom turbo-booster power supply, and magneto-hydrodynamic non-linear motors? Start running. :oh_really:

 

I thought perhaps you'd be more of a gadget freak...

 

 

:eek:

Are you daft? They don't have Norwegian Astronauts! :eek:

 

 

:oh_really:

 

Fiord-nauts check

Snow-nauts check

Ice-nauts check

Astronauts - I believe they got a half-check this week, although that is not to say that he is half Czec.

Indeed...Christer Fuglesang, currently on Discovery en route to the ISS, is Swedish but has a Norwegian dad (born in my city). :oh_really:

 

Actually, the contraption is called Norwegian Utilitarian Technology Seat.

Notice the practical intravenous whiskey dispenser. It will fill your left leg *and* the other one (assuming they are still attached) and you don't even have to stand up straight afterwards. Ingenious! :oh_really:

I raced in my first triathlon this past weekend :confused:

 

I placed 624th overall and 5th in my category (first timers :hihi:)

 

First was the swim - 500m, Then the bike - 20k, then the run - 5k. Took me 1 hour 19 mins from start to finish.

 

Got some pics:

Is that a GIRL passing you during the run? :confused:

 

I worked with a woman who ran her first marathon while we were on a project together in 1998. The whole project team went down to cheer her on from a couple of points on the rout. Being the anti-social jerk that I can tend to be I felt compelled to count and report how many one legged runners had finished ahead of her. It was 23.

 

I could not finish either what you did or a marathon in my current physical shape without the aid of an ambulance.

A short lived mohawk, :hyper:

 

And a picture I made tonight of a scale version of earth near the sun. (look on the right side near the middle)

 

I also added lighting, stars, and another earth to add even better perspective on the size of things we happen to live in. ;)

 

It turned out so great I wanted to share it here. I dont know how to put it in the art section. I'll go and figure that out, in the meantime, its here, you might see my picture im like that 0.000009% of the pixel on that little earth planet.:eek2:

I have much larger versions. Up to 2100 x 2034. PM me if you want one that size. I only have like a 12 or 13 inch moniter lol ;)

Only sponsors have gallery access, but if you plan on making more images we'll be happy to give you some space, mate.
