Woman plunges 23 floors from balcony and LIVES!!!

She must have been a fat lady, and all that extra padding cushioned her landing on the taxi cab.

I think Ace would have survived that fall if he did a belly flop on the taxi cab.

I had a BMW that if you slammed the door shut too fast it wouldn't close because the air seals were so good.

Remember the old classic VW Bugs? I remember if the windows were rolled up & you slammed them shut when you got in, sometimes your ears would pop...or at least feel a lot of pressure build-up. Air tight little fuckers. Me & a neighbor chick rolled up the windows & smoked a joint inside of her older sisters bug. Couldn't even see each other through the smoke by the roach end.

The story used to be that VW bugs were watertight so that if you did a Teddy Kennedy no water would come in at all but looking back now I think that was probably an urban legend.

I've been to Argentina and the steak is grass fed there. It's not bad but I would still put Wyoming meadow grazed black angus up against it.

I've never been to Wyoming but the Argentinian stuff is world famous. In a couple of places I was at they carved the steak with a spoon...

[Seshmeister]

Me too or you too ??

Well for a little while probably most of us.

I lived like a king for a week and spent under $200.

No, they really did float...for a while. After several minutes, water would seep in and down they'd go. But they'd remain afloat long enough to cross a canal, or film a car commercial...

I bought an old beetle to turn into a baja bug and the original seals were so good it would still make your ears pop. This was a car with most the paint gone and a few rust spots on it but those original rubber seals still did the job.

Possibly, but as fate would have it, he would have bounced off and crushed the family of six who were patiently waiting for the cab they had called for in the first place.

No, that's not an urban legend as my oldest brother used to drive his bug into our pond, circle around in it a couple of times and drive out. One time, he had both my older brother and I (when we were little kids, I think I was 5) in there with him when he did it, and some vents or something came open on it and it sunk. He had to get both of us out of there and on the roof before it went completely under. Later on my dad went down there and pulled the bug out with the tractor, and on the way home my brother decided he would try to start it to see if it would crank. Well, it fired right up and he drove it the rest of the way home. True story.

Then he would wear a stupid devil mask to their funerals.
