    ... because if you fall from 10,000 feet, hit the ground, and explode, who cares about breast cancer!?

    Yay, yay, yay! Jump for the Cause has been going on for many years and it's always such an exciting time to be a female in the sport. There are so little of us compared to how many men are running around, so it's nice to see that you aren't alone.
    However, having said that it is an incredibly empowering sport for women. A lot of competitive teams are composed of both genders and there is no distinction made between the genders in competition. In fact, initially, women have the edge physically, because our center point more naturally tends to fall to our hips, as opposed to men, which creates a better position aerodynamically.

    Also, only this drop zone raised $900,000. Jump for the Cause is a national event in the sport with almost every drop zone in the country raising money for breast cancer research. So I would assume that nationally the number is much higher.

    Also: better them than me. I could never jump out of a plane - I'd be afraid of having a heart attack on the way down. Then the person attached to me would have to deal with my corpse. Maybe they'd jettison me.

    damn it, that photo is mind-fucking me right now. I love that dog, but it's also a photo of Hitler, who was a mass-murdering fuckhead (thanks, Eddie). it's always been so hard for me to digest the fact that Hitler was a vegetarian who loved his German shepherds and then went to work and killed millions of people. talk about compartmentalization...

    Thank you! Hitler was not a vegetarian, although some Nazi propaganda did emphasize a vegetarian diet, along with things like exercise, eating healthy, going to the sauna, etc. as part of protecting the health and strength of the race/nation. That's where that rumor comes from.

    @frankie22: More likely, the Russians just shot him and wanted to cover up the evidence. The Allies made a specific and historic point to bring all the high ranking Nazi war criminals to justice at Nuremberg. I can see how the Russians would want to cover up the actions of an overly-zealous commander who decided a trial wasn't necessary.

    @frankie22: This is a great little exert from the Washington Post about Hitler sightings after the war:

    'There were many sightings. Among the first, it was reported that Hitler had been seen living as a hermit in a cave near Lake Garda in northern Italy. Another report had it that he was now a shepherd in the Swiss Alps, a third that he was a croupier at a casino in Evian. He was seen at Grenoble, St Gallen and even off the Irish coast.'

    [www.washingtonpost.com]

    You cant help but laugh! i heard that in britain alone, after the war some 200 sightings a month were reported, hitler in a cafes, in the park, in the local library, everywhere lol
