Opened the pool this weekend. Kids are looking forward to lots of swimming, and so am I. Family and I have a big TODO list this summer. I don't believe we will be spending much time indoors. 
Hope all of you have a good summer, as well.

I'm reading a book about you, aren't the Swiss Alps a bit cold for a swimming pool?

Nah - he uses the lasers on the frickin shark's heads to warm it up first.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I said *reading* not *sitting brainlessly, watching*, there is a difference you know. BTW, O.H.M.S.S. is probably my favourite of the books and I do like the film as it is pretty close to the original story. It is my current mission to read the entire cannon of Flemming's Bond books in order.

Always nice to have something to aim at with!

It's all relative. Growing up in Northern Ontario, I swam in a spring fed lake. The water never 'warmed' up, it just wasn't quite as cold as when the ice first came off. Last month, I was swimming in a mountain lake in South Carolina; again, not warm, but refreshing.

Well then you're being silly. I used to swim as a lad in local drainage ditches streams or in the sea in the UK, now I find if the water is below 20°C it's too cold.

Or the other way around: When the temperatures dropped in Texas, we were still running around in shorts and t-shirts while the tough Texans looked like they were on an arctic expedition

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Last month, air temperature about 50 F, water about 40 F. The native South Carolinians thought I was off my rocker.

It's never to cold if the pool is full of piranhas.

I have seen this on imgur. While this guy must have the biggest balls ever, it is a f**g bad idea to post this since copiers/challengers may have less luck in their attempts. 
In the comments below the imgur post there was a link of a guy attempting to walk on a big crane, failing and stepping over in the void.

All this was no problem until Newton invented gravity.

Gravity isn't a problem, it's Earth that sucks.

In that case, you might want to rent a flat (pun intended) on the next neutron star.

You can just go and ignore gravity. As long as one isn't aware that gravity exists one won't fall.
How do I know this, you may ask? The answer is simple: Watching all those Road Runner cartoons was very educational!

How could I forget! After all, I used to live in a place where coyotes and roadrunners live. Actually I prefer it when the coyote ties a rocket to his back and lights the fuse.

I'm absolutely fascinated by free running but at no point am I tempted to give it a go. It's a very fine line of knowing how far to go to protect people from their own stupidity.

There is just one thing about it that I find interesting. If I laid out a few tiles of the same size and the same distance apart on the floor, I could probably dance on them with little trouble or missteps. Doing the same up on that building would get me killed in seconds.

Only in theory. I would not post such a video. A few weeks ago I posted my first and up to now only video.

By which he means he put a VHS tape through someone's letterbox.

It's true that nobody asked me to direct a movie yet, but at least my flying is not too bad.[^]
By the way: Does anybody have an idea where that 'meow' sound may come from?
