If you Google "wet and wild" in the UK now you get a weather report.

I tried googling it from here.
Apparently Wet'n'wild is a whole series of themeparks.
Sounds like my kind of theme, can't wait to go there. Poke tongue | ;-P

Drop a camera from a plane...

Safe for work, but it strikes me that the camera must be a lifting body as it started to stabilise before it hit the ground.

Ground effects?

The same ground effect that destabilizes a helicopter when hovering near the ground? The rotor has to work hard to create even a weak air cushion.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

Trust me, I'm an aerodynamicist. Blush | :O

Helicopters can lose hover ability at any altitude. It isn't just ground effect, it's a toroidal recirculation that builds up around the rotor disk. The tip vortices of the blades combine into a mother of a Polo mint, and the chopper drops.
Escape? Forward dive into clean air.

Based on what I saw, I think the 'stabilization' you saw is actually the camera's rotational speed matching its fps (frames per second, not feet per second Smile | :)

creating a sort of stroboscope effect.

Notice how the stabilization looks like someone adjusting the vertical hold and the continued distortion on the left and right sides.

Nope.. its spin started to match the rolling shutter. That's why the picture looks like a TV that's lost vertical sync with the blue sky looking like a river instead of a hemisphere and continually rolling through the image.

We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

At the Super Bowl

A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty.

He asked the elderly gentleman on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there. "No," the man replied, "The seat is empty."

"That's incredible!" said the first man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?"

The elderly man replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This will be the first Super Bowl we haven't been together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else -- a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The old man shook his head. "No, they're all at the funeral."

the biggest sporting event in the world

Seriously?

I must take issue with you.

It may be the biggest in the US, but certainly not the world.

However, it is also a good gag.
