La Grenouille Sautante

Bon chance, mon Colonel!

A retired French colonel plans to be the first man to break the sound barrier in free fall by jumping from a helium balloon 25 miles up in the stratosphere.

A commendable ambition, but we suggest that le colonel should take along one of those parachute things just in case.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
