Feeling bored?  Like there’s not enough excitement in your life?  Here’s a thought: find a buddy, strap yourselves to the backs of two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 turbofan jet engines (nearly 30,000 lbs of thrust which won’t even notice your measly 200-lb masses), perhaps add a little glass to stop the bugs, and fly as fast as you can toward each other.  To make it even more exciting, you can paint your human asteroid machine with bright, pretty colors.

Whereas you and I consist of somewhere around 62.8% water, I’m guessing the pilots of the Thunderbirds over there have replaced 80-83% of their water with pure adrenaline.

Then, do it again.  And again.  Because apparently, once is not enough for a Thunderbird pilot.  Do you suppose they can walk after they get out of their jets?  I think I would collapse in a puddle of human jelly.
