    I peed off the top of Ben Nevis (4,500 feet). Does that count. Realistically it only fell a few 100' off the cliff edge before splattering onto some guys hanging on ropes.... inconsiderate b*stards.

    My mate took a golf club up with him and was firing golf balls off the top of the peak so that he could say he had a 4000' drive. I hope they didn't hit anyone.

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
