I am shocked!!! I thought you were averse to fast-moving videos, as you commented here once before. Now I am very pleased to find, that you would love to take part in a low-gravity flight, with all the dizziness and craziness that it would include. This makes me very happy. You have now remembered your youth, as I do upon occassion, when we were young and strong, and we could do much more than we can now. It is sad that the body declines, but it is so awesome that our minds can grow and become stronger as we age, as yours has done.....

Very interesting. I would have loved the first one in the 1950's when I was much better shape to attempt to take part in it. I still at my age think it would be fun to see the second one in person where it is.

Glad you enjoyed the OK GO chain reaction video again, after just talking to your friend about it. Coincidence, or synchronicity? I am becoming more convinced of the latter these days. My mom says there is no such thing as a coincidence, but she is coming more from the strong omnipotent God angle, while I see synchronicity as a weak manifestation of spiritual power, not strong. Either way, I will take it, with gratitude!
If you return, you can now see the new OK GO video, which is pretty cool in itself.
Cheers

OMG! This is SO wild! I was just telling a close friend of mine about this video (the Rube one) a couple of nights ago!!! I have a friend who is just obsessed with the dang thing but he has a traumatic brain injury!! And I tell him that! LOL! Seriously, I just do not understand people who spend the time and energy planning and executing these things. Yep, they are ingenious...that, I totally agree....also, to me just a totally stupid waste of creativity and energy......but, different strokes, eye of the beholder, etc.!

Aarrgghhh......
yes, Youtube just blocked that video, because of copyright complaints!! That has happened to me several times, after I post a video. But never fear, I will find a way around it. I will "just make it work", LOL
Check back later to see if I succeeded.....

I didn't get to see the second one - copyright stuff, apparently...But I may have seen it somewhere else recently - bursting paint-filled balloons in a plane that creates temporary weightlessness, if I recall! I would love to do that, and since I don't get seasick, (genes, I guess, LOL) I don't think it would affect me at all either...

LOL! It's neat! But I can do without the rap - it always gets on my nerves, and it's a good thing one can turn it off...
