    So let me get this straight.

    A bungee jump inside a car?

    That must have been some short rope!

    Few know that Laurent Lasko was obsessed early on with repetitive binge watching of Gerald McBoing-Boing.

    It’s times like this that I truly miss Jason the most. I’d love to see how he would handle Laurent Lasko.

    According to Alfonso’s Breakaway Glass Inc. FAQ, “Breakaway Glass is made of a mixture of plastics, not sugar.” Sugar glass is hygroscopic, usually can’t hold liquid, and must be manufactured shortly before use, so it won’t melt from humidity in the air. See prop master “Scott Prop and Roll” on YouTube.

    The car bungee jumper deserved a Darwin award, but it was withheld for some reason.

    Glass candy. I have made it before, not hard at all, though I am afraid I missed the opportunity to make a pane’s worth.

    Now if that car did 53 aerial somersaults inside a hoop, I’d be impressed

    Math and physics are critical for determining how much bungee cord, or how many cords, he needed to survive. I wonder, did he redo the math in his head as he, and the car, dropped?

    Assuming the bungee jump included the car itself, where do you get a bungee cord that strong?

    When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

    One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who only spoke Navajo, asked a question, which the son translated, “What are the guys in the big suits doing?”

    A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon. The old man got really excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

    Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder.

    After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate. He refused. So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the elder’s message to the moon.

    Finally, NASA called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said: “Watch out for these guys; they’ve come to steal your land!”
