Title: The Secrets to Flying


Lugana - January 17, 2004 03:28 AM (GMT)
There must be a million ways for humans to fly, but is there a way to fly without wings or hovering?

Well, I did some research, and I think I found the way.

Douglas Adams had given the world the secret to flying in his book, the Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy.

All you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss….

I have been trying to do this for a few hours now, but have not seceded.

Do you have a secret to flying?

It's just like in D&D, you say your character tripped, and you roll to see if you hit the ground. If you don't, then you fly. I think that's how it goes, I don't play D&D, I heard it from a friend.

Do a genetic mutation on yourself and end up with the ability to fly? :unsure:

Strap a piece of butter toast onto a cats back? <_<

Sky Dive and just never come down? :blink:

Or give in and take drugs, i have heard that can make you fly. :angry:
(i dont like drugs)

Throwing yourself out of a plan always works. If you flap your arms like wings and make sure you land in the water...

Of course, that's not flying, that's falling with style (ah, the great philosophies of Pixar Studios)

*miraculously misses the ground......hits a balcony instead! Lies on the floor, limbs broken*

*walks out onto balcony, throws up, and then reinflates Batch with comical cartoon balloon pump*

You can fly on a dragon! Surely you guys have one?

Argh!

And so the unhealthy dragon obsession rears its ugly head!

DragonLady4 - January 30, 2004 09:04 PM (GMT)

After further review of The Hitchhiker's Guide, here is a more accurate way to fly. I don't have the book with me, unfortunetly, so this is all from memory.

To successfully fly, you must hurl yourself at the ground. As you fall, you must avert your attention to something strange or unexpected. Your body will be distracted from it's task of hitting the ground, and you will slowly float upwards.

You know, Roald Dahl prescribes fizzy lifting drinks.

Simply down a bottle to fly up, and belch to come down.

Open the Hitchikers Guide to the center pages, and flap the book around like wings.

That may work ;)
