And there is a good chance that you have another 47 hours to wait yet: it's the weekend.

Long weekend too in several states in Australia.

Following on from the Fire with Fire post below.
I did a search to see what the lastest videos on 3D printing of organs churned up;

It is just a matter of time before you can start getting samples of your own cells/body part scans etc. stored and replicated sitting on a shelf ready to go just in case of an emergency...

So you were searching for cheerleaders were you.....
It is impressive though, the levels of fitness required to do this certainly puts me to shame. Time to start limbering up again for this years winter ski season!

I remember the video from last year, juddering cross the scottish ice, made me remember why I gave it up.
It was actually a link via the Sydney Morning Herald, a very respectable outlet!

I don't think I was EVER that strong/flexible. The closest I got to any even mildly difficult physical feat was surfing!

So you're Australian in the same way Maunder is. So little so that you had to leave the country, only to return for short visits.

Despite my efforts at staying fit, I've never been that strong or that flexible either  .
It's just that those sorts of feats are only possible when you're that age, you have the right genetics, or both. I think the thing that amazed me more than anything else were the guys catching the girls' feet single-handed. Imagine catching a tossed 100 lb weight in one hand , the stress on the wrist is incredible.

This week I picked up the Browning BAR I've been waiting for, took it out for a test shooting, and stopped by the local gun store yesterday to report on the results - all good! The damned thing is a wet dream to fire. But I digress...
While there, I met another customer who happened to mention that he had some brass he wanted to get rid of, but didn't want it to go to waste since he knows that reloadable brass is really hard to find these days. I told him I'd take it off his hands and see to it that anything I can't use gets to someone who can. I really didn't expect to hear from him again, but true to his word, he called me this afternoon at work to arrange a pickup. I met him at his house on the way home from work and he truly did have some mixed brass[^] to get rid of. We loaded it in my truck, and I damned near broke something trying to unload it myself. I put it on a bathroom scale once I got it into the shop - 185 lbs!!! Crikey - this scale's never seen anything that heavy!
I know I can make some serious money on this stuff, given today's market for reloading supplies in the US, but I plan to sort it by caliber and sell it for the cost of shipping and a little of my time for sorting and packing, preferably to those who can't afford the new stuff. If this was clean, new brass, it could easily be worth $10,000; even as scrap brass, it's worth $2,000. But having spent many years barely surviving financially, and having been the beneficiary of many kindnesses from others, including some from this fine site, I intend to pass on my savings from this great deal.
Have a great weekend, all!

On a whim a few months back I bought one (got it for cheap). Haven't shot it yet, really want to get it out to a nice long range to test it out. How is the kick? What caliber do you have?
I have some brass if you want to stop by MN to pick it up. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

The recoil is far less than expected, comparable to the .243 Win BLR I bought earlier this year. That's in line with what I remembered from shooting one like this 50 years ago, when it was still a fairly new design. Mine's a .30-06 Springfield, and it's a positive joy to shoot. By all means, take yours to a range that can challenge its accuracy! Our local range only has a 200 yd area, but there's one up the road that offers a 1000 yd facility. Once I feel adequate on the 200 yd field, I'll try out the longer shots!
