101 things to do before you die!

    I'm always amazed by the banality of the things you find in these ubiquitous "Things to do before you die" lists. I mean...

    - Swim with a dolphin.
    - Have your portrait painted.
    - Be a member of the audience in a TV show.
    - Make love on a train.
    - Plant a tree.
    - Grow a garden.
    - Reflect on your greatest weakness, and realize how it is your greatest strength.

    ...for f**ks sake!

    I thing it's time to create a list with some balls. Here's a few:

    - Drive your car at over 100MPH on a straight road at night and then turn off your headlights.
    - Play Russian roulette at least once.

    I have done these.
    I like the idea of getting addicted to heroin. Takes a bit of cash though for the rehab part.

    Two (or more) people crammed into a cramped urine overflowing Iarnród Éireann train's toilet surely can not be considered 'making love'. :p

    I'm actually a little bit disappointed in 3D development as a whole. Like when i went to see a 3D film about 20 years ago and my granny bought me those weired paper glasses with different coloured lenses, i thought in years to come we'd be watching everything in 3D.

    3D - You have a lot of improvement still to make. (imo of course)..

    yeah 3d sucked, spiderman is actually 4D which means there is interactivity on the ride, ie you get wet and feel the fireball etc, something which 3d lacked big time

    it continues to win the best ride in the world on theme park sites like this http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/universal's_islands_of_adventure/the_amazing_adventures_of_spider-man/

    one of my friends was clapping like a child throughout it and he is 23 and had ridden most of the big coasters before it
