    I remember in this theme park in Spain (no names). There was this big log flume ride, and when you go down the big drop at the end, it whooshes you through this big lake. I was drenched!

    I don't know if you are referring to the same event as me, but a number of years ago my friend took his 13 year old sister to Funderland. She went on a ride where you are enclosed in a little pod that flies aound the place. Tragically, she began to vomit, choked, and died.

    I would now never go on any ride where it's enclosed, because that could happen to anyone.

    How has the ride being enclosed got anythign to do with it? unless she filled the entire pod with vomitand drowned, but in fairness if you could fill something big enough to fit in with vomit youd probably die anyway.

    It was all goig so well till I got to that bit and came very close to pissing myself laughing

    The staff at the hospital took up a collection for her.
    The nurses clubbed together and bought a coffee table.
    The doctors gave her a futon...

    anyone see the picture off the kid at a south american soccer game, he had some big firework, like two pounds of gun powder and it went off in his hands, blew them both off and he's just sitting there with two stumps and a stunned look on his face

    He won't be exactly chipper about that side of things either...............
    Still he will hook up with someone that will make things batter in the long run.
