CleeToonFan 1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Red Bull are paid money by the Austrian government, who are in turn given money by the Americans and the Chinese, so they can keep up the 'space' farce and tax us even more. They even managed to get a man into a studio to fake it all! Amazing stuff, what's more amazing is how idiots such as The Fish and Gemmill with his legs on a head just believe this so called 'proof', instead of being smart arses without a single thread of proof in their favour about it. One things for sure, i'm going to start drinking Relentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Gutted I missed the jump. Been following Baumgartner's exploits for a while and he's batshit, but what a guy. Him base jumping off Christ in Rio was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
