I just dun understand
Hmmm..... was having my breakfast and reading the papers when i happened to see a picture. The picture showed a guy, with a pair of scissors, trying to cut another person's hair. Now, this would have looked pretty normal, except for the fact that these 2 people were sky diving.... yes... sky diving. Apparently this guy was trying to set a Guiness world record by cutting hair, 4250 ft in the air...
Ok, besides snickering at the possible scenario that he might cut the strings of the parachute accidently, i just found the whole concept of it quite stupid really. If you have a natural ability to do something that other people can't, then yes, you are worth mentioning in the Guiness Book of World Records (GBWR). Like, if you are able to stick metal spoons on ur body, or u can protrude ur eye balls etc etc. That is seriously amazing. Or, if you are pushing the limits that no man has done before. Like, riding ur bike over 10 cars, or you travelled from Australia to the USA on foot without stopping, that still perks my interest. But this??? To set the record of cutting hair from 4250ft?? If the guy can gimme a Japo hair do from the moment i jump off the plane, till when i touch down, then yes, I would be impressed. But from what the picture showed, he was just snipping of hair that was already tied in a ponytail! What skill does that require?? Oh, i have to be extra steady with my hand because of the altitude blah blah blah??
Sigh.. that's just lame... the distance some people go just for fame.......
