Felix Baumgartner's record was a publicity stunt for Red Bull.

Baumgartner sounds like it should translate to something smuttily amusing, but baum means tree, so it's just something like Felix Forester.

No more of an ego trip than buying a flash bike. He didn't make any big fuss. It was personal. Nice.

Wait a minute. Roswell? Google vice president? More evidence that Google's run by our alien-lizard overlords. Or something.

Waste of helium. Think of all the kids who won't be able to do high pitched voice jokes when the helium runs out.

Why do you think the Roswell part was in bold!
watched the programme on that Felix Baumgartner and i thought he was a right drama queen going on about all the risk and danger to his life and all the training he needed to do to prepare . the old guy who record he broke was an amazing man who put on a leather suit and had a go with no fussing about . just got with it and lets see what happens

This puts me in mind of the fact it didn't matter how high or rugged the hill(or in what weather) I used to climb with all the gear there would always be a little old lady in tweed and a pair of brogues walking a cocker spaniel. I am sure if I climbed K2 she would be there throwing a stick.

Well done to the pair of them for having the balls to do something like that, sponsored or not.
