Like...why? Why do we need to try this?

[bluGill]

We don't. I'm not going to try this. You appear to not want to either, and that is fine. He is trying this, and I see no reason anyone should prevent him from trying. (I'm open to changing my mind if someone comes up with good justification, but in generally I like the freedom message and so place a high bar on what a good justification would be)

The real question everyone is wanting to know but not asking - can we laugh if he dies?

Why are humans pushing themselves to do challenging stuff? I don't know man, but it's just what we do, and I think that's cool.

Well.. better doing that then trying to understand cryptic C++ compiler warnings.

[bluGill]

I don't know about you, but I get paid a lot of money to understand cryptic C++ compiler warnings, and I'm not risking my life at sea. In a strange sort of way I enjoy the challenge (which is part of why people cross the sea, so I can't even claim I'm very different)
