Things To Do Before You Die

Lu Xun writes "A group of British scientists has brought some meaning to our lives by providing a list of 100 scientifically-oriented things to do before you die. The suggestions include 'joining the 300 Club at the South Pole (they take a sauna to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then run naked to the pole in minus 100 F) or learning Choctaw, a language with two past tenses - one for giving information which is definitely true, the other for passing on material taken without checking from someone else.'"

    The hardest part might be convincing the NSF to let you go to the South Pole research station just so you can run around naked.

    I wonder if they go barefoot too?

    The dummies can show how bones will behave in a crash and possibly to some extent internal organs. They cannot show how the skin will respond (eg, will the airbag give you a split lip or facial abbrasions).
