Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA

Viggeh! writes "An overly excited Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software, today proclaimed at an internal company meeting that if the download numbers of the new Opera 8 Web browser reach 1 million within the first four days of the launch, he will swim from Norway to the USA with only one stop-over for a cup of hot chocolate at his mother's house in his home country, Iceland. The new browser was released Tuesday and was downloaded 600.000 times in the first 48 hours since release. The challenge will end on Saturday at 0900 a.m. CET, so if you want to try out some new software and make the CEO stick to his big words, download it at Opera's webpage(direct link)."

No, you impotent moron, a dry suit is a suit that basically acts like a zip-lock back for your body. You put it on and it does exactly what its name says, it keeps you dry. Water cannot penetrate through the suit, nor can it sneak up the sleeves, neck, or foot holes. You are totally sealed. Here's a picture I found on Google image search: drysuits I hate morons who make stupid comments on this site.
