Another strange thought just occured to me.

[Ginge]

Is it possible to jump down?

 

I know you can easily jump UP but technically its impossible to jump DOWN isnt it? You can FALL down and DROP down but you cant jump down.

 

Even if you jump OFF something you initially JUMP UP first THEN fall.

what if you started upside down?

[Alex]

Also when you jump up, you will ultimately have to come back down.

 

Maybe a better description is needed.

Thats my point exactly.

 

So then the phrase "Jump up and down" is completely wrong.

 

Its a bit like "sit down" and "stand up". Can you REALLY sit UP or stand DOWN???

 

I think I need to get my head examined.

I know...but my brain doesnt stop getting filled with all this crap.

 

Something else that always worries me is...

 

Is there any such thing as a proffesional doctor?

 

NO...they're all in practice.

 

Would you really want someone to PRACTICE on you? I'd prefer to have a fully qualified person PERFORM on me.

[Trouble]

id rather not be examend dont like doctors

 

i think ther always in practice because they wont be able to deal with every illness and ther will always be new ones comming out

Thats just falling down a rope.

 

When you jump you go upwards. When you ab-seil you arent jumping, you are just pushing away from a vertical surface in order to fall / drop to a horizontal surface.
