Let's just let Chuck Darwin do his job.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | May 22, 2008 at 05:54 PM
And young enough for Darwin to have won!
OT to Sio\
Sio, no kisses for me, please. Swing by a drugstore and grab a shower cap for him to sign. :]

9toes, it says in the article that the rocks do join a little further down and that it's the OTHER side that has the furthest drop.
Still, I'm NOT trying that any time soon.

"For those who find their heart skipping a beat just looking at these photographs, it may of some comfort to know that the two rocks are actually joined together lower down."

Yes, I would still be cowering behind a rail, harnessed to an embedded anchor, wearing a parachute.

[cg will ride the mule down and go near the edge; I will remain in the hot-tub that has cold beers and no High Dive board]
Posted by: CJrun | May 22, 2008 at 06:17 PM
And a bungee chord, Meanie.
CJ - no time for the shower cap but I'll do it next time. I'm off!
Later dudes!

if that would have been me, i would have left my car keys back on the little rock.

Just a desperate attempt at securing a flip-flip endorsement contract.
Posted by: MartiniShark | May 22, 2008 at 06:36 PM
Whatever. Until he hands his friend his Budweiser and says, "Hey y'all, watch this!" in the back of a pickup truck riding through a rock quarry I'm not impressed. Just sayin'...

I'm not one for heights, and I still don't think that it was a safe jump to make, no matter how "short" the distance. I'd be with CJ, in the hot tub far away from the edge.

At least he didn't litter.
I was fine peering over the rim until a gust hit me from behind.

I had to focus more carefully to make sure I read Annie's post correctly. I hadn't.

Reminds me of the final scene in "Outrageous Fortune" when Shelley Long grand-jetes across the ledges, or buttes, or whatever they are.

I saw this like 2 years ago. How do they get away making a fake article about this?
Posted by: Adam | May 22, 2008 at 09:41 PM
as a transplanted arizonite, I've been to the canyon once or twice. the best trip was when my 100 pound sheperd wanted a closer look and almost pulled me over the edge. and she was sober.......

I cannot believe a "news" site posted this...
