Flying ??? ??? ???

I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain that this is the dumbest thread I've ever seen on the JREF forum.

Congratulations.

I should have said flying like a bird but using a different method.

An ex-lover of one of my relatives, when dating her, asked her to climb up onto the roof of the flats with him and he would fly off and take her with him.

If he could really fly, he would have been able to do this from ground level. What he was offering was a demonstration of a technique known as "falling".
 
May I remind anyone who needs it that flying is the art of making your number of landings equal your number of take-offs?

Oh, I can do that.

Once.
 
Good landings, that is. And a good landing is defined as one you can walk away from.

Nahh, just describing how I prefer to fly. You can fly anyway you like.

Why is it that people who claim to be able to fly 'like a bird' always want to start their flight from the top of a high building? If you can fly like a bird, just take off from the ground! Should be about as easy, and your skeptical loved ones don't have to fear that you are going to crash.
 
Yeah, or from a chair. After all, a flight at two ft altitude will be entirely as impressive as one at a hundred. ... And much less messy.

Having read the entire thread I think I can offer this helpul summary:

Is flying a suitable ability to be tested in the challenge.
Not flying as in levitating in a stationary position - flying as in flying like a bird.

Jambo hello, thank you for the question.
Flying using paranormal means would certainly be eligible for the challenge.

He didn't refuse to do it alone - he wasn't asked to do it alone.
When she refused to go with him and told him not to do it he just changed the subject. I think he had planned for both of them to fly to be romantic.
Did I mention he was stoned ?

Believing you can fly because you are stoned breaks several of the rules guidlines.
This would not be eligible.

This is a joke thread and not a serious question by jambo.

Jambo may have been stoned when he wrote it.

Let us all now put this ludicrous thread behind is and face the future, together, renewed, a little older, a little sadder, but perhaps a little wiser and with a bright new dawn of potential and opportunity ahead of us.
 
I can actually fly for short periods of time, both with successful take offs and (usually) successful landings. I use my legs to propel me up into the air, I travel a short distance, and then I land (usually) on my feet. So far, I've walked away from them all.

I think there's a bit of a difference between "flying" and a ballistic trajectory.

I have landed in airplanes several times fewer than I have taken off in them. Does that make me an incompetent flier?
 
I'd say if you jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, yeah, that in my book makes you an incompetent flier.

Unless you are still up there floating around, I am going to guess that you landed (in some fashion) each time.
