FLYING !!!

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.

I don't see why not. Know anyone who can? No?
 
A relative of mine went with a guy who said he could fly ...
on the way home one night he offered to take her to the top of the flats to fly off with him ...
she was overtly sceptical and spoiled the potential fun by refusing to go up on the roof of the tower block with him.

Overly sceptical? Because she wouldn't jump off the roof of a building? Wow.

Birds fly according to aerodynamic principles (i.e. using wings providing adequate lift), so flying like a bird would not qualify.
 
Read up the thread.

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.

Unfortunately she missed out on his performance because of her refusal.

So, you don't know if anyone can. You just heard someone say they can.

Gotcha.
 
If she doubted his capabilities she could always have asked him to fly alone first.

But that's just the point, isn't it? He refused, unless she joined him in his folly. And then, he claims victory, because she refuses?

Don't you realize what a scumbag this guy is?? The onus is on him, not her. It's not her fault, it's his.

He'll never understand ... never ... its like a nightmare ... never ending ...
 
Actually, I know of a situation similar to what Jambo describes, except that on top of the rooftop was a little bar and the man was trying to pick up a woman in the bar with the " can fly" line. She was "overly skeptical" and asked him to demonstrate, so he did, jumping off the building and then flying back up and landing on the edge.

Her skepticism assuaged, she went to the side of the building and jumped with him, but sadly, she couldn't fly and was spattered on the pavement below. The bartender looked over at the man and said, "Superman, you are a mean drunk."
 
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 ?

Damm Beat me to it.

Oh well I did have a friend who though he could fly. LSD + mental problems = early grave.
 
According to the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground...and miss.
