- jerbaker, on 06/29/2008, -2/+130Hey. Stop splitting hairs. It's only 250% off.
- tinkafoo, on 06/29/2008, -6/+119Hey smart guy, put that kiddie pool on pavement instead of a huge rubber mat, then we'll talk.
- samard2002, on 06/29/2008, -5/+113Yeah, his name is PROFESSOR Splash. Not Mr. Splash, you damn philistines. He doesn't spend all his time teaching at Splash University just so that you can disrespect him on the internet. Show some class.
- aresef, on 06/29/2008, -5/+82And the foam pad is only there for show, right?
- legoalert33, on 06/29/2008, -2/+63Much like video game engines where 2 inches of water from a 100 foot fall wont kill you.
- kingdomdude, on 06/29/2008, -5/+53yeah I would like to see him do that w/o a pad under the pool...
- theduckchaser, on 06/28/2008, -5/+47OW
a situation where you have to bellyflop to survive. - STPZ, on 06/29/2008, -4/+46More like 1 foot of water, oh yeah and a 1.5 foot thick foam pad
- SetOverSet, on 06/29/2008, -7/+47Uh, and the huge pillow underneath?
- Mononuclear, on 06/29/2008, -1/+405 inches vs 12 inches is a huge difference... Also why are you so defensive? He just said it was 12 inches not 5. He didn't call you any names or even say it was your fault. He was just correcting the wrong information. When you submit a story you don't have to reply to ever comment and think that everyone is out to get you.
This comment by the way is out to get you. - MSstar, on 06/29/2008, -1/+37the De_Aztec syndrom
- Memnochxx, on 06/29/2008, -5/+40"Mr. Splash jumps 35 feet into 12 inches of water on top of extra cushioning."
I fixed the title for you. - Mononuclear, on 06/29/2008, -0/+29From his profile "Want to maximize your diggs? Go here:http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/tinc/lewp Digg my last 10 submissions that are on the left. I will see you, I will digg your last 10 as well. Easy."
Digg is going down hill fast because of all the circle jerk submissions. People just add 500 people as their friends and they shout spam to digg the other person's submissions, or they use stupid websites like this to circle jerk each other. Even if the article is horrible they still digg it so the other person will digg theirs.
This is why I don't have anyone in my friend list or allow shouts. If I see a good article I will digg it, if it sucks I will bury it. If I just don't care one way or the other I do nothing. Too much crap is making it on to this site because of ***** like this. At least usually once it hits the front page if it really sucks it won't be there for long. - adidos, on 06/29/2008, -0/+25That's what she said?
- adidos, on 06/29/2008, -0/+22Also it's "Professor Splash", not "Mr. Splash"...duhhhh
- sactoeric, on 06/29/2008, -6/+28Nobody noticed the giant air mattress under the inflatable pool w/ 12" of water?
- KOSmurfy, on 06/29/2008, -5/+27yeah, and I'd like to see him try jumping 35 feet into a cage of bears... bears with nunchucks. pfft. sissy!
- hoodmonkey, on 06/29/2008, -0/+20No, it's to break his fall.
- bman85, on 06/29/2008, -0/+20I gotta say, i would have been considerably more impressed by 5 inches though...
- demesisx, on 06/29/2008, -0/+19or put a huge pad underneath the 12 inches of water and flop onto water and then a pad.
- jenrzzz1, on 06/29/2008, -0/+19I know some people who would make a pretty big deal about a few inches.
- richIsBored, on 06/29/2008, -0/+18If he keeps this up his name will be Mr. Splat.
- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -13/+30Look, I just submit the stories, I didn't write it......besides, where is the lie? At the bottom of the video, there is a Digg button. I clicked it and the headlines were there already. I didn't add one word to the description. Perhaps medication is available to you?
- gaoshan, on 06/29/2008, -0/+14No. He's talking about turds... says so right in his comment. Read it again.
- virginian9000, on 06/28/2008, -5/+19He made it look unimpressive. I'm sure it hurt!
- l800LEMMINGS, on 06/29/2008, -2/+15as a digg poster your responsible for the accuracy of your post
it's like being a reporter submitting a story. The accuracy is what makes digg as strong as it is as well as week, and our job as diggers is to moderate and ensure the week inaccurate posts are buried. At least MrBabyMan tries. - cvrefugee, on 06/29/2008, -0/+13Are we talking about penises?
- zwaldowski, on 06/29/2008, -4/+16The world record committee forced them to put it there because they don't want people to die. Seriously - that's what they said in the CNN story on it.
- peticsu, on 06/29/2008, -3/+14he looks JUST like Gary Busey
- Philbert, on 06/29/2008, -0/+11The Japanese make it about a thousand times more dramatic lol
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -1/+11lol
- dannyapplesauce, on 06/29/2008, -2/+10what, are you on a mission?
- Typhoon2009, on 06/29/2008, -2/+9Idiots, all of you!
The guy who put the video on YouTube misunderstood. The guy jumped 35 feet and 5 inches (35'5") into 12 inches of water. - cypherus, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7Here he is in Japan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjJvLefQSWY
- dysk, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7"Mr. Splash posthumously renamed to Mr Splat"
- ChromaVita, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
...oh wait :( - FabAl, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7My first thought immediately upon viewing. Comment Dugg.
- lamiaconfitor, on 06/29/2008, -0/+6Damn straight, he earned his PHD in Splasonomics from Bush Gardens in '93!
- metalpres, on 06/29/2008, -2/+8That guy is a bitch, try 100ft with 0 inches of water then that guy will have my respect.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Mq6rCfYtU&fea ... - Dylson, on 06/29/2008, -2/+7Or just not do it.
- wilsondus, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5I second Druid72... title is embellished... it was actually 12 inches of water, and on top of a cushion. Not that impressive when you factor in the cushion
- Emachine, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5"I can wire anything directly into anything! I am the Professor!"
- donald347, on 06/29/2008, -1/+6Don't wink at me, Mr. "5" inches
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4don't use all capital letters please
- flyers126, on 06/29/2008, -1/+5Crack is one hell of a drug.
- Jhiaxuz, on 06/29/2008, -1/+5I still think it's neat though. Some people can't even climb 35 feet let alone leap off of it into an inflatable pool.
- j1ggy, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Yet both the title and your comments are full of Engrish.
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4I saw this in a cartoon once.
- N0153T4NK, on 06/29/2008, -1/+5Go SU!
