When I was 10 or 11, I had like an old tv and a radio and a couple other things in my room that didn't have remotes for them, and apparently I was tired of getting out of bed to turn stuff off. So I came up with the idea to fasten a 5 or 6 ft string to the ceiling with a tennis ball tied at the end. It would hang next to my bed and whenever I needed to shut something off I would just launch the tennis ball towards the off switch. I got pretty good to where I could even flip the light switch on the wall all the way across the room. I did finally end up breaking my radio one day and my mom made me take the tennis ball down, but I think I used that method for over a year.

I had something similar set up with kite handles and hooks. I could turn on/off my light and fan from bed.  :cool:

Yeah all the cool kids did this pretty much. Yours sounds a lot more complicated though

I had sex with a girl who claimed to have taken Drew Bledsoe's virginity.

Threw a sharpened pencil up (and it stuck) in the ceiling at my HS (Wichita NW) in '85. It was there for at least 10 years...not sure if it's still there.

nice, congrats.  
i have an acquaintance that won $96,000 last weekend playing Carribean stud in Vegas.  She hit an ace high royal flush on a $50 table w/ a progressive bet.

Not only that, it was the third time I've hit the bad beat up there in the last 3 and a half years and won over $20,000 each time.  Not to rub it in, though....

How does you neck and back feel after doing that? Looks like it would hurt?  :dunno:

Amazingly, hardly any stress felt what so ever.  Bungee progressively slows you down.  Not as abrupt as it looks. 

Very awesome.
