After that, there should be no sense of acceleration although you will feel 90 mph worth of wind. Upon parachute deployment, you’ll obviously feel massive deceleration. This will be followed quickly by a punctuated death characterized by a cartoon-like “splat.”

And I, too, worked for a guy who frequented my BBS. We eventually started an ISP together, which is still (just barely) alive and kicking.

Nor did I sucker for the one about the dude who asks women to do a perfume-smell test in parking lots and kidnaps them after they’ve passed out. Scary thing is—a dude really asked me to do a perfume smell test in a parking lot once. (I passed.)
