Why the "Shocked" ?.

I have at least the professional dignity and refined educational upbringing to apologise when I feel it is necessary.

Not one of you have any such qualities.

Actually, most of the people who have replied to you are quite well educated and/or have decades of experience in their fields of expertise - unfortunately, you seem to equate "disagreeing with you" with "uneducated rants" which reflects more on you than the other posters, imho.

What in (insert appropriate deity/non-deity/atheist substitute of choice)'s name is a "refined educational upbringing"? Did that lead into your "distinctive degree"? ;)

Soon as he started with the i am intelligent but you not attitude, i pictured a can of Stella held in the left hand, empty pizza boxes all around him on the floor. At the same time typing with one finger of his right hand and reading a page from wikipedia he has open in one window and posting the results on the forum in another. :D

I think I have either seen, heard of or read about every single miraculous feat accomplished by humans in my time. It seems impossible to isolate any one of these unbelievable feats as being special. But I must personally choose the exploits of Alain Robert, the French Spiderman as the most outstanding and daring personality I have ever seen.

He has climbed almost every one of the world`s tallest buildings freestyle, without ropes or any safety equipment. Just his fingers, French chalk and feet. In all this death defying activity, he suffers from Epilepsy and has to take daily medication.

To give examples of Alain`s accomplishments would be impossible. You must surf the web and read them for yourself, plus video`s and lots of photo`s.

I have some small experience of being subjected to great heights, since for many years I took part in skydiving as a sport with military and civilian clubs and to see this man standing on the very spire of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur without any support and waving his arms about at 1,483 feet high, most probably with a significant wind force, gives me the shudders.

And when he has climbed these buildings, he has to climb down again to a point where he can enter the building via a door or window or even have to climb back down to ground level. The police are always waiting to arrest him, but a few days in jail and Alain is free again.

Here is a shot of him after climbing the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia enjoying his success on the top of the spire. A helicopter is seen flying way below him. I would think that Alain was very concerned about prop wash in addition to the wind force at that height..

Except for the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, or the Vysotsky skyscraper in Yekaterinburg, or the Taipei 101, or the Central Plains Fortaleza building in Henan province, China, where he was invited to climb (so no fear of arrest), and used safety equipment....
