A friend of mine was recently put in that very situation - he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given around two months to live.  He did exactly what I think I would - spent as much time with his friends and family as he could and tried his best even while in pain to have a darn good time.  Saddest thing was he only managed two weeks of the two months he had been given - it just took him so fast.  R.I.P Jim - truly the naughtiest beard owner of all!

Its sad to hear that mate.

I was wondering about the technical side of this video. This trainsurfer uses some kind of suction device on the glass. I m not sure what its called in english or in dutch but i got a new double glass window installed recently and 3 guys used 3 of those devices to lift a 70 kg window. This trainsurfer is secured to a high speed train going around 250km/h probably with just one of these things.

Can anyone maybe tell me how much force you can put on just one of those devices? That basically means the difference between this guy just being an complete idiot or maybe he's taking a calculated risk and he's not so crazy after all.

1 - Quit job
2 - Spend time with wife and kids, family and friends all day, every day
3 - Ask everyone that comes to see me if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior
4 - Rent a Corvette, borrow an Air Force takeoff runway, make a top speed run with a video camera in the car.  Then my family can remember me by the look of sheer glee on my face as I fly along at 190mph+
5 - Finish the songs I've written and send them to a good producer.

Yep, pretty much this stuff..with some variations.  Help my wife plan how to spend the million dollars she'll get from my death, where to go, how to profit from our real estate, when I'll check in on her and the kids, etc.
