professor splash = high dive, shallow water

Oh my gourd this dude is nuts! Meet professor splash! He just set a new record by diving from a height of 35 feet into a kiddie pool filled with 12 inches of water. No Joke. I can hardly get into bath water 6 inches deep without suffering a few bruises, but then again, I’m a sensitive soul, and I’m not called Professor Splash.

I don’t know what’s better, diving into an insanely shallow pool of water, or diving from an insanely high perch like this dude who nabbed the world record high dive for this jump:

I wish it was Thunderball

I’m gearing up for an evening of fierce, manly sports competition, and we men have chosen for our sport: softball. I wish it was Thunderball.
If you have to ask, I’ll share with you a smattering of the unique rules that makes Thunderball special:

Honeys and Hounds. Cheerleaders and dogs are allowed to roam the field freely and affect play as they wish. During the seventh inning, however, players are allowed to tackle the Honeys as they please, for bonus strikes.

Team mascots will alternate innings driving a Honda Accord anywhere on the field except for the pitcher’s mound, the batters box, and the dugout. Players can use this car as part of their offensive or defensive strategies.
*The Designated Driver rule of the Western Conference modifies this so that rather than an Accord, a Cheverlet is used, driven by a neutral party not affiliated with either team.
