Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 6745 Joined: 24-December 04 From: Burma to Cambodia Member No.: 124	It's true. It's a bit like a washing machine. I saw people sort of gushing and plopping out, almost as if they were being naturally delivered.. -------------------- Woz..

The only way of getting hurt is by bones crashing in to soft places as you tumble around violently with your slippery Zorbing partner.. -------------------- Woz..

Journeyer Group: Members Posts: 3458 Joined: 19-September 03 From: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Member No.: 5 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Ok. I am in. But I think I would like to go at it alone because broken bones just don't do it for me. -------------------- Carmella That's all She wrote
