Some people survive 50-foot falls.

No, but high winds under such conditions are quite common.

Maybe you should try and persuade the people
who built houses where the line used to be to
knock em down, they you'd better see about
demolishing the M-11 and A-1M motorways
as well since they block the right of way, oh and
there's also the Industrial estate, I guess all
those factories have to go too.

Damn few survive 50ft falls onto a paved surface
and I can name two people who survived falls from
in excess of 10,000 ft without a parachute.

Maybe you should solve your own problems first?

It's abnormal if you're soaked with perspiration _all_ day where you
live, assuming that your job isn't something like being a cycle courier.
If it is, then take a couple of cold showers, and you'll be fine.

Have you ever checked to make sure that thre rest of the building where
you live isn't on fire or something?

But the irony is that Mixi doesn't cook anything. He only has a microwave
oven (and an air conditioner and water pipes and rads which are always hot
and zillions of computers) in his cupboard which he calls home.

No, he didn't say that. He said that you confuse things to the point he
doesn't give a ****. Not the same thing at all.
