Someone needs to post that on PETA's website. Should be good for some mileage with those knuckel heads.

They still used B/W cameras in the 80's?

Ah, another state secret blown.

This was the first test of a new detainee interrogation technique. You can tell it was only a test because 1) there are no known feline WOT detainees and 2) there's a parachute. The parachute was to ensure the safety of the test subject, it's not part of the actual interrogation technique.

It's not the camera that's black and white (except possibly externally) it's the film. Yes they still use B&W film in this decade too.

You are just the sort of person we are looking for in the Leper Colony. You find the information that is important to all! Of course if you of found one where the parachute did not open we would have amde you the comander!

He muttered something about "test Pile-its" and "doing it for the glory", and then stomped out........................

Reminds me of something I saw a while back. Someone created a hovering perpetual motion machine by strapping a piece of buttered toast (buttered side up) to a cat's back. Since toast always lands butter side down when dropped and cat's always land on their feet, the cat just hung in the air spinning about a foot off the ground when dropped.

No wonder the cat looks p***sed. He doesn't need a parachute.
See this
Cats fly

I heard one story of a cat jumping out of a Piper Cub in the pattern. The pilot found it sitting at the side of the runway waiting for him after landing. I'm not sure what this says about the cat's view of the pilot's abilities to land safely:rofl

It's the rushing sound I've heard that causes cats not to get hurt when falling.

Same thing with pot heads. A pair of pot heads were smoking on the roof of our gym. One fell off. He was so stoned, that the rushing air sound relaxed him, and he flopped when he hit the ground. He wasn't hurt.

You didn't even get a scratch?

That's funny.
