My reply was completely serious. And if you will continue to claim I was being sarcastic, I will ask you to show me proof that I can not fly using my Ki. Go on, prove it. :bigsmile:

That's really a *very* steep glide but it's just you and the wind.

Okay, okay. That's my fault. You didn't say arms. You said hands.Quote:

My bad.Quote:

How the hell are you supposed to fly with your HANDS?
Think further than an inch, please.
I think you're just provoking me, though.
...and there goes another should-be-nice thread into the quarrel can.
And of course I will have to take the blame for being flooded with sarcasm.
Yeah.
*attempts to discuss the topic*
*gets flooded with sarcasm and irony*
*tried to defend myself for a while, and sends Warnings*
*gets yelled at by angry Mods*
This will go on forever, but I'll be waiting for some serious discussion, and I DO hope that the Knights have deleted at least some of the sarcastic posts before the next century.
It doesn't take a week to check Warnings.
Okay, Peter 20, stop taking stuff too seriously. If you just want serious answers, make a thread in EoEO. There's always going to be jokes in GC. Of course, harmful jokes are not allowed.
DK and Bunny, stop provoking Peter.
Drop the argument and continue from here. :choc:
If you're going to ask how to fly using your arms, without a plane, hot air balloon or hang glider then you should expect to get mocked!
Concentrate your chakra in such a way that there is a greater- or equal- pressure underneath you compared to above you?
Failing that, skydiving whilst flapping your arms might be your best bet. Do remember your parachute though, I was joking about the chakra thing :)
The pressure differential is the key if you want to stay afloat, but as yet I don't think there has been a method invented that didn't involve steady solid wings or other methods like balloons and helicopters. It's been tried in the past I think around the time of the Wright Brothers but was never successful for more than a few flaps.
Actually, I've stressed countless times that I wanted to use something that lets me fly.Quote:

Anyway, I've actually often considered creating some giant, home-made wings and see if they can carry me. :)
I've got a feeling that it will be worth the trouble. :D
The only problem will be getting all those feathers...
@Levian Well this is kind of happening all over the forum not just in general.
Randomness and sarcasm/irony is fun but not if someone asks
advice of somesort. It's just really annoying if you make a topic
asking for advice and then someone comes along and makes a
cheap "joke" messing up your thread.
Ontopic, flying with your arms is as said with current technology
impossible. Materials we can create aren't light enough and our arms
are definately not strong enough (in comparison with their weight birds are really strong).
If it's the feeling of freeness (which I guess it is) you could try jumping out of a plane with a parachute. There also oughta be
some kind of mushroom or drug to experience the same effect,
if that's your thing (no I'm NOT advising you to do drugs). Speedball
is known to have a sortlike effect (speedball is coke and heroin abuse
together). It's very dangerous and messes up your life, I'm serious
don't do heroin or cocaïne especially not together.
Stop being so picky or I'll cut your knackers off with a chainsaw.
That's what I meant - people have tried fake wings etc but the nearest thing that has worked to date is the humble hang glider. That's pretty close though isn't it, hanging from a wing with a bar on it?
I guess so, but shouldn't it be theoretically possible to use fake wings?Quote:

It takes huge wings for it to work, though; I guess I'd need them to be at least 30 feet each.
Dont smurfing ask me!!!
If I knew how to fly, do you really think I would be in these forums, talking to a bunch of Final Fantasy Fanatics, while listening to my one CD, and chewing a 15-week old chewing gum?
That has been tried countless of times throughout history.
No one has succeeded.
A bird is really light. It's wings are longer than itself. It uses very
strong muscles to flap it's wings.
Humans just weigh too much for something like that to be possible.
Perhaps you can buy a glider and attach it to your back, that would
feel kind of the same as a rocket to your back wouldn't it?
Flight is impossible for human beings because our bones are too heavy, and we're not built in a way that would allow us to glide on air currents. So it's not possible to do what you're saying, physically.
Alright, I guess I'll have to give up the idea about the wings, but I've actually heard of some people who once used rockets in order to levitate during an International Sports Event.Quote:
