The Story of My Life

The following is a story that I have kept inside me for along time now, I was sworn to secracy but I now feel, ten years on that I have nothing to be afraid of. I cannot be silenced anymore. So here we go...

What you are about to read is 100% truth, if it sounds farfetched then I have no explenation other than your mind cannot comprehend the epicness of this.

About 10 years ago I was on holiday in Florida and we took a trip to the Kennedy space center. Anyway we were a part of a tour around the center and one of the NASA workers said something that intrigued me. He informed us that no man could survive re-entry into the earths atmosphere from space without the use of a space suit. Now me, being the awesomeness I am, was sure that I could do it. I told him that and he laughed it off as a young child's dream. So what did I do? I made my way to the offices of NASA and... what? You don't think I could make it there? NASA security got nothin on me.

Anyway, I made my way to the offices and once I arrived there I layed down a gauntlet if you will. I bet NASA it'sself that I could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. They agreed to the bet and it was on, if I survived, they had to buy me a beer, if I died, I bought them a beer (seriously NASA are dumb, this was a win-win situation for me).

So, on July 19th, 1999, a naked Lou re-entered the earth's atmosphere, in turn streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of well over 3000 degrees.

I had done it, and an embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor. Y'know what's the worst part about the whole thing? NASA still owes me a beer.
