NO. 1 - Buy a toblerone and a mint chocolate block of choc and melt them together. next, get a NDS, NDSL or NDSI and balence it on your noose while drinking/eating the melted choc whilest playing an ancient violin and balincing on a hippos butt. NO. 2 - Get a hiliam balloon and breath it all in. Then call a random number and say, "Oh my! I got something to tell you! (Sniff sniff) YOU STINK!

What happened with Henry dawson and his dad?
His Dad tragically went missing whilst hangliding when Henry was just 3 years old leading Henry to be raised by his dutiful mother. He radioed Biggin Hill Airport for assistance on June 27th 1979 at approx. 14.23pm as he was being harassed at 3000ft by an aggressive albatross. Tower control advised a change of flight path but to everyone's surprise Henry's dad realised these weren't the actions of an avian aggressor but a distressed pregnant mother bird. By patching his call through to a local vet, Henry's Dad was able to deliver a baby bird in mid air by modifying his harness to allow 'hands free'. Tower lost contact at 15.43pm. He was never heard of again. His last words were "My God, she's beautiful, fly free yound Nebuchanezzar."
