[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Not what you want to hear when bungee jumping over a river rapids filled with crocodiles. Can you swim with your legs tied together? http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/09/us-australia-bungee-idUSTRE8080AE20120109?feedType=nl&feedName=usoddlyenough An Australian woman has survived a terrifying fall after her bungee cord snapped during a 111-metre (364-feet) leap off Africa's Victoria Falls Bridge, plunging her into the crocodile-infested Zambezi River below. Erin Langworthy, who suffered only cuts and bruises in the fall on New Year's Eve, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, said it was a "miracle" that she had survived the plunge into the rapids below the bridge, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe. -----signature----- There are three kind of liberals; Stupid, ignorant or evil The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil.

	I saw this on the news this morning. I don't know that it's a miracle - the bungee still took nearly all the energy from her jump before snapping - but she is quite lucky. -----signature----- "Take the cheese to sickbay!"

	Oh it's a miracle, but not for the reason you think. The fact that Fist got a bit of news from something other than whackjobidiots.com or WND.com is in fact a miracle, a miracle that I for one am going to submit to the Vatican for official review. -----signature----- "man up, you wimp." - Groucho48 "I'm not racist at all." - dae_trist

Sorry troll. For something to be funny it has to have at least a small slice of truth to it. I have not used a link from conservative web sites for some time now. Fact is today the wacko link is most likely to come from the NY Times. That paper has fallen into distrust with there clear bias and selective reporting. -----signature----- There are three kind of liberals; Stupid, ignorant or evil The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil.

I might not succeed but I would sure try. Good thing the line broke when she was close to the water. If she was knocked out drowning was about a sure thing. People trip and die. People choke on food. There are a lot of ways to die. That she did not die is the story. -----signature----- There are three kind of liberals; Stupid, ignorant or evil The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil.
