What's quora?
(It's really hard to always keep on top of all the latest tread

Quora is a general Q&A forum and hang-out for narcissistic
know-it-alls. In fairness, the answers are typically of high
quality, and there are definitely some smart folks on there. By
I get turned off by folks who do things like list their IQ or
Mensa membership in their personal profiles, or post about their
sexual exploits.
However the forum does often answer some highly important and
relevant questions. My favorite so far was the "If I wanted to
jump from an airplane flying at 30,000 feet with nothing but
bubble wrap for protection, how much would I need?"
Since you are no doubt curious, I believe the answer was you
would need to be wrapped in a ball about 4m in radius. They
never explained how you would get that on the plane though.
