What’s the difference between STATUS QUOtes and Q.U.O.T.E. (Quotes Up On The Edge)

If you happen to follow STATUS QUOtes on a regular basis, you might have noticed that controversial topics are largely avoided.

As a quotation enthusiast, I felt there was a need for a space with quotes that would resonate with readers and which, by the nature of the quote or the person quoted, might cut a bit closer to the bone than those on the STATUS QUOte pages.

That’s where Q.U.O.T.E. – Quotes Up On The Edge comes in. These pages, unlike STATUS QUOtes, will not be published on a daily or regular basis. When there has been an ample number of witticisms, timely remarks, irreverent humor, etc. to gather an interesting compilation, they will appear on JBRish.com

If this is your “cup of tea,” check back often! Please do not comment about the topics and/or opinions; they are not necessarily those of JBRish. If you have something to say that would enlighten viewers regarding the meaning of the quotation or quip, then please feel free to chime in.

Vide-Ohs: I Fear for the Human Race!

Jeff

I think most people like challenges, but I also believe one has to be reasonable about the scope of one’s skills and the boundaries set by the universe. Who even knew that the following daredevil activities existed? I think after watching these, one just has to wonder!


Jumping without a parachute or wingsuit out of an airplane from 25,000 feet.

 

While that video above showed some precautionary arrangements and perhaps much forethought and practice the next video is totally insane.


First off, while some of the drivers in this video are obviously frequent visitors of the Nürburgring, not all of them are pros. Most of these drivers get to enjoy a day on the “Green Hell” during the Touristenfahrten sessions, or “public driving” sessions. In case you didn’t know, the Nürburgring Nordschleife is considered to be a public toll road by the German government. This means that for about $40, any street-legal vehicle in safe condition can take a lap of the famed course. The vast majority of the Nürburgring Nordschleife has no speed limit during these public sessions, so yes, you can go as fast as you want. And that speed plus a wet track can catch even the most seasoned driver off guard. Via
