    I find that film rather beautiful and uplifting.

    Very cute, and I found that there was a good message in there. Would you die for your dreams? Actually, that'll be my question of the day.

    I was thinking this would be a thread about the demise of the poor SS kiwi. Truely a shame.

    But I like it. It goes along with one of my mottos: There's always annother way.

    I liked it as well, actually. He has done something that is the kiwi genes (fly like a bird) and no other kiwi has ever done so.

    I must be tired though, I totally didn't understand what he was nailing, and what it had to do with him flying.

    Me too. Would have been great with the "boing" sound effect.

    As for the day's deep question, I'd say I probably wouldn't die for my dreams. Most of my dreams involve me driving someting. Of course I could die in a crash, but I always tell people that I'd die happy.
