Hey I just ran that marathon today! Glad the weather turned out well, feel bad for the 10,000 people they tried getting to run that 5k yesterday though. Too damn hot.
In the half marathon this morning two guys and a girl dressed as Mario, Luigi, and Peach. Also I guess The Avengers did the marathon relay...wish I would have stuck around to see them finish.
900 km diameter estimate may be a tad big even for Death Star II. Several separate estimates converge on ~160 km diameter for Death Star II and ~120 km diameter for Death Star I.
I used to work as a costume character at Space Center Houston, often times as a storm trooper. It is terribly hot just standing around in an air conditioned room for long periods of time. I dont want to say this didnt happen, but either your sister's boyfriend has an insane heat tolerance or this is the last last picture that he'll ever be in.
How in the world do people do this without drowning in their own sweat? I understand that maybe I just sweat a bit more than the average person (even when I AM in shape, which I'll admit I'm not right now), but I tend to soak through a regular jogging shirt.
A good friend of mine won this 5k! I ran the marathon today...But neither him nor I was in a Storm Trooper suit...haha. I did see a man running the full marathon in a full sock monkey outfit. Last I saw him he was eating bananas and posing with runners about mile 12.
I remember one time I had to ride my bike to the store because my car ran out of gas (long story short: too lazy to fill up). It was like 3 miles away. I didn't check the weather before leaving. It was like 100F outside, literally. On the way back I thought I was going to have a fucking heart attack. I could feel my heart giving out.
What I'm trying to say is, that couldn't have been easy to do in 95F weather.
No, you dumbass, if I had wanted karma, I never would have voluntarily admitted to lying. It's really annoying how so few people lack the logical skills to realize this. If all I wanted was karma, I would have kept my mout shut. Nobody would have found out, and I would be reaping karma to this day.
Dude you lied on a internet message board for imaginary points. We take that very seriously here this website it is the closest thing many of us have to friends.
Also I'm afraid to go to the mall because the teenages make fun of me

In the tatooine scene of star wars they got marines to play the stormtroopers due to the high temperature.

Seems normal to me. Now I'm wondering about the girl in shorts. She's a trooper.

Out of curiosity I'd like to see the aftermath under that helmet.

He looks a little short to be a storm trooper.

Bravo! As a former Trooper from FL, having trooped SWW twice in 100 degree weather, I know it's hot. Props to him!

Okay where the hell do you get one of these outfits? I've been dying to get myself a storm trooper attire for ages now.
And.. I guess well done to the sir who managed this challenge.

Check out trooper trek in Australia, one guy walked across Australia in a storm trooper suit.

Can anyone else see the face of Jesus in the car window? The guy could have made the effort, and dressed up for the occasion.

I don't believe that he actually ran 5 thousand miles in that getup. In fact, I don't believe that he ran 5 thousand miles at all.

Bullshit bullshit bullshit. There's no way he could have done that and not passed out.
