Adventure Quote by Michael Scott
““John,be reasonable," Virginia said. "I've known Billy a very long time, and we have had some great adventures together. He's as close as I have to a friend.When he dies, which he will,sooner or later,because he can be so stupid," she added, glaring at the American immortal, "it should be with a degree of dignity,rather than being fed to this...this thing ." "Thanks," Billy wheezed. "You're welcome.And you owe me." "I'll remember." Virginia turned back to Dee. "I'll make a deal." "For what?" he demanded. "For Billy's life," she said evenly. "Do you forget who you're dealing with?" Dee snarled. "Do you ?" she asked softly.””

I've also done some gravity tests with ZERO-G [a charter-flight service in Arlington, Va., that uses modified Boeing 727s to simulate weightlessness], which went great.” quote by Richard Branson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aa1/richard-branson-256_adventure_i-ve-used-the-phoenix-centrifuge-to-repl_903.jpg)
