I'm glad you asked.

Legend tells of a man, a great man; His name was Danny Osman. Standing almost 10 feet tall, this behemoth of a man was said to have climbed Lovers Leap with nothing but his teeth. But on that very day, tragedy struck. For all his strengths, Danny Osman had one great weakness: his insatiable desire for more adrenaline. Having done everything in the world already, there was only one thing left for him to do. He needed to jump off a cliff. But this couldn't be any ordinary jump. Over his 300+ years of life (Scholars maintain his exact age was lost many many years ago), Danny Osman had partaken in many similar activities such as bungy jumping, or cliff diving into an ocean. Once in his life, he was believed to have gone skydiving without a parachute, only to land in the middle of the Atlantic where he swam back to California....but that's a whole different story.

Danny osman Spent all day climbing lovers leap with his teeth until he finally reached the top. Once he got there, he devised a scheme for jumping off the top in the most extraordinary way. he would string up rope from 2 peaks and, and jump off with a normal climbing rope attached to him, and the rope spanning the two peaks. However, upon reaching the top of the cliff, it started to rain. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, until the entire valley of the great yosemite was flooded. In addition to this, more than 500 Huns had invaded this otherwise peaceful land. With nothing more than climbing shoes and a chalk bag, Osman fought off the great Onslaught. After all the Huns where dead and the rain had subsided, Danny Osman was ready for his great jump. But consumed by his burning desire to invoke the greatest adrenaline rush ever, he had forgotten to double check the gear he placed for his jump. He did not notice that the equipment had been compromised in the war against the Huns and the mighty storm that had swallowed most of tranquil valley below.

He Jumped and he fell. Down down down down he went. then SNAP! Some say it was the rope, others say it was the anchors. But one thing is for certain, the omnipotent Danny Osman did not stop falling. As he disappeared into the tops of the trees, which looked like mere bushes from where he stood not 1 minute earlier. From the top of the cliff, witnesses say they did not hear a scream, nor a noise indicating his impact. Investigators searched the woods for neigh 1 year before abandoning their search for the worlds greatest adrenaline junky. To this day, his body has not been recovered. Followers of this great legend say that upon impact is soul ate his body so it would have the strength to climb for eternity. Others say he did not die at all, and that on the most unique of occasions, the great Danny Osman can still be seen climbing the great cliffs of the Yosemite Valley.

Did he really die? did the climbing gods accept him as their own? did the huns purposely sabotage his gear? To this day, no one is certain of the answers to these questions. But what we do know is that Danny Osman does live on. Perhaps not in a physical form, but within all of us. His great strength and unwavering determination drives us to accomplish more, to pull harder, to beat grades, and most importantly...To make fun of noobs everytime they do something stupid.

So the next time you are devising a plot to up the anty, remember the story of Danny Osman. Remember the man who had changed the climbing world forever and ask yourself, "What would Danny Osman do?"

The End.
