Tourists, Please, Don't Jump!

Some poor fellow (a 21-year-old Texan, in fact) committed suicide by jumping from the Empire State building last night. And, apparently, we can blame it on the rain.

"Police believe the man, who was alone, was able to get over the barriers because there were fewer than 10 people on the deck due to the rain," reports the New York Post.

Come on, guys, let's hang in there till Thursday, okay? Tonight there's a even little "PM sun" expected -- whatever that means.

Also, no playing that game where you drop pennies off the top of tall buildings and watch them plunge two feet deep into the concrete below. Regardless of what John Stossel says, we at the Voice feel that the gods of gravity are not to be trifled with.

And while we're on the subject, can we all agree that Sleepless in Seattle was a terrible movie?
