Man Claiming To Be Superman Hospitalized After Leaping From 4th Floor Wind
<snip>

GRAZ, Austria --A man who claimed he was Superman and could fly was hospitalized early Tuesday after leaping from a fourth-floor window, authorities said.

Paramedics rushed the 23-year-old man to a hospital in the city of Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, after he jumped from a window and suffered head and back injuries, police said.

They said the man -- who apparently had drunk several bottles of red wine before attempting the jump -- appeared at the window ledge at around 4 a.m. and shouted: "I am Superman! Nothing can happen to me!"

The jumper, whose name was not released, landed on part of a lower section and roof, sparing him from more serious injuries, authorities said.

2. That reminds me of Airplane!
"Honey, do you remember that time we got in the family car, and drove on down to Woodstock?"

"Oh, that was a time. And you got hold of that bad acid - you didn't come down for two weeks! You kept telling everyone that you were Jesus Christ, and then you jumped off that roof 'cause you thought you could fly!"

"What a bummer."

"No shit!"

4. I thought this had to be a thread about George Bush.

5. He should have checked the wine's label before jumping
"Grüner Kryptoniter 2004"
