So right now I'm seeing two main ideas as to when it should be attempted: Early July and the last day of the project.
My inclination is to go with early July-- that gives me a little over 3 months to prepare AND should I fail during my first attempt (a very legitimate possibility) the chance to give it another go if that's what we want to do.
Also, just looked at the calendar-- July 2nd is a Saturday. That gets my vote.
Thoughts?

July 2nd sounds good as long as you start working out immediately... And not slack off like some of the other tasks ><

I think the idea of taking pain killers while you're doing it is interesting...as long as you don't get drowsy They always make me drowsy.

might not be a good idea to drug him before he attempts a world record. what kind of painkillers are we talking about?

The 2nd of July sounds good Dan. :-) I would recommend that you start training as soon as possible as this is going to take a huge effort. Plus once you have an idea about your fitness we will be able to set a more specific date.

Also, just looked at the calendar-- July 2nd is a Saturday. That gets my vote. Thoughts? This is Bran Down, Dan Brown's totally evil clone here to tell you that Dan has been taken hostage by alien mercenaries I hired to abduct him, bring him to Area 51, and anally probe him. He as since lost his mind and now spends his days blubbering about rubber duckies and teletubbies, and chewing his toenails. Fear not, fanbois and girlz (of which the internet has none and are just mythical rumours spread by nasty IRL people to get us offline. Theyre just jealous. so they tell us tales of love and sex to hack our WoW accounts. Fear not, they will be taken care of. We have plenty of space at Area 51) I have personally taken over D3P0 and will be accepting tasks starting this afternoon. One small change, however, the project will now be called BDSM, or Bran Down's Super Mind. Talk to you all soon! In the meantime enjoy all the BDSM you can handle! Wait huh?!? Me thinks you are on crack...

I agree with Dan, the last day of the project may not be a good idea. July 2 sounds good.

I just got back from pogo sticking for an hour straight-- first time doing that in a few years. It went pretty well though. I'm starting to get pumped about this record attempt :]
I've plugged July 2nd into the calendar as the attempt date. In tomorrow's d3p0 I'll announce it to the masses. Thanks for your help SPOTM!
