It's not flying, it's called "Parkour" and the Hulk does it often. =)

I have no idea what you could call what The Tick does.

The smallest cat we have in the house (Rocket) lands like a ton of bricks even from just a countertop.

Junior (by far the biggest) jumps down from the top of a book case and goes "thip".

WHAM....BHAM..... Thank you mam - I'll have a double with water on the side.

Still gotta be safer than "planking"...

BTW, Monica just revealed that she is now 31. Is this relevant? I mean, if she (like Shelly, for that matter) is a supernatural being now (I note both are now sporting fangs), is age even an issue? Are they now not also immortal beings?

Just because you're immortal doesn't mean that crossing the Thirties Threshold isn't traumatic...

Especially since you have to die to get younger...

On top of moving cars and such like.

Moving cars?! That's news to me; then again, I haven't paid much attention to planking ever since I heard of it.

I knew petite 4'6" girls who can walk down a hall at 100 decibels. And 6'2", 250 pound men who could startle you out of two years growth by walking up behind you.

A lot is in how you smack your heel (or toes) down.

The type of sole on your shoes helps a lot as well. A woman's high heels can make a lot of noise on a hard surface while soft flats make little sound. A good reason why sneakers have their name.

Gummo Marx got his nickname because he "gumshoed" around backstage and startled people.
