Two famous men went on tandem skydives yesterday. One did it for his 88th birthday, and to raise awareness of ending childhood hunger. The other did it probably for the same reason most of us did – to have something to tweet about.

Former U.S. Senator and 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern jumped at Skydive Space Center in Titusville, FL. Full story at Florida Today.

And then this guy jumped in Australia …

The world's biggest twit is now one of us.

Which one are you more excited to call a fellow skydiver now?
