Hello everybody, I’m SignalMan. A newly registered Wikipedian here that has taken on a really high interest into this site and all of its amazing articles and facts, it took a while to understand the format that is used to create such articles. I started off creating the article for Falling scream a description of a sound mostly used in cartoons to describe falling stuff. Now I have created several original articles that worked in relevance.

Travel Projects
During times when I do have the time i go around New York City through the MTA's transit system to far off places and at great distances never before attempted with normal public transportation.
Coney Island Excursion c. 2005
The first long-distant public transportation attempt was in taking the length of the F-line from 169th street (where he lives around) to Coney Island Station before the summer opening of Astroland.
Four Corners c. 2007
Four Corners is the name of the attempt to make it out to the four furthermost stations in the city. There were some attempts but failed due to time constraints but finally the last attempt was a success and was documented in a video short; Distant Minute #17 [1]. These are the destinations that took place.
- Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue (New York City Subway)
- Wakefield–241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)
- Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue (IND Rockaway Line)
- Tottenville (Staten Island Railway station) via Staten Island Ferry
Tottenville Mountauk Route 2008
The Tottenville-Mountauk Route will be the latest in one of the public transit travel events of this year. It will be the longest attempt to travel exclsivily by bus from Totttenville, New York to the small town of Montauk in Long Island

Trivia
- Despite what the userbox says, I'm considered a "Faithful Agnostic". Mostly as a result of age and learning the more things are 'fucked up' it is my conclusion that there could be a supreme being but I don't worship anyone with the track record of what George Carlin would say as... "A spooky, incompetent Father-figure who doesn't really give a shit".
