Yahoo Picks! - Extreme Accounting

Face it -- today's extreme sports are tired and boring. Anyone with a pulse can free dive off an observation deck. But how many people can finish an audit by the time they parachute into the traffic intersection? Let Arnold Chiswick, certified CPA and Major of the First Airborne Insolvency Division, introduce you to the exciting world of Extreme Accounting. Peruse the gallery to see some of today's brightest extreme accounting stars practicing their craft: balancing spreadsheets on a sheer cliff face, rolling returns in the cockpit of a F-15, or controlling in a luge run. You're also invited to investigate an exhaustive history of the sport. And if you've got a taste for danger, along with some columns to square, go ahead and send in your own snapshot. But first, be sure that you're impeccably turned out.
