Obviously not...
Strangely enough this is what I was going to post yesterday. Odd how things work out.

I've always wanted to try that. I'd do it away from the ocean though. Less swimming to get to shore and avoid nasty sharks and jellyfish.

So this stunt was intended to raise money for a charitable fund. Interesting.... but how much will the rescue effort cost?

Yes, they did that, and it was true. They also did one based on the popular cartoon gimmick of a child holding a bunch of party balloons and floating away. If I remember correctly, it took around 3500 balloons to lift a 4-year-old girl.

That was another myth, something about carnival balloons and a small child. This one was done in an earlier show, where they place Adam in a lawn chair and lift him with weather balloons. He was equipped with a bb pistol to shoot the balloons and lower his altitude.

That's what I've been doing wrong. I'm trying to woo them with my personality, when I really should be spewing chicken soup on their faces. Thanks!
