Apparently it's no longer allowed to climb and/or jump from high building in New York City. This is not to stop adventureseeking people from - and hang on now - falling to their deaths, but to stop unnecessary use of rescue services and such. Of course... if you start climbing up a building or jump from one, then you probably have some sort of deathwish anyway...
Where was I? Oh right. The Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has made an exception to this law though for the "break-out artist" David Blaine. For 60 hours he's going to hang upside down over a skating rink in Central Park. 60 hours. Upside down.
It might just be me... but hanging upside down for 60 hours doesn't really seem like that much fun. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to jump of a building actually, but 60 hours upside down... There is no way I could manage that and still be alive afterwards.
Blaine has earlier spent 72 hours trapped in ice and 44 days without food in a cube made of plexiglass, so maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just not tough enough. Or maybe my levels of serotonin are high enough to give me joy without killing myself in the process. Because between you and me - I'm rather happy standing with both my two feet on the ground. ;-)
