Last weekend, Oregon gas station owner Kent Couch took off on a 193 mile solo flight -in a lawn chair attached to 105 helium balloons! He took along food and drinks, a bb gun, and a parachute. His flight, reminiscent of Larry Walters flight in 1982, reached an altitude of 13,000 feet and lasted nine hours. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OR_FLYING_LAWN_CHAIR_OROL-?SITE=ORSAL&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT -via Fark

You go, Murdoch!
besides, how do you end up busting something that was reported by 5 airline pilots, videotaped, and the man got a citation from the FAA over? it already happened, they were just seeing how.

I didn't have any of those brass reinforcement-thingys so I used a thumb tack until it was done, then stapled it. Works great, plus the point is sharp enough to go thru the paper without extra tearing.
