Are you serious, c'mon.

I'm no stranger to writing about absurdly dangerous things we humans have devised for no other real reason than to try it out and see if it works. Like making a train so big it can't turn corners, or cars with 6 steering wheels.

Case in point. There has been a bit of media attention given to one Reverend Adelir Antonio de Carli, of Brazil, who strapped himself into a chair attached to many brightly coloured helium filled balloons. Apparently you can have enough of these balloons to get some serious flight out of it because the good father skyrocketed to 20, 000 feet before being blown off course. Sadly, he hasn't been since yesterday, not long after takeoff.

You may remember the fellow with the lawn chair and weather balloons, Larry Walters?
