About the man who flew 193 miles in his lawn chair using 100 helium balloons? Hmmm, the amateur scientist in me wonders how many balloons would it take to float a preschooler?
Four eighteen inch helium balloons will float 27 legos. They couldn't float our 1/2 lb apple or our .2 lb lego sculpture. I have a feeling it would be extremely expensive to try and float a person. Also dangerous, as my super-sensible spouse pointed out.
That man lives in my town! I have never met him, but I find the story very entertaining. I wonder if the guy has kids. Rumor has it the ranchers where he crashed were less than amused. I would have loved it if I were them, just to have the story to tell.
