String David Blaine up by his ankles!
So you've probably heard that David Blaine is hanging upside down in Central Park right now. He's doing this for 60 hours. Why he's doing this, I'm not sure, but CBS shot some video Monday and posted unedited footage on their Web site.
Here's something I didn't realize, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog: Apparently, David Blaine gets to take breaks. So it's not just 60 hours of hanging upside down. He gets right-side-up time.
Yes, I know the guy needs to eat and use the bathroom, and keep the blood from pooling in his cranium. But it seemed a far more impressive feat when I thought he was upside down for 60 consecutive hours.
ABC is airing a special on this tonight, so you can watch even more of this later.

For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
