Default Not fishing related...the lawnchair pilot

Many of you have likely heard variations of the story about the guy who tied 45 weather balloons to his lawn chair and shot 16,000 feet into the Los Angeles skies.

Well, on Art Bell last night they announced this web page dedicated to the story. The most interesting part of this page is that they have actual CB communications between him and his "ground crew" and then with air traffic controllers. You will need Real Audio to hear it, but it is well worth the read and listen.

For more stories like this one check out the official Darwin Awards website.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled fishing chat.
