news.aol.com/article/daredevil-scales-hong-kong-skyscraper/345713 The article is about a French man who climbed a 73 story Hong Kong building as a protest. Without any sort of climbing equipment! He's gotten in trouble before, but this time he was questioned and let go. Definately amazing, but he has more balls than brains I'd say.

Thats a very good observation Demona. There are many exaples of how stupidity is mistaken for bravery.
He got that 73rd floor in about 40 minutes and doesn't use climbing equipment at all. That's pretty amazing.
More dumb than nobil though.

Death defying people eventually meet their undoing.
Does it prove anything? Other than your name gets in some history books.

I think thats something that you probably have to be hypnotized to do.

Just one? The bar needs to be a little higher. At least get a case of Klondike Bars.

I can't imagine that being heroic it's silly to me. It's his life though. Just I wish he would value it more than that.

I gotta say, it's a good way for him to get attention for his cause. Shame he lacks real causes to get attention for though.

I think Slayer has a good point. I've told my kids that a streaker gets attention but not necessarily in a good way.

I've seen a dockumentary on this guy. It's more like his hobby, like collecting snowglobes...

I think collecting Snow Globes would be a less dangerous hobby.

What if you dropped one and slipped on the mess and fell into your whole collection?

You're trying too hard. He'd do it for a Klondike Bar if we brought up the right scenario.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I was mixing the Klondyke commercials with the York Peppermint Patties.
