i always knew colorado was a bastion for weirdos and idiots (cept you kyle). A six-year old kid, today climbed inside a 20ft accross and 5ft high helium balloon made out of tin foil that he and his father built. the purspose of the balloon? not really sure i think the dad wants to be bill paxton and fly inside some tornado with it cause he's "an amateur scientinst" and participant in that show wife swap according to CNN and probably himself. the sad part of the story is that once the balloon gracefuly made its way to the ground, the kid was gone. no one knew what happened to him, till they looked in the attic, and there he was. hiding the whole time. he never even went in the thing. he claimed his dad yelled at him for trying to get in it. surprisingly they are already scheduled to apear on larry king live in thursday. guess the parents are gonna get another shot at fame among people who watch tv all day and enjoy larry king and wife swap.
if you want and are bored, the NY times has a time summary of the whole thing here.
or just read it here.
