Anyone remember the Darwin Award story about the guy who attached weather balloons along with himself to a lawn chair and quickly reached an altitude of something like 15,000 feet? Apparently a Pan Am pilot saw this and radioed it in. I can't remember who rescued him but when he came down to earth it cost him a sh--load money in fines.
