OK.... Here's something you don't see everyday.... A man in Oregon flying 200 miles in his lawn chair ... via balloons...



For those REALLY curious, here's the full AP story:

What would have made it perfect is if he would have had a small portable TV mounted to it... kind of the ultimate couch potato, stuck in his chair, no matter what...... (hmmm... a little reminiscent of Wall-E, don't you think?)

If this is the same guy he apparently dropped his camera while in flight and someone found it and returned it to him. The footage was amazing. I think that man was from Washington State though
