The boy in the bubble - New York version

David Blaine, the escapist, has decided to lock himself in a giant bubble of water in Lincoln Center Square for nine days, at the end of which he will escape from chains while holding his breath for a record nine minutes.

There are so many things wrong with this that I can't even begin to start naming them.

At least there are a few people left who realize that dogs are more interesting than crazy, fame seeking people.
Where does he go to the bathroom?, you ask. In a tube.
How does he eat? Drink? Again, through tubes.
Is he going to be all pruny when he comes out? What about sun protection?
His mom must be so proud. I can hear her now at her weekly bridge game, "Oh, my sweet David. He's gone and put himself inside a giant ball of water. I guess all those times he held his breath to get his way as a child finally paid off. His father and I are soooo proud!"
