Well, all I can tell you is that what we are doing this Friday is a surprise and you won't find out until then. See you there!!!
By the way, did you ever imagine what would happen if you had a huge bouquet of helium-filled balloons and they started to pull you up, up, up... I started thinking about balloons because of surprises and surprise birthday parties but apparently there is such a concept. It's called cluster ballooning. You wear a harness and have large, helium-filled balloons strapped to you. You release a ballast to go up and to go down again you just simply pop some of the balloons.
One of the funniest balloon flights was in 1982. Larry Walters strapped 42 helium weather balloons to his lawnchair because he thought it might lift his lawnchair a bit. Instead, he went up 16 000 feet! He actually survived this and now balloonists have even flown higher!
I WOULD CALL THIS A PRETTY EXTREME SPORT!!!
I got my information about cluster ballooning from http://www.clusterballoon.org/
