Earlier today, an idiot a professional building climber scaled the New York Times Building in NYC.

Alain Robert, a French stuntman known for climbing tall buildings, scaled the north face of the New York Times building on Thursday, ascending 52 stories to the roof and clutching a bright green banner, before police officers arrested him around 12:22 p.m. Robert’s banner and mission were to create awareness against global warming.

As I write this, there’s another idiot an unknown individual scaling the same building - currently around the 45th floor of a 52nd floor building. The copycat dude is reported not to be associated in any way or form with the first one. As well, his mission/cause is unknown.

Well, here’s to hoping he makes it.

Update: He reached the top and was immediately arrested by the police.

As police officers escorted him out of a service elevator, under arrest, the man identified himself as Ray Clark, 32, an information technology worker and “urban climber” from Brooklyn. He said he had climbed three other buildings in New York City. It was not immediately possible to independently confirm the name. He wore a white T-shirt with the slogan “Malaria No More” in blue letters. (Source: NY Times)

Ah yes, life in the city. Don’tcha love it?

Armed with a new video camera and her trusty Nikon, Lisa hit the open roads of rural, upstate New York - putting together this video - the first she’s ever done. Overlaid with a foot-stomping and catchy soundtrack - I give you “My Town.”

Very cool Lis!
