stunt a dud

Blaine, 35, ended his latest stunt by appearing to vanish from the structure where he had spent nearly three days -- most of it hanging head down.

Having completed the promised 60-hour period, he leapt from the metal frame holding his cable, then was hoisted back into the dark sky, giving the impression of disappearing.

Some in the crowd attending the finish grumbled that Blaine exaggerated his feat, because he wasn't actually inverted the whole time.

During much of the period he stopped for regular breaks on his feet -- as often as once an hour -- to drink liquids, urinate and undergo medical checks.

"I am totally unimpressed," Joshua Yoselowitz, a 31-year-old banker, told AFP. "I'd rather be at home. If his name hadn't been David Blaine I would never have come."

Undoubtedly the hanging stunt was a physical and mental test.

The daredevil magician has previously spent 72 hours encased in ice, 44 days in a plexiglass box, a week under water, and been buried alive. But he told AFP at the start of the challenge Monday that he'd faced nothing harder.

Blaine apparently did not sleep for two nights and he spent nearly the whole period suspended the wrong way from a wire attached to a body harness and special boot clips.

His doctors had described a very real danger of blindness and swelling of the brain.

Several hundred fans cheered at the climax, which was broadcast live on ABC television.

But Blaine did not stick to what many assumed would be the strict format.

Instead of permanently hanging upside down, Blaine took numerous rest breaks on a platform brought to him by a hydraulic boom.

During one such moment, a few hours before the finale, he spent 20 minutes on his feet.

First he could be seen drinking an orange liquid, then he urinated behind a sheet held up by an assistant, and then he underwent an eye and heart check by a medical attendant.

An hour later he took another, briefer time-out.

The pauses brought howls of derision from some in the crowd.

"Oh, so this is where the magic comes in," said one heckler.

"Come on, do a trick!" shouted another.

New York tabloid the Daily News passed its own verdict, saying: "Some folks are already saying the achievement should be marked with an asterisk."

ABC, the US network that owned the live TV rights, brushed aside the issue in its two-hour live coverage of the ending to the stunt, dubbed the "Dive of Death."

When Blaine was brought to stand on the platform for his final dive, the ABC presenter inaccurately announced: "You can see David turned upright for the first time in 60 hours."

Yet fans inspired by Blaine's eye-popping card tricks and powers of illusion said complaints were mean-spirited.

"I think he's awesome. He's giving to his fans, he's showing he can do whatever he believes he can and we're here to support him," said David Mercado, a 39-year-old construction worker. "Give the guy a chance!"

Maria Romedo, 58, agreed. "You can do it David!" she shouted.

Blaine says his hero is Harry Houdini, the legendary escapologist of the late 19th and early 20th century, who amazed New York crowds by hanging upside down from skyscrapers and cranes in a straightjacket.

Other than the publicity-grabbing stunts, Blaine is known for pulling off illusions, including transforming a homeless man's cup of coffee into one overflowing with coins, and appearing to have magically removed a distraught-looking woman's front teeth.

COMPUTER PROBLEM

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard, the 11
year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him
to
come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the
problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was
wrong?"

He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,
"An, ID ten T
error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again."

Richard grinned.... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T
error before?"

"No," I replied.

"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll
figure it out."

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like the little shit.............

family vacation

There’s no doubt about it... vacations can be totally terrific. They’re a chance to get closer to the people you love and make lifelong memories. But they can also be very strange times when emotions and expectations run high, and little disappointments can lead to big fights.

A vacation is like a magnifying glass on your family that makes everything about your life together -- the good stuff, the bad stuff, and all the stuff in between -- seem a hundred times bigger. I'm hoping this one is a good one.

bath tub test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director
how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her
to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use
the
bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do
you want a bed near the window?"

New truck

I bought a new GMC Denali crew cab and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman

explained that the radio was voice activated. " Nelson ," the salesman said to the radio.

The radio replied," Ricky or Willie ?" " Willie !" he continued and "On The Road Again" came

from the speakers. Then he said, " Ray Charles !" and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say,

"Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles, I'd get one of their awesome songs

Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck,

but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "Idiots!" Immediately the

French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara

Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry

on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on

tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on Scotch.

I LOVE this truck!!!
