Walking through Bryant Park today I saw a huge crowd looking at something on the 5th ave. end. It turned out to be David Blaine who was standing on a pole about a hundred feet up. He looked like he was talking on his cell phone the whole time. More interesting was the crazy who was yelling to the crowd that "he has a mechanical arm! That's a mechanical arm he's wiggling around up there!!!" I couldn't figure out why a guy on a giant pole would need a mechanical arm. He's going to jump into some cardboard boxes at 10:00pm tonight after 36 hours up there. Maybe the arm will help somehow.
