    Ok, that is nuts

    Wow, how did they stand still like that? Especially in such odd positions for holding drinks, and foods and such.

    that's pretty trippy. any reason why they did it?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Probably just an improv stunt...kinda like no pants on the subway day. Shock value....theatrical freedom of speech, etc.

    Pretty neat. In related news, PBS premiered a great episode of American Experience tonight about the construction of Grand Central Terminal, which celebrated its 95th birthday this past Friday. Looks like they'll be replaying it on channel 13 and 13HD this Thursday at 9pm, and it is supposed to be viewable online but it doesn't seem to be at the moment: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/grandcentral/program/
