They'll be looking out for laser pointer from now on. He thought he was going to be shot and panicked

# *Copied this off another site*
The rumours are that David Blaine won't stay in the box for the full 44 days. He is a master of publicity, and a huge fan of Houdini. Apparently after a short period of time (7 - 14 days) a pre-arranged accident will happen, e.g. the support cable snapping, and the box David Blaine is in will fall into the river and sink.... of course they will make a big thing that they locked him in the box at the start, so him escaping and being "rushed" to hospital will just create more media attention.

# his intial plan
had been to do an escape from a box dropped in thames anyway so I wouldn't be surprised.

# I've
just got back from the Lake District and was playing a cd of that song - when we came up to traffic lights, some people walking by, stopped and started doing the dance.

Yay!

# Teehee.
I was thinking of a video of that song - loads of people dressed up as badgers, doing the dance and wandering through Oxford Circus - every now and again a man in a snake suit appears - and off they run.

And then start again.

My idea would be a small girl pestering her mum going, "badger badger" and then the mum screaming in frustration, "mushroom."

# From that page!
What do you think of David Blaine's imprisonment?

It's magic (5%)
It's a great feat (19%)
It's just a big publicity stunt (31%)
He should be left up there (45%)
