I saw the human spiderman climbing the New York Times building today. They blocked off the street around the building. It was pretty amazing. I watched him climb to the top, and then get arrested. A guy who works in the Times building showed me a picture of the guy from the inside of the building. He looked like a regular guy in street clothes with no gear whatsoever. He was talking on his cell phone, while climbing. Hilarious.
