SOMERSET, Great Britian -- In this picture released by MPL International Ltd, Thursday June 30, 2005, adventurers Bear Grylls, 30 and Lieutenant Commander Alan Veal, 34, are the diners enjoying a dinner party suspended from a balloon at a height of nearly 24.262 ft (7395 meters) flying over Somerset, England. The pair were making a successful attempt to break the world record for the highest formal dinner party. The previous record was held by adventurer Henry Shelford, who held his dinner party 22,326ft (6805 meters) up a Tibetan mountain in 2004. (07/06/05 AP Photo/MPL International Ltd/ho)

Sorry, but their record attempt will fail.

Everyone knows that a formal dinner requires a proper dinner-helmet.  Those guys are wearing lunch helmets.

Not nearly enought things to do.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

Headline the following day, "Diner knocks champagne bottle off table, kills farmer and one sheep."

Somehow I can't believe that no one has ever had a formal dinner party higher than 25,000 feet on a plane.
