You know that house carried by balloons in 'Up'? Some guy made one

Jonathan Trappe thinks you have to try everything you see in the movies. Trappe launched himself into the air yesterday in a perfect replica of the cartoon house in the movie "Up," attached to a zillion multicolored balloons like a real-life Carl Fredericksen at the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico. Impressed? It's all just a preview of Trappe's big stunt coming next summer: He plans to cross the Atlantic in a seven-foot lifeboat suspended by 365 helium balloons. Yes, a flying boat that will cruise 2,500 miles at an altitude of 18,000 to 25,000 feet. Doubters, beware: Trappe's already made history crossing the English Channel attached to a similar cluster of party favors. [Source]
