"Body of Missing Brazil `Balloon Priest' Found at Sea (Update1)
By Jeb Blount
July 4 (Bloomberg) -- The body of a Brazilian priest who tried to break a record for flying suspended by helium balloons was found in the Atlantic Ocean near Rio de Janeiro more than two months after he disappeared. "

"Couch, 48, was making his third attempt to fly from Bend to Boise in a Lafuma recliner tethered to a cluster of oversize helium-filled balloons. But winds carried him a bit north of his goal, toward McCall about 100 miles away. He said before the flight that he'd be happy just to hit Idaho.
By that measure, the flight was a success. And Couch outdid his performance from a year ago, when his aluminum-reinforced craft carried him only as far as Oregon's Union County. A flight in 2006 ended with Couch parachuting to the ground. "

'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison
