AT college today the hot topic was "Did you see that Derren Brown bloke, wow it was so amazing I almost jizzed myself" well to be honest I didnt think it was all that impressive. He fired a blank away from himself, and granted he didnt die which is impressive, but I somehow think it was a bit dodgy. He fired two shots away from him and 3 at his head.
With only 1 bullet and 5 shots he had a 1 in 5 chance of dying, but fired two away so he only really had a 3/5 chance of dying. Thats 60%, just over half, and people have taken much bigger risks than that. Anyway it wasn't bad, but I felt it had a bit of an anti-climax. At least he got it over and done with in a few minutes instead of spending 44 days doing it like David Blaine - someone should hook their car exhaust up to his air supply.
Anyway I heard on the news this morning that a number of copycat had played Russian Roulette, unsucessfully, following Derren Browns stunt. All respect to the dead and that but ARE YOU BLOODY STUPID! Copying Jackass stuff and wrestling moves when it tells you not to is a different thing altogether. Firing a gun at your head is just plain retarded. Anyway they got what was coming... a bullet.
By the way did anyone else think the guy that loaded the gun for Derren Brown looked like Ralf Little of Royle Family fame?

No way, he flew in A BOX!
It MUST be real. I bet he flys home all the time.

How Debbie Magee is looking so healthy after being severed in two on numerous occasions is beyond me.
The next thing will be that someone will claim David Copperfield's flying ability is a hoax and a trick.

Who cares? Do you not get the point of these magic things? Tricks? You know, illusions. Sometimes it isn't the truth that's important.
At the risk of spoiling things - Star Wars wasn't really shot in space, Marlon Brando isn't in the Mafia, Santa doesn't bring the presents, it probably will hurt, and you look fat regardless of the dress.
