My ridiculous records for the Bird's Nest

The latest gimmick for bringing people and their money to the empty Bird's Nest stadium is a high-wire act. The performer aims to spend five hours a day on the high wire and the rest of his 60-day stint living in a hut on the stadium roof.

He hopes to set world records for the most cumulative time on a high wire and the longest time spent living above the ground.

Local authorities hope this two-month spectacle will bring in enough money to keep the stadium from becoming construction rubbish.
