at first i thought it was stupid. But I really kind of dug it as the video progressed. Now . . . I think it's Jangle!

1) If this isn't a hoax, it's just fucking awesome
2) This cannot become an official Olympic event fast enough.
3) I wanna see one of these guys streaking a fundamentalist mass-christening, where they are dunking the heads in a river. That'd mess with people...

Oh, I'm 100% positive it IS a hoax.

But that doesn't change that it's fucking awesome.

I'd be tempted to show this to my 3 y.o. son, but he's still pissed he can't fly like a bird when he jumps off of the couch. This'd be courting disaster.

Call me crazy, but I think Jesus will be pissed when he finds out about this - what with "adventure athletes" treading on his "turf" and all...

Much like Evil Knievel jumping buses on a Sportster, Jesus will just point out how spoiled the kids are these days. "We didn't have water repellent shoes back then, man. I did that shit IN SANDALS!!!"

And already, the split between "New Rules" and "Old Rules" water-walking has occured....

The records for "who went first" and "who walked the farthest" on water will remain, but the guys with waterproof shoes will have an asterisk put after their record data...

I know, when I confirmed that it was a hoax, a little light of hope went out. However when I heard that in the video it made me happy again.

I'm picturing slightly concave, slightly larger than footprint sized, "flippers" for lack of a better term.
