Florida Man Tried to Walk On Water to New York in an Aquatic Hamster Wheel But Washed AshoreEarlier this week, sheriffs responded to reports of a strange bubble vehicle that washed ashore in Hammock Beach, Florida. It turned out that the strange "hamster wheel" barrel-like vehicle with floatation buoys on each end was owned by ultramarathon runner Reza Baluchi, who tried to use it to walk on water all the way to New York."The occupant advised he left the St Augustine area yesterday to head to New York," the Flagler County Sheriff's Office reported on Facebook, "but came across some complications that brought him back to shore.""The US coast guard was contacted and arrived on scene to take over the case and ensure the vessel/occupant are USCG compliant for their safety moving forward."According to Baluchi's website, he planned to use his seafaring hamster wheel dubbed the 'hydro pod bubble' to walk to Bermuda - a trip of 1,051 miles (1,690 km) - while bringing with him a "White House flag to display" and surviving on "protein bars, tuna, sea water purified through a filter, Gatorade and chewing gum for sea sickness."Images: Flagler County Sheriff's Office#bubblevehicle #oceanvessel #hamsterwheel #bubble #Florida #Bermuda #walk #walkonwater

Why Did the Gator Cross the Street?To get away from those pesky cranes!Florida resident Mallery Neptune, posted the video clip of the encounter at Lakefront Park in St. Cloud, central Florida. "Well, you know you live in Florida when the cranes are chasing an alligator across the street," Neptune said on the video clip, "The crane wins. He changed his mind. Go back to the pond, buddy, it's hot today."#alligator #gator #crane #Florida
