Gary Sinise and Laura Hillenbrand
Where does this guy get his energy?

Man caught floating toward Niagara Falls on a chunk of ice – says he fell asleep on an air matress while resting, “…and the next thing he knew he was on the river.” Let’s break this down. What better place to lay down for a nap than on a big chunk of ice along the Niagara River…in March…at night…on an air mattress? Media sources say he, “…might have been trying to get to the United States when the ice chunk he was on broke loose;” he was heard screaming for help about a mile and a half from the border and about 25 feet from shore. Apparently, he is a Spanish citizen, and had once lived in the U.S. before being kicked out. Canadian officials are holding him, and consider him a float risk. (Reuters)
