For a second, I thought this story was about Claude. Oooops.

It couldn't have been Claude. The Coast Guard wouldn't bother rescuing him. They'd outsource the task to Riffle's Rescue Service.

Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
So that blind people can hate them as well.

  Yes, a shrink should take a look at him as well, make sure he isn't a nutter!

  It seems like a waste of money to me...we already know Claude is a "nutter".

If it was Claude, Greenpeace would have harpooned him themselves and turned him over to Japanese whaling ships.

lol ... trying to go 1,033 miles in what amounts to a hamster ball. Who'd a thunk it?

The "Hydro Pod" is a large bubble made of 3-mm- (0.11-inch)-thick plastic, Baluchi's website, "Run With Reza" says. The bubble, which he propelled forward by running inside and pushing it with his arms, was housed in a large aluminum-type frame studded at intervals with inflated soccer balls. A man who appears on a video during the bubble's construction compares it to a hamster wheel.

Yes, he must have spent a good hour or two planning that one?

Might pay to check him for ice-addiction as well?

I suggest he be asked (required) to pay the cost of rescuing him. He was asked not to try this stunt....so let him pay the Coast Guard's costs.

I agree. It was an incredibly stupid stunt.

And guys, I can dish it out, but I can't take it. If I had tried that stunt, it would have read "Claude Whitacre takes a trip in the ocean in a bubble suit...and he took 1,000 candy bars, sandwiches, Mountain Dew...and hired someone to do the peddling.....In fact, Whitacre was barely involved at all....although he keeps trying to take all the credit"

It's all fun or amusing to me - and a good relief from the darned dailies.

  Isn't anyone even considering that Claude might not need that big hamster wheel to pull this off?

  I don't know what you are insinuating, young lady.....
  
  And I think this response will be funnier, if I just stop here.

  Sharks would like that, they would get Claude and loads of candy in one mouthful, not to mention it will be like popping candy.
