"مطلبی درباره ی David Blaine"
امروز تو مجله خوندم که آقای دیوید خان، که میگن "هری هودینی ِ" معاصره، قراره 5 سپتامبر یه کار جدید انجام بده! میخواد به مدت 44 روز تمام، تو یه محفظه به طول هفت فوت، ارتفاع هفت فوت و عرض سه فوت، بالای رودخونه ی Thames (در لندن) آویزون بشه!! تنها چیزی هم که تو این 44 روز خواهد داشت ایناس: لباس، یه پتو و آب! نه غذا، نه ارتباط با آدمیزاد و هیچ گونه صدایی :)
خوب حالا دلیل بنفش کردن سال اولیهای بیچاره:
The year was 1976, and the darkness had fallen. The brave men of the British Royal Navy were powered by equally brave men of the Royal Engineering Corps. They were the only people working tirelessly to keep her Majesty's ships running from the ends of the Earth. These were hard times for everyone. The enemy was stronger than we knew. So that they might be identified as engineers, each officer proudly displayed a bright purple patch on his right arm, just below the shoulder. Because of the sweat, grime and bilge water in the engineer's work environment, a good portion of the purple dye would inevitably be transferred into the engineer's skin. Thus, even in the rare moments when they were out of their uniforms, the engineer still wore the mark of his profession. Royal Engineers would often go down with fallen ships in last-ditch efforts to slow the sinking process so that more people might escape, survive, and be saved. As a badge of honour, and as a reminder of those who have gone before us, we temporarily mark ourselves with the colour that expresses our pride in our history.
