meet spiderman

alain robert, a.k.a. spiderman, was arrested today in sao paulo when he was on his way down from the top of the italia tower, a 150m-high skyscraper in downtown s.p. the man had been arrested a few days earlier when he was on his way to the top of the tower, and now has been asked to leave the country within the next 8 days before he is deported.

robert has become the best solo climber in the world. using nothing but his bare hands, he's climbed the eiffel tower, the petrona towers in kuala lumpur, the sears tower, the empire state, the golden gate... and by climbing i mean reaching the peak and then coming all the way down. this is absurd!!
