Why do people do anything silly? I just watched the IMAX "Everest" film, which documents a climb done during the mountain's most deadly season ever.
11 people died on Everest as a result of a storm. Why did they do it?
Wasn't it Hillary who answered with the immortal "Because it is there"?
People do things because they want to see if they *can* do things. Of course, in Blaine's case, the whole stunt is likely as not to be some sort of hoax or trick, rather than an actual 46 day stint without food...that's what he does, and does well.
