Lol, just something funky about that news story. But I guess it's real alright.

Answer 1

yup...its real. The baloon's are enough to lift the priest..

Answer 2

yeah, It is real.  I read about it the other day. They had a video on yahoo news.

Answer 3

you ever watch mythbusters on discovery channel? They did this, the strapped a ton of weather balloons to a chair and actually lifted one of the guys off the ground. Weather balloons though, they're huge. And they did it in a warehouse with the weight of a little girl, and it took thousands of balloons to get the weight of a little 5 year old off the ground. It's possible, but with those little balloons you'd need a lot. But it's possible, it's been done other then on the mythbusters too.

Answer 4

Remember,  that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!
