Then they inflated the balloon, let it go, and watched their Lego man lift off.

At seven kilometres, the balloon passed cellphone-tower range, and the GPS signal cut out. So they went home and made dumplings.

You know that that's a euphamism. They weren't going to tell the newspaper that they went home and had a circle jerk to Princess Leia in her RotJ outfit now, were they?
