Britain’s Prince Andrew has rappelled 785 feet (239 meters) down the side of Europe’s tallest building to raise money for charity.
The 52-year-old’s stunt began on London skyscraper The Shard’s 87th floor and finished on the 20th, and took him 30 minutes.
Following the descent Monday morning, the prince said: “I will never do it again.”
Proof positive that any and all of us can acquire wisdom, Grasshopper.
So — what unforgivably stupid act will you manage to avoid this evening?
