Time Stops at Grand Central Station

#1 Post by zorg »

This is amazing

My comments (spoilered)..

It'd be way cooler if you did it in a more abandoned place... so that the 'alive' people would be hopelessly outnumbered. Like a really small empty station... or at a bar.... ect :D

That was awesome; I wouldn't be able to do that. I would laugh or something.

Amazing work!

Ha, that'd be really cool. They'd think they were in some Zombie movie.

I think it's great that they did it at a place as big as Grand Central. Improv Everywhere is really great with this sort of time-warp stuff. If you check out the Starbucks and Home Depot missions on their site, you'll see what I mean. Very trippy, indeed.

I'd love to do something like that at my school! The only problem is that it would be impossible to find enough people to do it who wouldn't screw it up by moving or sneezing.

Oh this is the funniest and coolest thing I have seen in a while! I'd love to have been there. I would be all like WTH? Knowing me, I'd freak out.

I know I couldn't freeze like that. I'd start laughing or I'd bust out with remarking about how cool it is.

I would love to be a part of some mass prank like that, but if I try to stay still, I just keep twitching. I can't stand perfectly still, at least when I'm thinking about it. :(

Is your mind picturing a large number of organised people appearing in certain areas to do something peculiar/ out of the ordinary then leaving the location as fast as they appeared?

Then you would loose that bet.

It's a term stolen from science fiction, I bet none of you knew that! From a short story by larry niven. :)

My mind was seeing 500 people surrounding me and flashing me actually.
