Wade Whitcomb, a magician by trade, says he once had a dream he was being shipped somewhere in a box. When his friend Ryan Breen asked him to pull off a publicity stunt to launch a new Web site, Whitcomb knew what he wanted to do. They say they successfully shipped Whitcomb overnight UPS from Syracuse to Las Vegas in November in a crate they built. UPS says the odds that actually happened are slight. It suspects a hoax.

Big whoop.
I came here on a sleigh with Santa Claus!
That's just great, Wade. What did you put on the UPS form that asks the contents and the value? Copycats beware - If you want to arrive at you destination hungry, smelly and oxygen deprived this is the way to go.
You undoubtedly got publicity, but are you starting a web site for people looking for the utmost in uncomfortable travel, or what?
