Fox News
A Florida man attempting to 'run' across ocean in a human-sized hamster wheel was arrested after threatening U.S. Coast Guard officials.
"Based on the condition of the vessel – which was afloat as a result of wiring and buoys – USCG officers determined Baluchi was conducting a manifestly unsafe voyage," the criminal complaint says.

The "manifesting unsafe" vessel is a giant metal drum, with inflatable buoys on each side and paddles that are powered by a runner inside.
