Steve Fossett and his eager grandson Marcos pause for photographers after a recent test flight.ATLANTA (CAP) - The latest trend in the circles of the rich and famous - child endangerment - has some well-known highlights. There was Michael Jackson dangling his child over his hotel balcony; Courtney Cox and David Arquette naming their child Coco, assuring the girl several years of devastating psychological torture; Britney Spears being photographed recently driving with her child on her lap.
In terms of child endangerment, who can top these? Enter millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett.
"My goal is to be the first person to fly across the Atlantic with a child strapped to the nose of my plane," Fossett said at a recent press conference. "My grandson Marcos has been doing great in the few test runs we've taken."
Fossett said that most of the kinks have been worked out. He plans to fly at low altitude, negating the need for oxygen. A long pole with a bottle duct-taped to it will keep the child well fed. One technical glitch remains.
"How do you change a diaper at 1000 feet going 200 miles an hour? It's a daunting problem," Fossett told the gathered reporters. "To be honest, at the moment I'm leaning towards leaving the thing off and just installing larger windshield washer reservoirs."
Britney Spears is allegedly fuming at the one-upmanship and has been taking meetings with stunt coordinators for the past week.
In a related story, little Coco Arquette has been forced to drop out of daycare after even the teacher started referring to her as "Miss Puffs".
