Tree Sitting Craze
I posted this on about.com a day ago. A look back at the tree-sitting craze of 1930.

My take on why so many tree sitters: Monkey see, monkey do. And aren't we humans just overblown monkeys deep down?
Alex, I see that you mention the Hunter Brothers and their crazy plane stunt. Grandma Bragg told me the story once and years later I caught a filmed documentary about the flight. Those guys actually performed maintenance on the motor while flying the plane.

This reminds me of pole sitting and the MASH episode where Klinger did that and came so close to Potter actually giving him the section 8 he wanted.

Close but no cigar for Klinger! See what kids were forced to do before video games and the internet.

They all grew up and bred my generation's tree huggers. It's evolution in action.

The article leaves an important question unexamined: what did they do about nature's call?

That begs the question of who picked it up?
