Galway student Mark Rawson is set to become the
next David Blaine. The daredevil GMIT catering
student has undertaken the audacious task of living for
forty days on a diet that will NOT include Pot Noodles,
Buckfast Tonic Wine, Dutch Gold or anything from
the menu at Supermacs Family Restaurant. This
death-defying feat will be carried out in a tent near the
Spanish Arch.
Student Union reps have stated that after consulting
with health officials in GMIT they have advised Mark
not to go ahead with the stunt. "No student can survive
for that period of time without one of those four
essentials," said GMIT Student Union president Mike Durkan, "Mark is literally taking his life into his
own hands by eating a balanced diet. No student's system is ready for that kind of shock."
Mark himself has declined to comment further on the issue and will not say whether or not he will be
adopting Blaine's trademark vacant stare and mumbling, incoherent speech patterns.
