Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous

In Toronto's Union Station this week, there are people living in glass houses but they are decidedly not throwing stones. OK, it's not "people," it's one magician, and he's living in a glass box as part of a Halloween food drive.
As reported by The Toronto Star this morning, 25-year-old magician and social activist Scott Hammell is living in a glass box until 6 p.m. this Halloween in hopes passersby will stock his little 12-by-6-by-8-foot transparent digs with nonperishable goods for the Free the Children social justice charity, for which he works.
Grinning behind his plate-glass window, pumping away at his Twitter and Facebook accounts in his "Think We" T-shirt, Hammell tells the Star, he hopes people will make him "disappear" by filling the house's two-can-width glass enclosure. Sounds like an impending life-size Warhol to us, and one with admiral merit, to boot. We wonder how anyone could say no to this goofy guy (and fully support a national tour, by the way).
So far, nearby Longo's grocery store has stacked enough diced tomato cans to cover two sides, reports the Star. The cans will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, but the stunt is also working to build awareness about Free the Children's Halloween For Hunger campaign, notes the Star, "which encourages kids to collect food-bank donations when they go trick-or-treating." Last year, this alone raised more than 217,000 pounds of food.
And trust us, he's not leaving that booth. Equipped with books, warm clothes, blankets and food of his own (some even donated by Longo's), he only heads out for a bathroom break, facilitated by the port-o-potty staked outside his "house." You don't even have to be in Toronto to get the see-through view of Hammell captured in the project's Facebook video.
