49 Days Sitting on a Flag Pole and Other Wild True Stories

Imagine sitting on top of a flagpole for 49 days! That's exactly what Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly did in 1930. He was known for pole-sitting, a strange stunt where people would balance on flagpoles for as long as possible. Kelly broke the record during the Great Depression, and people came from all over to watch him. He survived wind, rain, and the blazing sun just to stay on top of that pole.
