One Day, Two Men and 468 New York City Subway Stations

Matt Green and Donald Badaczewski are currently in the middle of an attempt to ride the New York City subway system through all of its 468 stations as fast as possible. Fark.com classifies the endeavor as stupid; the New York Times finds it worth 743 words. Green and Badaczewski began at 6 a.m. this morning and have a MySpace page about their journey, which includes a brief history of endurance subway riding. “There is actually a Guinness record for subway riding, but it allows the rider to exit the system, using a bus or other means of transport to go from the end of one spur line to another, before re-entering the subway,” they write. “We have a strong philosophical opposition to this set of rules. If you’re going to spend that much time in pursuit of such a ridiculous and pointless goal, why cut corners? Plus, what kind of babes are going to dig guys who take the easy way out of such a manly challenge?”
