If you aren’t already familiar with Improv Everywhere they are a very loosely associated group of improvisation artists who stage some pretty freaky gags in everyday settings. Here is one of their latest endeavors: Freezing in place in Grand Central Station. (hat tip to  GP)

On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world?s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but today, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them.
