He's the Barry Bonds of breath holders. 9 minutes after sucking down 100% pure oxygen is not even close to a world record. Now if he lasts 15....

I'm with Killian on this one...D Blane needs to die or go away already.

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Mon May 08, 2006 5:44 pm

Notice how this idiot doesn't do any "magic" any more after the masked magician broke off how to do all of Blane's tricks? Now it's all endurance crap.

Fuck this douche bag. I'd be more interested to see if he can hold his breath for 9 minutes while trying to evade some starved hammerheads. Oh, and cut him just for good measure.

Good take. Why do they insist on calling him "Magician David Blane"? He's an illusionist, and as Killian pointed out, not a very good one at that.

Using my Computer Clock, I held my breath for 66 seconds on the first try.

And from MSNBC...

David Blaine emerged weak and wrinkly from a week spent submerged within an 8-foot snow globe-like tank — but without a world record for holding his breath.

Rescue divers jumped into the tank Monday and hauled up the stunt artist as he struggled to break the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. Blaine held his breath for 7:08, but after spending some 177 hours under water.

After being given oxygen, Blaine, 33, addressed the large crowd that had gathered around the tank on the plaza of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

"I am humbled so much by the support of everyone from New York City and from all over the world," Blaine said. "This was a very difficult week, but you all made it fly by with your strong support and your energy."

The challenge had taken a toll on the magician's body, including liver damage, pins and needles in his feet and hands, some loss of sensation and rashes all over his body, said Dr. Murat Gunel, who heads Blaine's medical team and is associate professor of neurosurgery at Yale University School of Medicine.

Blaine started training in December, with some help from Navy SEALS. He lost 50 pounds so his body would require less oxygen. The water temperature was regulated to help keep his core temperature near 98.6 degrees, and he ate and relieved himself by tubes. He remained tethered to an oxygen tube.

As early as on the second day of his challenge, Gunel said, there was evidence that Blaine was suffering liver failure; the medical team consulted with medical experts at NASA before stabilizing his condition. Blaine's underwater environment was similar to the weightlessness experienced by astronauts in outer space, he said.

Hmmm, yeah. It sounds like liver damage, nerve damage and skin rashes are a price well worth paying for this....stunt.

Whatta freak!

The funny thing is that he went thru all that and did not even break the record.

His next stunt involves having a 16 ton weight dropped on him.

That would just leave him another day old and deeper in debt.

Not a fan of dry English "comedy" so much as I am a fan of old school country artists.

Came home from softball last night to find the fiancee watching this. My thoughts:

-The title: "Drowend Alive!" Hey dumbfucks, if anyone drowns, they were probably alive before hand.

-Stu Scott needs to face fuck a Mack truck, and soon. Check that, looks like he already did. I couldn't tell if he was looking at the right camera or if he was caught in one of those akward "I need to keep talking to this camera until they switch so I don't look like an even bigger douche bag". Stu Scott has to be hell on camera men.

- Blaine panicking like a little bitch when he started to fail. At this point, I felt cheated. They promised 9 minutes, so I was hoping those unichs that jumped in were going to hold his fucking head under water until 9:00.

- If I was Neal Armstrong or any other living astronaut, I would drive to fucking New York and challenge that pussy bitch to a fight.

- Anyone else notice the chick who had her teeth pulled out (in Vegas), happened to be in the front row watching in New York?

- ABC must really be hurting to put that bullshit on prime time TV.
