Filed under dumb, but impressive: magician David Blaine breaks record for holding his breath

David Blaine set the world record for holding his breath on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," immersing himself in water for 17 minutes and 4 seconds. I had no idea this was even humanly possible. That is a freakin’ long ass time. To showcase my absolute dismay at this feat, a list of things you can do in amount of time to further boggle your mind:

3 min: run around the block +
2 min: check for change under couch pillows +
5 min: make guacamole +
2 min: clip your toenails +
4 min: name the 50 states in alphabetical order +
1 min: chug a beer +
4 seconds: sniff your armpit to check if you smell
=
17 min, 4 sec!

Congratulations, David! We're...glad you didn't die. [US]
