If you're 100 feet under water - or even three feet underwater in a pool - it's not a good time to pass out. In order to break the world record, Blaine had to hold his breath without fainting. (Had he continued until he'd depleted his brain's oxygen, however, Potkin is convinced he could have gone for another full minute...

If junk food is what got her that body, plenty of women watching will say, ?I?ll have what she?s having...
...accept the theory of evolution, you accept that our genetic makeup, physical appearance and brain capacity are all related to our endeavor to survive and reproduce.
