...defending the galaxy? Why, he just pops into his custom-made $125,000 hyperbaric chamber, of course. Jackson's spaced-out method of getting his beauty rest came to light in a photograph of the Gloved One looking like the star of a B-grade sci-fi flick. Jackson got interested in the idea after he was hospitalized for burns two years ago and learned that hyperbaric chambers could speed up the healing of damaged tissue by enabling a patient to breathe oxygen for an hour or two under double the barometric pressure at sea level. "Michael says...
