...water. Why? To achieve, through "sensory deprivation," surcease from tension, reconciliation with the id, relief from jet lag, hangover, back pain or nicotine withdrawal, for rediscovery of the womb, a flow of delta brain waves-or just a snooze. The experience might be called the caviar of self-indulgence. Float tanks, as they are called, originated on the West Coast. The idea behind them was developed in the 1950s by Neurophysiologist John C. Lilly, who is most widely known as the chap who communicates with dolphins.

Two more tasty noodles are dropped into this comedic chicken broth...

His partner was Frank Shackleton, younger brother of Sir Ernest, the South Pole explorer; Frank tried desperately to float a get-rich scheme in Mexico. Shackleton also held an honorary post in Dublin Castle, where he became a protege of Sir Arthur Vicars, fuss-budget guardian of the Hibernian sparklers. Between all-male orgies in the castle and AC-DC frolics at the maison of one Daisy Newman...
