[Sam Finch]

Fish Can hold their breath for ages


Dogs Cant.



Anyone want to buy a dead dog?

[aquarius]

Damn.,., i only got to 4 mins and 47 secs this time

[Juan Carlos Rey]

My PC holds its breath for an hour or so. Well, at least when compiling a large VB program...

[SteveCRM]

I have the Guinness Book Of World Records, The Record Is...Well they don't have the record, but they do have the longest time holding their breath under water, 6 minutes, she fell in a creek.

[shachar]

u all are very funny of course you held your breathes for 7 , 10, 5 minutes.but babies i just held mine for 1 hour while eating launch.
sorry the world record can wait for me.

[MaStErPfu]

When I was eating apple, thatz when I held my breath long!!!, too long!!... too long that I didn't even know what happen. My mom said it was about 1½ hours..... Hey can't blame me. I was choking in that piece of apple! so I almost passed out!

[Razzle]

Mice can also hold their breath for a very long time. the Intelli Explorer Mouse from Microsoft did best

[paulwbarnes]

Well i beat you all, i was in a rock climbing accident when i fell, i was dead for 35mins until i came out of a coma two days later.

p.s. dont rock climb without ropes!!!!

[TimBarnette]

A few years back, I built a rocket. I didn't have the funding of NASA. So, I couldn't afford the LUXURY of oxygen. I flew to the moon and back, and held my breath the whole time.

Quite by accident I crashed in the ocean, but I was able to catch a good breath when I entered the atmosphere. So, after my rocket hit the bottom of the ocean, I was able to open the door (I'm very strong, too.. The pressure from the water didn't even slow me down from opening the door.), and swim to the top of the ocean...

Except that when I made it to the top, I realized I was near the polar cap, as it was very cold. I passed out, and was discovered 50 years later.

THe new things that were out were very interesting. I promptly bought a pentium and MS VB. You've heard of VB in 21 says? I tought myself in 21 minutes.

And THAT is how I tie this thread back to the overall topic of VB... <G>

oh yeah? well I held my breath for one hundred kabillion trillion billion gazillion years!

p.s: Did you know that the highest named number is called
a googleplex? funny name huh?

[Sam Finch]

Well I Just invented A time Machine, held my breath untill the end of the universe, went back to the big bang, Kept holding my breath untill the end of the universe again, went back to the big bang again, kept holding my breath until the end of the universe and came back and I'm Still Holding it now.

Did you Know that wigs are made illegal in the year 3015, I should know I checked 3 times.

[TimBarnette]

I'm sorry Sam, but you are clearly disqualified. If you hold your breath in a time machine, the time lapse while you hold your breath isn't the time of the universe but only the time that passed within the time machine.

I have to give you credit, though.. Great attempt..

Seriously, I told my wife about this post earlier, and she said there's a new record.. Some girl was trapped under water (under ice), with no air for 20 minutes, and lived.

Keep holding..<G>

[Sam Finch]

Actually Tim Time is defined by the probability of a certain isotope of someting decaying (I forget what exactly)

A second is the time elapsed such that the probability that this isotope has decayed since the begining of that second is equal to some constant K (again I can't remember what this constant is) you can Calculate the time elapsed if you find the probability P that your isotope has decayed by
t=ln(1-P)/ln(1-k)

Obviously I had a timekeeper with me on my trip and he took an infinate amount of this isotope with him to calculate how much of it had decayed and hence find t

which turned out to be so big that if I were to try and write it on this post, even as a power of ten it would take me 70 years to type it (and i'm a very good typist)

Honestly you hold your breath for that long and someone shuns your effort, I'm almost glat that the human race is wiped out by ChickenPox in 4237.

[seanm]

I don't know if the girl under the ice should get the record, since it wasn't, one would hope, her wish to hold her breath for that long. I think that a concious decision should be made in order to break a world record. Or that, at least, there should be another category, for things like, longest unwitting freefalls, accidental landspeed records, and most distance covered by a skateboarder using only his face.

[ravcam]

Ha, I pity you all! Without cheating i was able to hold my breath for over 1000 millenia, of cource at that time humans didn't exist on earth. It was quite an amazing feet, especially when you consider I used the teporal distortion of a black hole! Ha, I dare any of you to beat that!!!!!!

[pactalon]

I held for 1001 millennia!

[da_silvy]

i don't like holding my breath

[G.Kumaraguru]

The Isotope Sam refered is actually
Ceasium (A.NO:127).

[damonous]

Since I sit at a computer all day and program, I am way out of shape. I can hold my breath for about 8 seconds. I haven't seen daylight in 2 years and I haven't left my desk in a month. I asked the company to purchase an oxygen tank and IV drip so I can concentrate more of my energy on meeting deadlines and less energy on little things, like breathing and eating.

[Sam Finch]

Thanks for the isotope.

I was just making that up, it makes a nice change to be right about something.

[JohnAtWork]

the isotope is Cesium.

minor spelling error

[Pentax]

Well, I can hold my breath in approximately 1.2E45 Plancktimes (where "E45" stands for "times 10^45)).
Beat that!
By the way, I can also swim 2.9E36 Planklengths under water, without diving fins.

I live in Venezuela, I think my president have not brain. He can hold his breath for 12 years..
