Ya, great, 7 mins is alot... but a 2 hour special which turned out to only be about a dude sitting in a human fishtank??? fuck that.

After seeing this, I think the guy who does hold the world record deserves a 4 hour special!
Ah, but sitting in that fishbowl for a week WAS a world record. And by his accounts, he has held his breath for longer than the world record of 8:58, it just wasn't done immediately following the breaking of another world record such as standing in water for 7 days.

Hell fell short of his goal, but what he did was still pretty amazing to a lot of people, even if you don't think so.
