"It is impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath..."

Did you know that?

What happens is, you hold your breath, your brain is starved of oxygen , you pass out and start breathing again! Unless of course, you are underwater. Then you die.

I'm bored, wanna get some pie?

You need an awful lot of help...

Wouldn't it be quicker to not hold your breath instead?

After all, holding your breath requires the intake of oxygen and so fuels your cells for that little bit longer than not breathing at all.

But again, you would start breathing again as soon as you lose self control.

i used to hold my breath wen i was bored, to see how long i could do it. Then I would feel a mixture of light headiness and sleepyness. There has to be some repercussions from this urely. I mean, you just cant keep stop/starting your system again and again. But I suppose it could come in handy in school or summit.

I'm assuming that that is a BAD THING!

I passed out last year, but I dunno if it was through lack of oxygen or dehydration. It was teh hottest day of Summer, and I went out, got really hot, sweated like a polar bear in the dessert, and it became harder to breathe. That's all I remember. When I woke up gasping for air, the first thing I did was drink 5 pints of water.

Isn't it obvious?

No, I didn't think so either.

For all the wrong reasons.
