"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?

Then the fact that you died is only indirectly related to holding your breath.

So actually, I win...

That's not what I would call 'Normal breathing conditions'...

Yeah, we actually asked one of our science teachers about that about five or so years ago. He said you'd pass out, but unless you choke on your tongue, you should be alright. Should, being the operative word.

How about locking someone inside a cage and throwing them in the water???

*tries*

HA, it dosen't work 'cause the ambulance is bloody quick!!

What if you held your breath until you passed out then as you fell down you hit your head on the corner of a Feng Shui coffee table and died from blood loss or something?

Ha, I win!

Unless of course, you hold your breath then cover your head with sellotape....

It is impossible to hold your breathe until you die, when you are in normal, breathable conditions.
