David Blaine has started his challenge of livinging inside of a glass box for 40+ days. He will have nothing but air, water and a few items of wich he chose to bring into the glass box.

The people monitoring David will be checking his urine to make sure that things are ok.

Will he survie the whole 43 days?

That's my point, Natbuc. He's not an illusionist any more. It's just endurance. If he isn't doing it for real, then fair enough, but the point is the stunt is easily possible.

With magic you're supposed to think "That's not possible! It must be magic!". With this you think "Hey....most people cn do that. Cheat". Unless you're El Robin, then you think "Let's watch a man in a box with nothing but water and napies for 24 hours a day, hur hur he'll need a poo".

If they edit out his pooing then they will not be ten minutes behind will they ? You can't remove so many minutes of pooing and still be 10 minutes behind.

Say if he poos at 10pm , so the audience at 10pm are watching footage from 9:50. His poo takes up 5 minutes.

So when the audience at 10:10pm start watching, five minutes of footage is missing, because it was cut.

What the audience watches at 10:10PM is actually footage from 10:05PM, which ends for the audience at 10:15PM. The footage shown at 10:15PM for the audience actually happened at 10:10PM, hence the audience is now only 5 minutes behind UNLESS the missing 5 minutes is filled in with a 5 min advert until 10:20PM for the audience, in which case the audience will stil be 10 minutes behind.

In other words Blank, Robin's idea wasn't as stupid as it sounds. :P

It's all fake muppets! He's an illusionist, not a survivalist. Pfft, think people!

No they aren't. They're still ten minutes behind. If he has a poo they don't speed up to the present minute, they're still ten minutes behind AT ALL TIMES. It eliminates the point otherwise, cretin. Sometimes I wonder how you do day to day activities without injuring yourself.

They will have a camera in there that is really close up to him so they will be able to see his chest moving up and down.

He stops moving when he sleeps.
How do the know that he has not died in his sleep.

They are only meant to check on him if he has stopped moving for two days?

Heh more like two minutes.

So poo poo head, i can tlk how i lik.

It's called exaggerated sarcasm to increase the delivery of a point, morons.

I don't particularly mean how you're typing - I mean your level of maturity.

I mean, c'mon.

You're talking like 5 year olds.

Pay? no way
