David Blaine : "Drowned Alive!"
Stunt artist David Blaine had been buried alive for a week, been frozen for 61 hours in Times Square, perched 90 feet up on a pole for 35 hours, and fasted for 44 days while being suspended inside an acrylic box above Thames River in London. 
For his latest stunt, he immersed his 6 foot 1" frame inside an 8-foot sphere filled to the brim with 2,000 gallons of 96' degree saltwater and intend to stay there for a week. Check out this human globe aquarium outside Lincoln Center!

On Monday, May 8, 2006, he will then handcuff himself to 150 pounds of chain, remove his breathing apparatus, and attempt to break the world record of 9 minutes (8 minutes & 58 seconds, to be exact) without breathing. This spectacle will be shown LIVE on TV via a 2-hour Special Broadcast on ABC (starts at 8 PM).

In preparation for this stunt, he claimed to have lost 50 pounds - just while practicing to hold his breath!! (Hmmm... I have to lose 10 pounds by Summer. I think I should start holding my breath now). He has a couple of tubes attached to him. One serves as a tube-feeding catheter where he is being nourished with a liquid diet of Gatorade, Pedialite and Water combo. He also has a catheter for pissing ("catheter maintenance" shown above), but has no discrete way of doing #2. He doesn't appear to be worried at all. He announced that under no circumstances is he going to move his bowels, thank you very much. Talk about MAJOR constipation...
