This is strangely fascinating, and makes me want to go visit my parents’ house to raid their LPs and see what I can do with them. Although I’m not convinced they have anything I want to be associated with. Lobo? Best of Bread? Probably not.

Man Held Breath for 18 Minutes Underwater

How long can you hold your breath underwater? Me? A minute, tops!

Gianluca Genoni held his breath for 18 minutes 3.69 seconds while lying underwater in a Mantua swimming pool, beating German diver Tom Sietas, who managed 17 minutes 19 seconds in September – also on live TV – to unseat Blaine from the Guinness world record book.
