David Blaine - Grody

I was channel surfing and managed to catch the two seconds that they showed his pruny hands. It made, and still makes, my skin crawl.

Ick.

And he must have been stinky. In a heated salt water solution for three days? He must have made some raunchy 'Blaine Soup' festering in that if they didn't filter it. I would hate to be the person to clean the Blaine-globe.

Blaine Fails to Set Underwater Record

NEW YORK (AP) - David Blaine emerged weak and wrinkly from a week spent submerged within an 8-foot snow globe-like tank - but without a world record for holding his breath.

Rescue divers jumped into the tank Monday and hauled up the stunt artist as he struggled to break the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. Blaine held his breath for 7:08, but after spending some 177 hours under water.

After being given oxygen, Blaine, 33, addressed the large crowd that had gathered around the tank on the plaza of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
