On May 1, 2006, Blaine submerged himself in a water-filled sphere for a week.
Breathing through an air tube, he consumed only Gatorade and other liquid nutrients.
After the 7-day ordeal, Blaine was taken out from the tank, locked in chains and dropped back into the tank. The reason -- he was aiming to break the then world record for longest breath held under water of 8 minutes and 58 seconds.
However, he failed in this endeavour.
