Annals Of Aspiration–15 Days Underwater?: An Englishman (why are these guys so often English?) is planning to try and smash the world record for living underwater, which currently stands at 8 days. Mark Webber thinks he can take sub aqua existence for up to 15 days and has had a special tank delivered to a warehouse near his home.

Oh, Webber plans to spend his time playing tic-tac-toe on the glass tank wall with visitors, and may even invite another diver or two into the tank for some underwater chess.
