. . . for thinking this, but my first thought when I saw this on the wire yesterday was "He's gonna be in there for a WEEK? How is he gonna go to the bathroom?" From the photos it appears there is just a small hole at the top ofthe bubble that his air line goes through. I'm not even sure how they got him in there in the first place. But how is he gonna do it? I mean, uh, relieve himself? Eat? Isn't a week in the water gonna give him a terminal case of "the wrinkles?"

Through tubes Dave...feeding and elimination through tubes.

(If you look at the lower right of the picture you see a cloth covered? conduit?)

The guy seems to be stuck in a rut. First the glass cube, now the glass ball...we get the point, he can sit around in a small clear space and attract a crowd.

Of course, in the glass cube he had his hecklers to keep him company. Here he doesn't have much sound. That may make a difference.

i think it would be cool if maybe 5 people ran up with drills and each drilled holes in the bottom. kind of a laugh out loud situation.

yeehawfactor -- That was indeed a LOL http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif Or how about just going up there with a bunch of cans of black spray paint and put him in the dark :D

Edit: The other thing that I wondered is why is the water so cloudy :confused:

See the release for the trap door? (down by his feet...) Dave, I suspect he entered through the bottom, then they filled the tank. Just guess'n

I'd think the concern would be if he dozed off for a moment.
