    We used to call this "taking a long bath".  Now people pay for it?

      Wasn't there a scary movie made about those tanks? The name escapes me now.

        Can you say claustrophobia?  I agree, an hour in the bathtub would do the trick, especially if there was wine involved.

                      "Altered States"

                       

                      Crazy, freaky movie. It was one of my favorites at the time, although not sure how much I would enjoy it if I went back & watched it now, in reality it was probably pretty dumb. A young William Hurt with Blair Brown (if anyone remembers her).

                        I think this was a thing about 20 years ago and about 20 years before that.  I googled and found that the first round, which is what "altered states" is based on, was in the 50s.  So I guess it comes around every 20 years or so and it's time for another round.

                          PT Barnum was right, and it turns out all you have to do is wait for people's memories to fade and you can go after the next generation of suckers.  Smile

                            Oh hell.  Look at the millions of dollars Crossfit has made convincing folks that there is such a thing as the "momentum" muscle.  Kipping pullups anyone?  I'm always laughing at some moron who says he can do 20 "pullups" when I'll bet there are fewer than 100 people on the planet that can do 20 real, honest to gawd, fawking pullups.  That means keeping your body so straight that I could put boards 12 inches front and back of your body and you wouldn't touch.  I'll bet no one on this forum can do 10.  Yet hundreds of Crossfit junkies can do 20.

                              I can do 6 (maybe 7 on a really good day).

                               

                              That to me is quite hard enough.
