Great strength and endurance pulmonary!! Congratulations John!!
Dan Rollman
This record makes no sense to me. Is it the slowest time to time to blow up a water bottle until it pops? That could take hours, no? It's definitely not the fastest time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3aQdh1QfHo
Clint Poore
Dan, I can understand that. I have blown up more hot water bottles than I can remember, some go fairly quickly and others take a considerable amount of time. The ones where it takes 2 minutes or more are excruciatingly painful and leave welts and sometimes draw blood from where they smack the skin upon explosion. The goal is to blow it up the Hot Water Bottle quickly but sometimes they turn into a feat of tremendous endurance.
Dan Rollman
Clint, we've tweaked the title based on your feedback. How do you feel about it?
Clint Poore
Sounds good but if its permissible could it say LONGEST instead of slowest. The reason is because there is no way of knowing when it will burst. Blowing up a Hot Water Bottle is dangerous and also an imperfect science.
