3/23/2005: Ice dunking record

Undertoad · 03-23-2005, 02:48 PM

Russian Karim Diab stood still in the icy Moscow River for one hour,
breaking the previous record of 45 minutes. Scrawled on his forehead
is the Russian word for "peace".

ah, the power of Vodka.

What is the Russian word for "shrinkage"?

he is actually looking down with stunned realization that you actually can freeze your balls off.

I, for one, stand corrected.

I hope he didn't freeze them off. He'd need them to tell people he holds that record.
"You did what?" "Why?" "Are you nuts?"

lumberjim · 03-23-2005, 04:14 PM

it's a trick. two days before, he began drinking mass quantities of tea. when he got in the water, the hole in the ice was only big enough to squeeze through. He immediately began to pee at that point, thereby warming the water to a tolerable level and melting more of the ice around him. easy, but icky.

Ok, this I gotta see, so to speak.

Where's the cite?

LabRat · 03-23-2005, 04:24 PM

i assume the little ripples are from him shivering...looking forward to more info.

Must be a typo. Shouldn't it read pees?

He *does* sort of have that look you get when you've just finished a really long, satisfying urination.

No, no! When he started, he was standing on top of a solid bolck of ice!

is this the same guy who drank all the liquor so he could pee on the snow, allowing himself to escape from his car?

I like how the water around him has formed a thin layer of ice on top (except for the area immediately near his body, where he's been moving it ever so slightly).
