very kewl
That's pretty sad of Joe if he can't beat moe fairly......... well you know what i mean.
how is holding your breath under a cup of water easier then holding your breath UNDER the surface of the water..its still holding your breath!
Uh..Pete. It does say he held he breath while under the cup of water. It just says he stood under it.
Sorry, I meant it doesn't say that he held his breath while standing under the cup. I'm always making typos!! When will I learn to reread what I type before I click Add Comment.
i think that if joe was breathing while standing under that cup he was using breathing equipment - one must use some sort of breathing equipment, even if it's just your nose and lungs, to breathe....
One of the easiest I have ever seen.
