The above link(s) raises a few questions:
1) I wonder what his parents think.
2) Who sponsors him - Duracell/Speedo?
3) Why doesn't he try living/standing in the blackened veins of the NYC subway system, namely on the tracks between the trains (going in different directions) at 34th Street for at least two months, since apparently he has nothing more useful to do with his time?? How about watching the world's longest movie 150 times -loop- to monitor the effects of pins and needles, memorization and concentration, while suspended with/by a Gortex (trademark) harness from the world's tallest building (which I hear is in Malasia or China), slowly sipping on his own purified urine for the sake of science? That would be more useful and producing less waste than relieving himself through some tube and having it chucked into the public sewage system. Moreover, his training with the SEALS would have more than likely covered the risk of earthquake in the Far East.
