am i the only one who remembers the guy who came up with something
similar?? i remember mice being dropped into beakers of something
akin to water in appearance that was breathable...

the mice would swim around and exhaust the air out of their lungs,
and then keep swimming about...

i always wanted to see what happened when he took them out!!
