:34:01
At 3:30 p. m.,
I stopped by Williams Medical Supply.
:34:05
Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask.
:34:07
I called my mutual fund company and asked
which stock in their mid-cap fund...
:34:10
had the greatest percentage gain that day.
:34:12
The idea was just to get enough information
for one good trade.
:34:15
Can we just download chart data
and trade on each movement?
:34:18
But if we do that, I want to use the library
in Russellfield, use their computers.
:34:36
So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15
and cut off the power to the box.
:34:40
It cycled down to a tolerable level
at about 3:19.
:34:43
The trick is to get in
after it reaches a comfortable level...
:34:46
but before it shuts off completely.
There's a window there.
:34:50
So, does it hurt?
:34:53
Yeah, it does a little.
:34:55
It's not bad if you wait for the right time.
It's like a small static shock.
:34:58
- Once you're in, you're fine, though.
- What?
:35:01
I know you've done it,
and I can only assume that you don't have...
:35:04
cancer or male impotence.
:35:06
But what is your opinion
on how safe this thing is?
:35:09
I can imagine no way
in which this thing would be...
:35:11
considered anywhere remotely close to safe.
:35:14
All I know is I spent six hours in there
and I'm still alive.
:35:19
You still want to do it?
:35:38
I set the alarm on my stopwatch
for six hours.
:35:40
I regulated the O2 tank,
took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep.
:35:45
Did you?
:35:46
- What?
- Did you sleep?
:35:49
Not at first. I've never
considered myself claustrophobic...
:35:52
but I started sweating and I couldn't find
the right flow rate on the tank...
:35:57
and I was breathing differently than I was
when I was testing it on the outside.
