I haven’t really been following the whole waterboarding debate that much and if I had an opinion on the issue, as a journalist I wouldn’t state it publicly. But this was interesting … a guy tried waterboarding himself with an inclined weight bench and a watering can.

I figure I would be a good test subject. I am incredibly fit and training for a 100 mile endurance run. The main thing about such an event is ability to tolerate pain. I am good at this. I am trained. …

Now, those of you who know me will know that I am both enamored of my own toughness and prone to hyperbole. The former, I feel that I am justifiably proud of. The latter may be a truth in many cases, but this is the simple fact:

It took me ten minutes to recover my senses once I tried this. I was shuddering in a corner, convinced I narrowly escaped killing myself.
