senses fail

I was just thinking about what Suraya and I saw on the tele the other day. It was one of David Blaine's show. There was a scene where he performed a feat of staying underwater (god knows for how long) in a cannister that looks like a gigantic bubble. And it was on display so everyone had access to see him (it wouldn't have been a stunt if nobody was there to witness it).

Well it was impressive enough for him to stay submerged underwater for so long that his skin; especially his arms and feet were begining to look as if it was melting. Imagine a monster that lives under water. Now picture it's skin. That's what happened to him. But what frightened me the most was that he wasn't able to communicate with the outside world.

When you're underwater, your sense of hearing goes down the drain. Moreover when you're in an aquarium and you can see people around you but you can't here people talking, you can't hear their actions, no voices, no noise, no sound!

Shite, it's incredible that when you lose one part of your 5 senses, you become so vulnearble that you can lose 'it' at anytime.
