I saw this guy yesterday. He was on 17th St. off 6th Ave. I just happened to be walking by. They filled his cylindrical plastic tank with ice. I knew I had an hour or so before he got out, so I ate lunch and came back. When he came out, (tank dumped over) his skin was a purple-ish red, but in good spirits. Cool.

/not submitter

This guy takes chilling out pretty seriously.

Tantric E-mail exchange...

Bra, (short for BRAHMIN BULL LOL) Did you see the Pramada bathing yesterday in the Ganges? I could so see her bindu. I practically blew my chakra right then and there.


RE: Pramada's bundu.
Dude...take a 72 minute ice immersion.

Not cool, dude.

cool, dude

/or cool dude...

While I do believe that you can control your mind to pretty much do anything such as this event, it is an idiotic way to prove that you can do it. Why not use your brain to say...build a snow machine out of an air compressor and pressure washer or something?

Will he get Mr. Cool Ice tattoos next?

You know, if I was a tantric master, I'd be immersing myself in vagina for 72 hours.

Approves.

Did you guys know that "tantric sex, in brief, is based on the male partner using his PC muscles (the same muscles you use to stop the flow of urine) to delay orgasm"? Hmm? Who needs viagra anyway, when you have Wikipedia.

I liked the part of the book Siddhartha where he decides that he's tired of learning this kind of trick from the Samanas, so he uses their own tricks against them and leaves.

It's totally cool that they can make this sort of thing happen, but really, why? Is being able to be healthy in the cold really going to affect your daily life so much?

What good does making your palms smell like flowers or learning to levitate do you?

How exactly does one prepare oneself fer a 72 minute immersion in ice?

Sex wih Hillary?

/Brrrr!

puffy999 You know, if I was a tantric master, I'd be immersing myself in vagina for 72 hours.

Not this guy... can you say "shrinkage?"

and ceiling cat yawns

ThatGuyOverThere: What good does making your palms smell like flowers or learning to levitate do you?

Yes, what use could levitation possibly be?

It didn't look like an ice bath. it looked like a pile of ice cubes. It's really not the same thing.

I'd be that he could sort of make an ice cave inside the pile, where most of his body could not be in contact with ice. I'd think it'd be the only way to do it.

Dude, HHWHY? I like cannot comprehend how this feat could like, possibly do or like, mean anything. It just, like can't impact or impress my shallow ignorant brain!

umm, can you conjure a Wii for me yogi-mystic? Cause I like am so sarcastic.

If I'm not mistaken it's a convenient consequence of the belief, not a major goal. Along the lines of "healthy mind in a healthy body".

quatchi: How exactly does one prepare oneself fer a 72 minute immersion in ice?

Those extreme divers come to mind, they always meditate before they take the plunge, to get their heart-rate down.

raped by flood protection.

DUDE, like, if you want to make an impact in the world, cause my girlfriend's boobs to swell using yoga flame, kay???

Hypothermia for fun and prophet!

Tantric sex, in brief, is based on the male partner using his PC muscles (the same muscles you use to stop the flow of urine) to delay orgasm. The practice is said to come from Buddhist folklore.

I tell you, we can get you this power. We have the power, and it is ours. By the time you're Operating Thetan Level IV you can lie in frozen ice indefinitely. With me, with us, we can use this sort power and others to heal the world.

/At OT V you can kill a yak from 50 yards away WITH MIND BULLETS!!!

Bwhahaha, that's great. Gives me an excuse to post this as well:

That's telekinesis, Kyle....

72 minutes does sound suspiciously like the amount of time it might take for enough ice to melt that the water level surrounds him....

dumb.

Don't hassle the Hof.


can't believe I was the first w/ this one

Imagine the shrinkage.

My experience is that learning tantric methods, as odd as they sound, improve one's performance in many other areas of life.

Men who know tantric sex techniques have much more immediate benefits from their practice. Srsly.

It could. (poppage from the past)

My powers- let me teach them to you!

vonClogg: 72 minutes does sound suspiciously like the amount of time it might take for enough ice to melt that the water level surrounds him....

Ice water would be worse than just ice. The water conducts the heat of your body away much faster.

It amazes me that people can still buy in to what is a very cheap parlor trick.

/yeah, he's "controlling his body temp with his mind"
//that's the ticket!
///farking retards

St_Francis_P: This guy takes chilling out pretty seriously.

You shall be administered daily thorough beatings for this terrible pun.

I'd like to see this guy use his powers of tantric mind control to get get through the first 3 weeks of BUD/S. That would impress me.

/I sound like a internet tough guy.
// "You were never in Nam, fatass!"

Exactly.

David Blaine's gonna sue yer ass.

/If it were up to me, I wouldn't have let him out.
//Didn't he like switch with a body double periodically for that one?

Atypical Person Reading Fark:

You can't leave us in the cold like that, it's inhuman. You're also on Fark, and the brainpower of many, many young men is demanding you to elaborate.

No water; no salt; not impressed.

I bet the layer of ice in contact with his body melted then refroze, and the weight of the ice above his shoulders compacted everything creating an igloo-like compartment

For those who think it's fake, why not repeat the experiment in your bathtub? Go down to the store, buy a few bags of ice, and video tape it.

It's a freaking world record if you beat him, you'll get your name on newspapers and fark.com. Of course you better notify Guinness to come and make sure you don't cheat.

ThatGuyOverThere I liked the part of the book Siddhartha where he decides that he's tired of learning this kind of trick from the Samanas, so he uses their own tricks against them and leaves.

EPIC fail. First try reading the non-buddhist text by Herman Hesse again, you might find you missed something.

Feats like this can, and have, been used to raise awareness of what can be accomplished through meditation. On the one hand it's a publicity stunt on the other it might teach people about meditation and maybe just one person gets benefit from it.

that's just farking cool

I've been freezing my ass off in the upper Midwest for more than 43 years.

This guy's a pussy.

Tantric sex involves climax without ejaculation. This leads to multiple male orgasm. There are many great books avalable to help you to become proficient at this. Its totally worth the time (and your partner will be totally amazed!),

Oops. I forgot to mention the article. Have you ever noticed that you become very warm when angry or embarrassed? Its not difficult to learn to be warm/hot. It does take practice and involves very specific meditations. Tibetan monks are known to sit in the snow with only a loose robe on, the snow melting around them. They even sleep like this.

Big deal.

use a bunch of round ice cubes and very few are in contact with you.

try that with a tub of shaved ice and then Ill be impressed.

I absolutely cannot believe there were no Mr. Freeze references yet...

so let me be the first:

approves.

/It's cold in heaarreee!
//My name is freeze, remember it for it will be your DOOM!
///It was on this morning, It couldn't help but watch it.

all approve.
