I used to attach lead weights to my cutoffs in such a way so they were easily removed. I would take 2 empty plastic gallon milk jugs filled with air and then jump into the deep end of our pool. I found I could sit on the bottom of the pool for around 10-12 minutes by taking in air from the jugs. This freaked out a few people but I turned out fairly OK and not dead.

Or was it "Sunday Morning Live?

America already finishes pretty low among international education standards. When the fundies are done kids will believe in trolls under bridges but not physics or chemistry.
