We had no intention whatsoever of endorsing David Blaine's latest trick by talking about it on this site. However, upon reading this article from the BBC, we couldn't help ourselves. We are sure you have all heard about it by now. David Blaine intends to impersonate a goldfish for a week in order to prove something or other to the world, which of course will be very interesting, dramatic and profound. While we are sure this is all very exciting, it was the comments from fans that really caught our attention. One follower claimed that the event was, "so big and so important, in some sort of way holy" while another went even further by saying, "He's like a God in a mortal body". Despite the uncontrollable laughter that can be heard from the Celebrity Religion HQ we can kind of see where this admirer was coming from. I mean, God created the earth, Jesus walked on water and David Blaine plans to stay in a tank of water with an oxygen and feeding tube to keep him going. I can definitely see the similarity there. Ignoring our obvious cynicism, there is one thing that might just encourage us to become interested in this event: what happens when David needs to go to the toilet? The embarrassment caused by that would be worth watching! David claims that in the whole week he probably wont need to do a number 2; here at Celebrity Religion we ask our readers to come together and pray that he is wrong!
He said that his 'system' is completely empty and because he is getting fluids only - he should only have to go #1 - for which he has a catheter.

I was watching Regis and Kelly the other day and they said that doctors are worried about his skin. The water he his in is salt water and it is set at 98.6F/37C (body temperature). The thing is, when skin stays in a brine like that too long.... like what we have here.... the skin starts to decay...
Number 2 may be his saving grace from keeping his skin from falling off...

wow, that is really gross! So does anyone know what it is that he is actually trying to prove, other than what a fool he is? I guess i should be impressed by his stunt, but really im not. I think I would like him more if he was just trying to hold his breath for the longest time. This staying in a tank thing is utterly pointless!

Nothing to add, other than a silly joke I read earlier:
Q : What happens when you hold a mirror up to David Blaine's tank?
A : He thinks it's another magician and tries to attack it.
(love your site!)
