When I saw a scuba diver on tv I started to believe that our lungs were some kind of tanks filled with a certain amount of oxigen. Very ttime you breath, you use it. Eventually, when all is used, you die!
After I figured this out, I started breathing very "economicly" to live longer, resulting in very unpleasant fealing in my body;)
