The majority of people using CPAP probibly can't stand on their head either...What does that prove?

I can circular breathe and I can stand on my head.... I dunno if it can do it standing on my head.

Oh what the heck, I'll give it a shot over the next several days. I've had no luck learning to circular breathe...tried, just can't seem to get the hang of it.

Shoot! I would take an even more drastic stance:
I have trouble walking and breathing at the same time, let alone sleeping and breathing!
But that's me... When you look up "uncoordinated" in the dictionary, they use my picture as an example!

I found that, by learning the didgeridoo, I no longer have to breath at all. I actually haven't taken a breath out of necessity in 15 years. Grand, is it not?

Not if you add dish soap to the waterm and it sounds better too. The only downside will be less fools buying Didgeridoo's. jim
