O, have been pondering ...

... about the importance of CO2. So, can we ask politicians to take a deep breath ...
then hold it ... hold it ... hold it ........hoooold it .... HOLD IT!!!. dammit!

(yer i know, human lungs, diaphragms.  really only respond to excess CO2, then demand oxygen).

I was going to make a remark about CO2 and its relation to yawning, but looked it up and saw that there is no good evidence for the theory that connects them.

Rather extraordinary, don't you think? We thought these scientists had long ago solved such things. But if Wikipedia is right, they're just guessing.

Dunno about the 'scientists' laddie - but inhale deeply - then try holding it. There will be two outcomes. Your body will force you to 'inhale' which is a problem if under water; or learn to breathe pure CO2 - which is a long time coming.

correction - inhale deeply, then your body will force you to EXHALE And that, is the bit that one dies from. Expiration. Inhalation keeps you alive. Long story, Vincent; keep breathing - in, out, in, out - 'tis all you need.

Dunno why am writing this but not many people know where their diaphragm is. Search inside yer body, Find your diaphragm.

When all else fails, find it and keep it. In, and out; in, and out
