Reply #11: Isn't that forget-to-breathe territory?

I vaguely recall that when the temperature in the engine rooms of ships goes over 130 deg. F, the part of the brain that regulates breathing can begin to malfunction, but there is a window above that temperature in which people can survive if they consciously make themselves breathe. Crews were sometimes trained to breathe on command.

I don't mean to frighten anyone, though--I'm pretty sure those conditions also require prolonged exposure and 100% humidity. I don't think those conditions are met anywhere in nature except along the Potomac River this time of year.

Come to think of it, maybe that explains how Congress works.
