I call bull!

I saw this on cosmo magazine - Magic numbers to remember. According to the U.S Airforce you can only survive

3 minutes without air.
3 hours without shelter in extreme conditions.
3 days without water.
3 weeks without food.
3 months without companionship or love.

I agree with four out of five, but what the hell do they mean by you can only survive 3 months without companionship or love. I call bull on that one. I'm not even sure i understand what they mean by that. Are they talking of complete isolation from human contact? What about people on death row that are locked up 23 hrs a day and only get to go out an hour everyday without interacting with anyone? I think these people just make stuff up. Makes no sense to me. What do u guys think?

    i'm with u jare
    i think they make it up

    but then again

    maybe it is human interaction and the deathrow people do have interaction with the guards that open the door and close it


    3 minutes without air but in men of honor robert deniro held it for 5 ooooooooo

  2. Hmm.. So would those men on deathrow mean they're in solitary confinement as well?
    Or they still have human contact for the one hour they comeout for?

  3. I think no 5 is true to an extent. Those inmates still get human contact for an hour. Some might count that as companionship.

    I think my first comment was meant for another page. Blogger goes crazy sometimes.

  4. by companionship i think they mean complete isolation from human contact...

    ...people on death row are not on solitary confinement oh, SC is penalty for offences for convicts during time...

    ...however, i dont think the 'not-surviving' is death, it might as well be madness

  9. I dont agree with #5 either. Others are scientifically proven but #5, this is according to what statistic?

  10. well, on #5, i think they mean being alone by urself. For three months. seeing no one at all, ahving no conversations. bt then, i am nt sure how accurate that is.

  11. I call bull too!!
    Just now i held my breath for 3 mins and 2 secs.
    okay i kid i kid..but i agree that it depends on what they mean by compianonship. do they mean friendship, human contact or what?
    Plus i wonder how they even compiled this info sef..hmm

  12. Somehow i dont believe the last one. Maybe if one is left on deserted island? But i think that person will go crazy rather than die..........
