Wang Jintu

This guy has the right idea for the summer.

Mr. Wang Jintu of Beijing, China is the coolest man in the world standing neck deep into some ice for 1 hour 30 minutes. He attempted and broke this Guinness record on April 17, 2008. All he is wearing is some swimming trunks and thats about it. He did not face any kind of ill effects when he exited the tank filled with ice after standing in it for over an hour. This is something that is not new to Mr. Jintu as he would wear short sleeve shirts out in the middle of winter, so doing this was kind of something that he knew he could do. Submerging your hand in ice for even 5 minutes can be very uncomfortable for most people, so putting your whole body in it for over an hour is definitely a great accomplishment that people can admire.
