According to Ch4 news just now, a man called Professor Splash has just broken his own world record for shallow diving, leaping from a height of 34 feet into 12 inches of water. Two thoughts:
1. I genuinely thought people only did this in cartoons. (He was using a plastic paddling pool; in the cartoons it's usually a wooden tub. Watching the footage, I was properly surprised (for the split-second before logic kicked in) by the paddling pool.)
2. Tonight? Really? I know news programs broadcast novelty items like this all the time, but, well.....it's hardly been a slow news week, has it?
