    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      You cannot just fall into arctic water, swim for some time, go out and continuing living as if it never happened. That contact with near-zero degree Celsius, with your entire body immersed in it, will cause instant hypothermia and you will be stunned to not being able to swim and come out of it, and you will die of hypothermia.

      • Augustine: You know, there's no rule that says you have to touch everything.
