Professor Splash Sets Shallow Dive World Record

This Is The Kind Of Gripping Sports Coverage You Get In June

Because it's June, and the only mainstream sport going on is baseball, you wind up with stations like CNN reporting on some utterly bizarre sports to fill airtime.

Today's example is the completely worthless sport of shallow diving.

Professor Splash - a former strip club DJ who I'm sure received his professorship from Princeton - recently set a world record by diving into 12 inches of water from 35 feet 5 inches high.

So how exactly does he do it?
Professor Splash said his technique is to "skip across the water" when he makes contact with it.
If you have no idea what the hell that means, join the club. Professor Splash also says shallow diving requires experience and research. And one seriously screwed up brain.

Hilariously, right before Splash's record setting dive, one boy wondered, "What happens if he doesn't land in the pool?"

Then it's a dark day for shallow diving, kid.
