World Record BAC (as far as we know)

I've seen a few blood alcohols that have been out there. Like, 500 or so a few times, and maybe one that was around 600-something. But while looking at some news websites, I found one that really blew me away: 0.914. And the Bulgarian fellow in question was, apparently, conscious and talking to the medical staff. They repeated the test 5 times before they took the result seriously... I guess I can't blame them for that. One assumes they also checked a blank at some point. This result is yesterday's news, I realize, being 2 years old, but still impressive. Well, I'm teaching today, so I'd better get back to my keynote.
