    Duncan Gill referred us to an article in The Australian about a man in India who claims he hasn't eaten or taken a drink in 68 years, a veritable inediate. Prahlad Jani also claims he hasn't gone to the bathroom in all those years. The story claims that Mr. Jani (whose name means Lying Through My Holy Palate) was put under round-the-clock surveillance at a hospital. Neurologist Sudhir Shah (whose name means I Am Too Smart to Be Fooled) said Jani was under watch for 10 days with a closed-circuit camera running and they didn't see him eat or drink anything or go to the bathroom. The story was sent to The Australian by "correspondents in Ahmedabad, India" Ahmedabad means City of the Credulous and is the commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat (which means Gotcha!). When The Australian was contacted and asked if they had verified their sources' claims, they replied: "No. Why do you ask? It could be true, you know." Skeptics accuse Jani of surreptitiously sucking in prana through his nose ring.

    He doesn't have to worry about anything being Atkins friendly or getting stuck in the stall without T.P., though.

    Impossible, unless he's expending null energy (or, alternately, he's a plant).

    Let's see...cellular respiration requires oxygen (which, in itself, requires energy to inhale- lungs working, blood cells circulating) and glucose (which would be in food), yielding CO2, H2O, and ATP. Since he claims not to eat, we can toss that one out.

    If he was a plant, though, I guess he could somehow absorb enough water to start photosynthesis, and then start respiration with the oxygen and glucose product...but still, what the hell?

    Sorry. Got carried away there for a second. Yeah, he'd need to be able to absorb sunlight to get away with that, and while I have great respect for the mystics, I really don't think they could become of the leafy sort.
