A mummified monk found preserved in Mongolia last week has been baffling and astounding those who uncovered him.
Senior Buddhists say the monk, found sitting in the lotus position, is in a deep meditative trance and not dead.
Forensic examinations are under way on the remains, found wrapped in cattle skins in north-central Mongolia.
... The monk was discovered after being stolen by a man hoping to sell him on the black market.

With my luck, I’d buy him from the grave robber and while driving home on a lonely back road he’d say “ Turn left up here. McDonalds ahead and boy am I hungry.”

If he's in a deep meditative trance then why is he physically deteriorating? Reminds one of the old Monty Python Holy Grail film, “I'm not dead”!, “I'm not dead”...whack! now he is...

All we need now is for him to suddenly lurch at one of the forensics experts and say “BRAINS!”

Well if there are people who believe that global warming is
man made, the Obama isn’t a habitual liar, that GM is
not government owned and homosexuality is normal
then they will probably believe this line of crap too.
