An Indian man who claims divine inspiration says he has survived 68 years without eating, drinking or relieving himself, baffling doctors who are unable to prove him an imposter.
Prahlad Jani, a 76-year-old whose extraordinary tale has won him a small band of devotees, took a dare and underwent round-the-clock surveillance at a hospital in Ahmedabad (news - web sites), the commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat.
"He has evidence of the formation of urine, which was reabsorbed on his bladder wall. The medical committee does not have any scientific explanation," Shah said.

Food is an addiction acquired at birth. He evidently managed to lick it.

Is it proper etiquette to eat hot wings for Thanksgiving? That depends if you go to Hooters or not. Use the bird's wings. Gonna deep-fat fry mine on the grill, using hickory this year for a change.
Nobody's calling me to ask what I think, but I actually believe this man in the story, oh well.......

Apparently a lot of scientists are on retainer at the Weekly World News.

You must keep the little finger on the hand holding the wing raised then it is perfectly acceptable.

yeh, right...
I remember hearing of some guru female from up north who claimed she didn't eat. Everything she needed was in the air, I guess. But during the interview, she ate a little bit of desert while dining out with friends. But she continued to insist that she didn't eat. It was funny. This guy probably has a stash of twinkies in the closet.

I've read about it (in the 70's) and believe it's a substance in the ether (higher vibrations of "air quality"). Some yogi's who devote their lives to meditation are able to attain a higher state of consciousness and are thus able to live on prana for certain periods of time.

They say that if you haven't eaten in a long time, and you suddenly eat it could kill you.
Not that I believe this guy or anything.

Gonna deep-fat fry mine on the grill, using hickory this year for a change.I like hickory, a few years ago we used mesquite - it was out of this world! This year I'll combine the two.

I've seen some incredible stuff that couldn't be explained as well, and some that I won't even attempt to describe to anyone. What would be unexplainable is a congressman voting their conscience.
