Your tax dollars at work.

I wouldn't be hastily skeptical on this one, there is a long tradition in the mystical traditions of persons who eat little or nothing (allegedly) but have "light" or spiritual sources of nourishment. Relatively common in Eastern traditions but not unknown in Christianity, a prime example being St. Teresa of Avilar.

Your tax dollars at work.

This is worth investigating and it shouldn't cost allot..

A couple of guy's to watch him past the threshold where he should just starve to death would be enough to either warrant further studies or dismiss it as a hoax.

(Besides, it beats taxpayer funded, cow fart studies any day)

[AM2000]

I'd like to see corroboration of this from a news source in the US. Preferably from NASA :)

[Jhoffa_]

Oh yeah.. I am sure NASA will rush right out and go public on this.

If anything their scientists will be wearing those groucho glasses with the attached stache' for this adventure.

The Big Food Cartel is gonna step in and shut this down.

[VadeRetro]

CAUTION: Professional charlatan. Do not try this at home!

[tubebender]

Every evening he looks at the sun for one hour without batting an eyelid

Fried Eyeballs anyone...

[rellimpank]

--yeah--let's see him do the Indian rope trick (climb an unsuspended rope and disappear in a puff of smoke) for an encore--

[StolarStorm]

As dirty as water is in India he may be getting all the nourishment he needs just from the crud he drinks. He also lives quite well on US outsourcing dollars. Not eating allows him to undercut his American counterparts.

LOL!

Yeah, it's probably bogus.. but it would cost little more than a couple of plane tickets to check it out.

There's been several stories on this guy, btw..

I would like to see it put to bed, either way..

"The Big Food Cartel is gonna step in and shut this down."

Does this mean I have to turn in my 4000 mile per gallon carburator. I got it from my exwifes half bothers adopted daughters ex-husband who was the son of the ex chief of the pakistani air force (who now resides under a rock out in the desert). If so I would have to park my beloved chevy LUV pickup. Just asking

Is that water "fire" water?

[prisoner6]

Hey, No secret! Been doing it for YEARS!

One word...

BEER.

Is that water "fire" water?

Excellent point! I can easily survive for years on an "all liqued" diet. Just let me have my trusty blender.

TGhere is nothing hasty about my skepticism. But fine, lets stick him in a cage, with strict control over what fluids he recieves (Campbell's extra chunky?)then come back in a year. If he's still alive, we investigate further.

[Porterville]

India is where they came up with:

1. Snake Charmers
2. Rope Climbers
3. Nail Beds
4. Glass Walkers
5. FireWalkers

All B.S. Why should this be any different??

"(Besides, it beats taxpayer funded, cow fart studies any day) "

If it turns out to be true, you do realize they will pass a sunlight tax. And New Zealand has already passed a cow fart tax.
