Interesting Stuff

I was reading this story about a teenage boy in Nepal who has been meditating under a peepal tree for the past 6 months without food or water. I figured that if you stop by at 3:00 in the morning, you'll find the kid wolfing down pepperoni pizza.

Then I read this story about an old fakir from India who spent 10 days in a hospital with neither food nor water. Real 24-hour a day medical supervision, inside and out.

Pretty cool... but not for me. I'll stick with the constant supply of burgers and pasta, thank you.

(Now, when you can show me people not sleeping for weeks on end — and aren't meth addicts — then you'll pique my own thirst for knowledge.)
