[ummmm]

Have you got a link?

[boxtops]

He's the subject of scientific investigation, according to the press report I saw a couple of days ago. He's some sort of holy man, he looked lean but fit enough in the photo. They say he is an enigma, the scientists don't know how he's kept going. If it's true, then a curry would probably kill HIM, not the other way round!

[New2Quizzes]

He'd be a cheap man to have round for dinner!

This is the link here ummmm

[Sqad]

It's a scam.

[Whickerman]

Could I be the first to call boIIocks on this one please?

[redman41]

Agree Squad, something fishy there I think !

[NoMercy]

But when we sweat, we lose moisture. Everyone sweats to a certain degree and we need to replace the lost moisture. Possibly the chap in question has a unique metabolic system??

[joggerjayne]

Wow ... that's what I call a diet !!

[jno]

a scam that seems to have been working pretty well for 11 days so far, then.

[Sqad]

jno...one can last 10days without food and water.......and that is the only time that he has been under constant medical observation.

[jno]

put it this way, Sqad, if you were trying on a scam, would you do it in front of scientific testers and Sky reporters?

I'm not saying he hasn't eaten for 150 years, I'm just saying let's wait and see what the study produces.

[tamborine]

he eats/smokes grass........betcha !

[TTG]

Put a bag of chips in front of him. Then sprinkle them with salt and vinegar. Waft the smell towards him. Next day headlines "83 year old man eats chips".

[Jemisa]

Is it April 1st ?

[AlBags]

Laughable ... No human can live without food/water intake of some sort for very long.

[cazzz1975]

cods, he should be under scrutiny for a longer period like a month, if he is a faker then we will see evidence of it during the month

[askyourgran]

I don't believe it, he must drink something at least to hydrate his body. He'd be dessicated otherwise.

So he wears red and has a nose ring, do you think that is a clue?

[sandyRoe]

Well, he's not going to eat you out of house and home.

[jno]

well, the observation is continuing, cazzz. If he hasn't been to the loo since April 22, presumably he hadn't eaten for a few days before that either.

I don't think they'll find that you can last forever without food or drink. But you might find some way of greatly reducing your intake, and I imagine that's what the study's about.
