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, the commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat.

Neurologist Sudhir Shah said Jani was under watch for 10 days, with a closed-circuit camera running, and that doctors were convinced he did not break any of his vows, although there was no way of verifying whether Jani has pulled it off for 68 years.

The topic has been done a couple times, so why not gratuitously post pictures of adorable kittens...

Sorry if I posted something that was already being discussed. I read this article originally in The Japan Times, a respectable newspaper. I am not quite sure why it was newsworthy because the accomplishment itself seems very mundane. I think people have gone on hunger strikes for longer. and if you don't eat or drink, then you would naturally not need to relieve yourself (assuming you got it out of your system ahead of the test.
 
This is false and full of fraudulent quackery! It can't be anything paranormal because the paranormal defies the superior skeptical view!



Only bright individuals have been ingenious enough to rightfully conclude that science denies the paranormal and the paranormal denies science since its trying to substitute the sum of what has been accomplished with the scientific method in place of rubbish claims and nonsensical quackery! - !Xx+-Rational-+xX!

Don't apologise - no harm done! It's just that when we start discussing the same topic in several threads it gets a bit difficult to remember which thread you made which point in.

And I hadn't noticed you’re a new poster so welcome to the forum - hope you enjoy it.

You could do with a thorough soak, wash, rinse and spin-dry, towlie.

For 68 years?? Hardly. Oh, you mean the 10 days he was under surveillance? Well, that is typical woowoo type evidence: We watched him not eating or drinking for 10 days, so the 68 years he claims must be true!

Anyhow, being controlled by people who believe in him? :rolleyes:


Sorry. -- Yahve is, as often happens, right. Bring on the kittens!

I'm just doing this because I like the picture. It was a perfectly sensible topic, it had just been discussed to death in two other recent threads.

You guys really are so insensitive. My last cat died a while back from old age and now these pictures are making me...oh, great, now I have guilt! :(
 
Psiload---How did you get a picture of my (now dead) cat?!!!!!!!

I am not making this up. Swear on a book of alien Bibles. I had a cat that looked JUST LIKE...EXACTLT LIKE...Wildcats picture, above. I also had as my second cat, which was a grandson of Wildcat's posted cat, a cat I named "Whitey", that looked JUST LIKE the cat you posted. I am NOT making these up. In fact, both cats weighed about what the pictures of each of these cats look like they would weigh.
