[QUOTE=Gordy H.;21664050]Alright, while I admit that something that we don't yet understand could be occurring, I think we can all admit that the simplest answer is that it's a hoax. The simplest answer tends to be the right one.[/QUOTE]
There's nothing there to not understand, it's plain as day. It's a hoax.
The only strange part about this is that he supposedly figured out how to do this when he was 13.
it's india there full of crazy stuff
>_>
[QUOTE=ryandaniels;21663237]The posts in support of this story's claims are shocking and quite funny.[/QUOTE]
Simply because of the social stigma attached to spiritualism. This could have came from any reliable source, however when challenging anyone's beliefs(ie science) people will get extremely defensive.

And if you google the article name "Man 'survives without food' for 70 years", you'll find many reliable news sources about this.
I'm kinda starting to believe in it, the scientists just made this up or this is real, no other options.
Maybe when he was meditating, he "sleepwalked" and got food?
[QUOTE=The golden;21648999]It doesn't, it's bullshit.
Anyone with even a grade 5 science education could see how this is bullshit.[/QUOTE]
explain how he has survived since 22nd april UNDER SURVEILLANCE without food or water..............
awwww, sorry to hear that your grade 5 science education couldn't help you there
[QUOTE=Maximo13;21646983]But he dies if you wait a week. You get his rifle.[/QUOTE]

The parrot on his shoulder? That's his fucking spotter. No joke. You can hold him up and get his camouflage, which makes you photosynthetic. Later in the game you encounter the ghost of every boss so far in a river. His is just floating down the river on its stomach, with the parrot shouting "GRAAAAWK. GRANDPA. GRANDPA".
really this guy alone is reason to buy mgs3.
Although, it would be neat to live without food and water.
I love to eat, all the different flavors and such.

i couldnt live without pomegranate.
i wonder what photosynthesis tastes like
Just like in any video game.
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;21659050]
b)somehow, he can get energy from a different source other than just eating and drinking, maybe absorbs energy from matter that collides with him or sunlight, doesnt really matter how
c)our laws of conservation of energy is wrong, and somehow he CAN create energy.[/QUOTE]
What is this i don't even...
Is he still preserving or did he die yet?

So either someone is doing a shitty job/lying or pretty much everything we know about the universe is wrong.
Not exactly a tough choice.
Wow. I hope this is true, it would be soo cool.
But 70years. Its prietty hard to see.
Not as crazy as something out of indiana jones and the temple of doom!

Your posts on this site get progressively fucking stupider the more you post.
I don't get why we think that what we do know about the universe is definitely right. Just because it's never been wrong as far as we know, doesn't mean it CAN'T be wrong.

Thousands of years of observation (don't eat food = die) VS. this one guy
that's why
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;21632674]I call bullshit.[/QUOTE]
I agree, Certainly someone could probably survive a month or two without food or water, and thats way beyond the natural days, I'm sure this man is doing something in secret, I don't know what, but you cannot survive a month without water.
I seriously doubt anything will become of it. This isn't the first time some Yogi has made fantastic claims, such as being able to stop their hearts and still live for hours on end, or being able to levitate through power of mind. As usual though, it ends up being bullshit.

It more or less does. Do you know the level of energy it would take to do that, not to mention, know how? No one possess that much of either.
What will you say if this DOES turn out to be true?
[editline]12:13AM[/editline]
just a hypothetical situation, no matter how impossible it is to us.
Like many have said, hoax until proven otherwise (which I don't see happening). If it's true, massive changing in the way we understand things.
If false, nothing of value was lost.

It's a little bit more convincing since he's been under surveillance, but there's probably an explanation for that.
He hasn't died yet, what if he is immortal, but he doesn't know it? :o
[B][I][U][URL="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100510/tod-starving-yogi-astounds-indian-scient-451ab4f.html"]UPDATE with source[/URL][/U][/I][/B]
[QUOTE]An 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent seven decades without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors who studied him during a two-week observation period.
Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television.
During the period, he neither ate nor drank and did not go to the toilet.
"We still do not know how he survives," neurologist Sudhir Shah told reporters after the end of the experiment. "It is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is."
The long-haired and bearded yogi was sealed in a hospital in the city of Ahmedabad in a study initiated by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the state defence and military research institute.
The DRDO hopes that the findings, set to be released in greater detail in several months, could help soldiers survive without food and drink, assist astronauts or even save the lives of people trapped in natural disasters.
"(Jani's) only contact with any kind of fluid was during gargling and bathing periodically during the period," G. Ilavazahagan, director of India's Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), said in a statement.
Jani has since returned to his village near Ambaji in northern Gujarat where he will resume his routine of yoga and meditation. He says that he was blessed by a goddess at a young age, which gave him special powers.
During the 15-day observation, which ended on Thursday, the doctors took scans of Jani's organs, brain, and blood vessels, as well as doing tests on his heart, lungs and memory capacity.
"The reports were all in the pre-determined safety range through the observation period," Shah told reporters at a press conference last week.
Other results from DNA analysis, molecular biological studies and tests on his hormones, enzymes, energy metabolism and genes will take months to come through.
"If Jani does not derive energy from food and water, he must be doing that from energy sources around him, sunlight being one," said Shah.
"As medical practitioners we cannot shut our eyes to possibilities, to a source of energy other than calories."
