Wow, this is pretty intense - there's a 16-year old boy in Nepal who has been meditating for months now, and villagers say he hasn't eaten or drunk anything for 6 months.

I wonder if there's some thing scientists don't know about yet that enables bodies to withstand that, by going into some kind of hibernation, since there are records of other monks doing the same thing, also you have the record of Jesus (who was fully human!) doing the same thing (although not necessarily hibernating ;) for 40 days.

Anyways, it'll be interesting to see if the scientists figure anything out - like, it's 3am, the boy super-quick pulls out a hidden Pepsi can from his cloak, takes a gulp, and instantly goes back into meditation.
