Man defies explanation, observed, no food/water 10 days
    #2136299 -

This is similiar to this post I made some time ago.

This guy claims he hasn't eaten or drunk anything for decades. While I find it EXTREMLEY difficult to believe, he has stunned the doctors who brought him in and studied him. He went for 10 days with no food or water.

I find this extremely puzzling:

"...that despite no water entering his body, urine nonetheless appeared to form in his bladder - only to be re-absorbed by the bladder walls."

I thought I have heard of stories of bladders being used as water storage like canteens. Aren't they an impervious barrier to fluid?

Thoughts?

A bear's bladder is able to re-absorb water from the urine. It uses this ability in order to hybernate, as it won't be drinking anything for the duration of its hibernation.

As for humans...no idea :smirk:

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

I've heard about these people... apparently they need the sun to sustain themselves.

The body, just like the mind, can do marvelous things. Bear with heart, build outlasting body.

I wonder if you could pay a plastic surgeon to cut a hole in your palette. You'd save so much money on liquids.
