Didn't he only get just south of Sheffield though??

Oh, further than that. Some Sherpas found him just below the north col of Everest.

Long way to go to sell double glazing.

There was once a Yorkshireman who believed that all these expeditions to climb Everest were a big over the top southern woofty poofty exaggeration and that he could stride to the top with nothing more than a tweed jacket and a sturdy walking stick. So off he went and was found a year later. I don’t think they bothered defrosting him.

In 1988 Lani Marcia Roslyn Morris, 53, was not feeling too well so she thought it a good idea to travel from Melbourne to Brisbane for some "spiritual cleansing". Jim Vadim Pesnak claimed to be able to cure her if she became a 'breatharian'. Breatharians belive they can survive by breathing air and living on light and she was to undertake a 21-day initiation process into breatharianism which involved seven days without any nourishment at all including water, and then a further 14 days on limited liquids.. Unfortunately for Ms Morris her condition deteriorated more and she became paralysed down one side, could not talk, and was vomiting a black tar-like substance while she lay in Mr. Pesnak's caravan in the backgarden on Beck Street, Ormiston, in bayside Brisbane. Mr. Pesnak did not call a doctor as he believed Ms Morris was only undergoing a spiritual blockage and would solve this by just breathing more. End of the story was that Ms. Morris died and Mr. Pesnak, 63, went to jail for 6 years and his wife Eugenia, 60, went to jail for 3 years on charges of manslaughter

I seem to remember the breatharians. they claimed you can get all of your bodily needs from the air

oxygen, food and water.

One of them went out into the outback iirc, to prove it. she died pretty quick.

Some utter genius right here.

I liked this bit; 'The holy man then said he needed to conduct a ritual that could only be done at night, outdoors, and after he had slept with a woman, drunk alcohol and rubbed himself in ash. '

Yeah, I have special powers after a good shag and a few bevvies too.

...could only be done at night, outdoors without witnesses, a knife....

The morning after a night out like this I could kill anyone with the smell of my horrible body most of the next day!!!

This explains why a lot of Bobs believe a database doesn’t need a data model, big projects don’t need version control and clients don’t need to test anything before implementing it.

Plenty quickness that way.

[Mich the Tester]

Some of the Bobs at last ClientCo claimed that you don't need to eat at all and they'd personally witnessed people who never eat or drink anything.

These guys were Jains and didn't anything with a root! No garlic or onion or spuds! Only stuff that had fallen off trees.

One reason is that Indian politicians nurture and shelter gurus to give them spiritual credibility, use their followers as vote banks, or to mask sexual or criminal activity

Thank goodness for British democracy.

Cool stuff this. Some spiritualist ‘guru’ claimed on TV in India that he could kill a man just by his 'mystical powers'. So some chap in the audience said ‘alright then, kill me’. He tried and tried of hours, with predictable results, at least, predictable for a sceptic.
