Well duh! I graduated college with a 4.0 by sleeping on books. I absorb knowledge thru my skin like she can live 4 years by have her adapted lungs get water from the atmosphere.

These days, rather than being the government-run news organization of the USSR, Pravda is pretty much a tabloid. One only has to look at the headlines of some of their other articles (such as "Human eyes possess destructive power of laser") to ascertain the validity of this source. *grin*

I suppose its possible if you could suspend the laws of physics and biology.

I read about this lady a few months ago. Someone tried to verify her claims by observing her closely for a few days. She didn't eat or drink. She also started passing out and became ill. They called of the experiment. She does eat and drink, just when no one is watching.

If this is the same woman I read about several months ago, it's actually quite disturbing since she encourages others to follow her and a couple people have (duh!) died of starvation because they believed her.

But even if one *could* go for years and years without any food or water, why would one *want* to?

I love eating and cooking. Love it, love it, love it.

This is actually an old bit - I first heard about people calling themselves "Breatharians" who believe that you do not need to eat or drink to sustain life. Wiley Brooks,a proponent of this lifestyle back in the 90's, was caught eating fast food in Arizona and California while touring to promote his "way of life".

Check out the Wiki for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breatharian

The most outspoken proponent of this hokum is Ellen Greve, whose books and websites have been linked to at least three deaths.

My favorite quote about her is: "Dr Dee Dawson, eating disorder specialist at the Rhodes Farm Clinic in north London, said simply that Greve was an "irresponsible nutter"."

Breath of fresh air, anyone?!
