Man 70 years with no food/drink

This is kind of off topic but, why does this stuff rarely happen in like the UK and these sorts of countries, developed. Unless his mum had sex with a plant so it was photosynthesis I don't believe this bull.

We need food for energy?

No food no energy, can't run bodily functions, can't respire, Die.

Water makes up 55-78% of the human body. We don't drink water, it firstly screws up the water potential of our cells etc etc so salt to water concentrations are higher, nerves get messed up, we die.

This seems scientifically impossible.

There are two possibilities; A) it's true and he's never enjoyed a decent meal, B) he's lying and will sooner or later be made to look like a complete idiot of an attention seeker.

Either way, sucks to be him!

Cause the UKs population is about 60 million, the worlds population is around 6 billion (Bit higher I know but for the sake of this). Therefore only 1/100 people on Earth are from the UK.

Still their populations aren't that big if you put them together.

I think America is something like 300 million, the EU is 500 million and Australia is about 5 million. That's like 1/8th of people in the world, quite small really considering it holds most the power and wealth.

It does always tend to happen in Asia though lets be fair.

So far he has gone (over) 6 days now without food or water... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-70-years.html

Well, he went for 15 days (I thought it was meant to be 20) and he didn't eat or drink... amazing.
