Indian patient Prahlad Jani (Mataji), who claims he has survived without food and water for more than seven decades

Prahlad Jani is being held in isolation in a hospital in Ahmedabad, Gurjarat, where he is being closely monitored by India's defence research organization, who believe he may have a genuine quality which could help save lives.

He has now spent six days without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body has not yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration.

Mr Jani, who claims to have left home aged seven and lived as a wandering sadhu or holy man in Rajasthan, is regarded as a 'breatharian' who can live on a 'spiritual life-force' alone. He believes he is sustained by a goddess who pours an 'elixir' through a hole in his palate. His claims have been supported by an Indian doctor who specializes in studies of people who claim supernatural abilities, but he has also been dismissed by others as a "village fraud."

India's Defence Research Development Organisation, whose scientists develop drone aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles and new types of bombs. They believe Mr Prahlad could teach them to help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to hang on until help arrives.

"If his claims are verified, it will be a breakthrough in medical science," said Dr G Ilavazhagan, director of the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences.

"We will be able to help save human lives during natural disasters, high altitude, sea journeys and other natural and human extremities. We can educate people about the survival techniques in adverse conditions with little food and water or nothing at all."

So far, Mr Prahlad appears to be standing up to scrutiny. He has not eaten or drunk any fluids in six days, and similarly has not passed urine or a stool in that time. He remains fit and healthy and shows no sign of lethargy. Doctors will continue observing him for 15 days in which time they would expect to see some muscle wastage, serious dehydration, weight loss,and fatigue followed by organ failure.

It is common in India for Jains and Hindus to fast, sometimes for up to eight days, without any adverse affects, as part of their religious worship. Most humans cannot survive without food for 50 days. The longest hunger strike recorded is 74 days.

According to Dr Sudhir Shah, who examined him in 2003, he went without food or water for ten days in which urine appeared to be reabsorbed by his body after forming in his bladder. Doubts were expressed about his claim after his weight fell slightly at the end of the trial.

A driver had a narrow escape after he reversed his car through a brick wall on the seventh floor of a multi-story parking garage.

The 67-year-old driver got his foot stuck between the brake pedal and the accelerator as he tried to reverse into a spot in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His white Mercedes C-class immediately shot backwards, picking up enough speed to smash through the external wall of the Bank of America parking garage.

Luckily for the un-named driver, the car stopped with its trunk poking through the wall. The vehicles parked directly beneath were not so lucky as bricks rained down, bashing roofs and smashing windshields.

Illinois teen admits spiking mom's coffee with antifreeze

A Lindenhurst teenager admitted Wednesday he put antifreeze in his mother's coffee maker.

Michael Tangney Jr., 18, pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after a meeting of the lawyers in the case and the judge determined he is likely to be placed on probation.

Tangney, of the 300 block of Northgate Road, was arrested in November after his mother, Joyce Tangney, was hospitalized with ethylene glycol poisoning.

The substance, which is used to make antifreeze and de-icing solutions, worked slowly in Joyce Tangney's system and caused her to fall ill several days after she ingested it.

Assistant State's Attorney Tim Niehus said Joyce Tangney was hospitalized, but has since made a full recovery.

Police questioned her son, and he admitted he had put the antifreeze into the coffee maker as a practical joke. Tangney was originally charged with heinous battery, a felony requiring a prison sentence of six to 30 years upon conviction.

Associate Judge Theodore Potkonjak met with Niehus and Tangney's attorney, William Murphy of Chicago, in his chambers for about 20 minutes to discuss the case.

When they returned to open court, Potkonjak told Tangney he would approve a move to reduce the charge to an offense allowing a sentence of probation.

Potkonjak said he was doing so after a review of Tangney's personal history and mental and physical health problems.

He also said it had been made clear to him that Tangney's parents did not want their son to go to prison.

"You obviously had some rebuilding to do at home in terms of trust issues," Potkonjak said. "But you have a lot going for you in that you have loving and supportive parents and you need to take advantage of that."

Tangney was allowed to plead guilty to aggravated battery, and the other charges were dropped.

Potkonjak said that unless "something surprising" was revealed in a pre-sentence investigation of Tangney, he would likely be sentenced to probation when he returns to court June 18.

Unpaid dog-waste removal firm pays back - in poop

A dispute between a Bend, Oregon dog owner and a dog waste removal service got more than a little messy this week, when The Bomb Squad went from collecting - to depositing.

Melinda Hofmann, owner of The Bomb Squad dog waste pick-up service, tried to collect a $150 payment from Deborah Dillow on Monday night.

When Dillow didn't answer the door, Hofmann went to her truck to write another notice - but she quickly changed her mind.

"I started to go back and write another note, but I just decided to give her poop back," Hofmann said Wednesday.

So then, from the back end of her truck, Hofmann started slinging feces - 30 gallons of it, according to police - onto Dillow's front yard.

Hofmann admitted she wasn't exactly thinking rationally at the time, but that didn't stop her.

"Actually, once I started doing it, I kind of lost all rational thought together and I just got into this mode of emptying bags," she said. "And as I was flinging the poo all over her yard - it felt really good, and I just kept doing it."

Hofmann has been making a living picking up other people's dog poop for about 10 years.

She said she has a loyal stable of clients, most of whom are good about paying their bills on time.

Once in a while, though, she runs into folks who are late with payments, or don't pay at all - but rarely, she said.

Monday night, Hofmann didn't stop tossing the poo until police arrived at the gross scene.

"Very messy," police Sgt. Dan Ritchie said. "I would imagine it probably took the homeowners' quite some time to clean that mess up."

Actually, it took hours - with the help of neighbors.

Deb Dillow politely declined to be interviewed on camera Wednesday. But through tears, she said she was "extremely embarrassed" by the incident, and had vowed repeatedly to pay Hofmann.

Dillow said she is battling cancer right now, and recently had to spend $700 on medication.

Ritchie said he understands the frustration business owners have with delinquent clients.

"There is an appropriate way to deal with it, and this certainly is not it," he added.

Hofmann was taken away in handcuffs and charged with criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and offensive littering.

As for Hofmann - she said she was just down to her last straw.

"To take the right steps would be to hire a collection person or to take her to small claims court," she said. "But do I have regrets for dumping poop back in her yard cause she's a slacker client? Nope."

JOKE: A cowboy, riding across the prairie, came upon a Indian lying buck-naked

A cowboy, riding across the prairie, came upon a Indian lying buck-naked on his back with a huge erection.

"What are you doing?" he asked. The Indian looked at the shadow of his dick and said,

"Checking the time. It's 1 PM."

The cowboy rode on, but soon came upon another naked Indian lying on his back with another huge erection.

The cowboy asked, "What are you doing?

Telling time?" The Indian replied, "Yep. It's 3 PM."

The cowboy rode on until he came upon third naked Indian, lying on his back and masturbating.

The cowboy asked, "What in the hell are you doing?"

The Indian replied, "Winding my watch!
