He looks like carrion :lol:

I just get the feeling if someone pokes him with a stick, he's going to crumble into a heap of Buddha-boy bones.

Anyway, I can only postulate, in conclusion, that Nepal hasn't been introduced to the modern wonder of professional sports and television :wasntme:

One can only postulate that he is Ram Bomjon.

A fence was built around Ram's tree to prevent pilgrims prodding him, then a second, and now a third is planned, as well as a bus park, leaving Ram at the centre of an ever growing circle of rubbish.

Damn it. Those damnable Nepalese just have to always put a hamper on things :(

"Devotees claim that Ram Bomjon, who is silently meditating beneath a tree, has not eaten or drunk anything since he sat down at his chosen spot six months ago."

"The fervour increased last week when a snake is said to have bitten Ram, and a curtain was drawn around him."


No wonder this kid is glowing he hasn't eaten anything in 6 months and he has been bitten by a snake. Somebody call the child welfare people, this kid needs a meal and some medical attention.

Anyone else find it interesting that only one english news site in all the net has bothered posting this story?

Smells like hoax

He hasn't eaten in six months? Wow, weird.

It's only on one English site? HOAX!
