It must've been like that situation with Mr. Burns having every disease but being kept "healthy" by all his ailments canceling each other out.

On the plus side you’re now the new reigning champ. How’s it feel? (Besides crusty of course)

According to the article that title now goes to Kailish "Kalau" Singh, who has founded a spiritual practice of baked non-washing.

> Kailash “Kalau” Singh, from a village outside the holy city of Varanasi, had not washed for more than 30 years in an attempt to help end “all the problems confronting the nation”.

> He would reject water in favour of what he called a “fire bath”. “Every evening as villagers gather, Kalau … lights a bonfire, smokes marijuana and stands on a leg praying to Lord Shiva".

Imagine how bad a daily weed smoker and fire-starter who hasn't bathed in 30 years must smell.

I love weed. I love bonfires. Hell, I hate to not bath but sometimes I miss a shower or two, depending on how life goes. I barely even have much body odor, people are surprised.

But goddamn, years ago during a deep depression I didn't shower for around 2 weeks. My hair, my skin, it was like a snake shedding, or some invertebrate shedding it's exoskeleton. It all gathers and collects. Also, my balls smelled like ass, and my ass smelled like balls and ass.

Sorry for such a detailed description. My actual point is: collect samples of his body to see the microbial craziness that's going on, hose him down with a giant fire truck's hose, then smoke a giant bowl with MC Dirty Ganja over here

I get making a point. But that man's ballsack has got to be the gnarliest, stinkiest, stickiest grotesque thing on the planet. Right?

I want to better mankind like that, too bad it probably isn't effective, especially for paying the bills.
