Maybe the boy buys it, but I can't say I do. come on now, you can't go 6 months with no water or food. maybe he drinks water, I don't know, but it's still too long without food, even buddha didn't go inhumanly long in meditation. frankly I wish people would stop trying to turn him into a mystical god-like being with magical powers and all that crap. Buddha never claimed to have super powers, or displayed it, or claimed to be above human beings. *sigh* but some people just can't believe in someone unless they attach a bunch of magic hocus-pokus
