Mitch?
Looks too lively for him.
He's not allowed to die until his student loans are paid off.
I've heard tales of Tibetan monks who meditate so hard they mummify themselves
It’s not just meditation, but it’s also a strict diet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_mummy
Some Shingon monks in Japan practiced Sokushinbutsu (即身仏), which caused their own death by adhering to a wood-eating diet consisting of salt, nuts, seeds, roots, pine bark, and urushi tea. They were then buried alive in a pine-wood box with the only opening being a tube for air, meditating in lotus position and occasionally ringing a bell to signal they were alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the box would be dug up and treated as a buddha, granting favor provided it was preserved.
Yeah, no thanks
I hung out with one of these corpses in Tashi Jong. He was a togden.
He doesn't look a day over a hundred and seven
ah shit, i thought they finally released a photo of ol' Mitch.
Please label NSFL, thank you
Why would you screenshot that site here?!
And also a lot of us, maybe a majority of us, don't care if this was a recycled joke from Reddit because it's not like we've seen it on Reddit ... we don't use that place.
