PARIS - A Frenchman lost in a labyrinth of disused mushroom caves said he had survived 35 days by eating rotten wood and clay, after being rescued only thanks to a teachers’ strike.

Jean-Luc Josuat-Verges, 48, told French newspapers he had gone to the deserted caves at Madiran in the Pyrenees in December seeking isolation during a spell of depression which had left him considering suicide.

While wandering through the cave network the father-of-two’s flashlight stopped working, and he was unable to find his way out.

His abandoned car was found 35 days later by three children who were not at school because their teachers were on strike. The children alerted police who rescued Josuat-Verges from the caves. French media said he had lost 40 lb. and was “weak.”

That's good to hear that he got back just in time for his next scheduled bath.

As long as you have water you can live for around 2 months or more (depending on bodyfat) without any food. He probably did more harm than good to his body by eating that crap.

you might be wrong about the bath... uppon an information gathering in france (by french people), about 2.8 millions of french never take a shower or a bath. Ne-ver... not even once a month.

I guess i am using someone else's water (i have 2 showers a day, one on morning to feel fresh and one on evening to feel clean) :P

Oh come on, are you serious? That doesn't even make sense. How can this be?

You sure about that? 2 Months? That's with say, doing absolutely nothing to contain your energy, right?

But who in their right mind would just lay and wait for someone to save them? You'd go insane by doing nothing, even if you did have very little energy left, you'd go and try to find nourishment...I know I would.

Why do a lot of topics have to steer into putting down the french people? Christ people, he was just a person who lived for 35 days on inedible items, let's not focus on what country he is from. :eye: :eye:
