I know that faith alone is a very unreliable guide to the truth. But I want very badly to believe this is true, and I would like encourage as many other pastors as possible to attempt the same thing. Who knows, one of them might actually succeed and win the 2023 Jesus Hat, and if none of them do, at least they might inspire lots of lay christians to follow suit. The world would be a better (if not necessarily holier) place.

I don't even believe the 18-day record- food, maybe, but water? Dehydration can kill in as little as two or three days... I might believe a week, at the very most, in a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 humid environment, with 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 documentation by medical professionals... but more than 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦 that? Guinness either missed something, or they were paid to miss something. Humans aren't camels; we have no internal means of storing water for later use, and we leak like sieves from all over every part of our bodies on a constant basis.
