What is his endgame here? Is there a limit to how long they can hold him on suspicion? I seem to recall past cases where people were held for years because they didn’t confess and the cops didn’t have the evidence to convict.

I’m lucky if I can hold it for 40 minutes. This guy is super human…

Yeah, I’m just amazed by his fortitude unless he swallowed something that’s causing an obstruction and they haven’t realized it yet somehow. I don’t get that kind of leeway with my bowels. Past a certain point it’s not will I or won’t I… it’s just a question of where.

In the Nazi camps, prisoners were forced to hold in their poop (even with the little food they were given). If they pooped, they got beaten or shot. It was a cruel game the guards would play.

Just the context is funny as hell. Thanks.

This almost seems impossible. Is he also on a hunger strike? They don’t mention that. What goes in must come out. It’s almost like he is defying the laws of physics.

I have a rather slow system, but I couldn’t fathom how one could forgo 40 days? All cheese diet?
