Just a quickie note here:

I read about this Tibetan monk who is baffling modern day
scientists. He has functioned normally for the past 30
years or so WITHOUT A SINGLE MOMENT OF SLEEP.

It sounds absurd and impossible, but you might have
already heard of the phenomenon of mind over matter.
Shaminism, ESP, Mysticism, all of this might be explained
by mind over matter. Perhaps this sleepless state which
the Tibetan monk achieved is a fruit of superior mental
discipline.

or all of it might be explained by clever charlatans and a hyper-active
media, who knows? =)


At any rate, wouldn't it be great to be able to go on
without sleep?

oh wow! a crossover between ranma and "beggars in spain"!! that would be
awesome =) although i have no idea what the plot would be =)

if you want to read a cool book about people not sleeping, try it, i
belive it's by nancy kress (sp) but i could quite easily be entirely wrong
=)

actually, "beggars in spain" would probably work better with BGC, but then
i would have thought combining ranma and shadowrun would have been
dificult till i read shadowrunner.

anyone whos read "beggars in spain" and is more creative than me feel up
to the task of a ranma crossover? =)
