Wikipedia says that:

Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate. Hibernation conserves energy, especially during winter. Hibernation may last several days or weeks depending on species, ambient temperature, and time of year. The typical winter season for a hibernator is characterized by periods of hibernation interrupted by sporadic euthermic arousals wherein body temperature is restored to typical values. Hibernation allows animals to conserve energy during the winter when food is short. During hibernation, animals drastically lower their metabolism so as to tap energy reserves stored as body fat at a slower rate.

At a later point, it also states:

"Before entering hibernation most species eat a large amount of food and store energy in fat deposits in order to survive the winter."

Fact no. 24 of Alan Greenspan's facts, states that:

"Alan Greenspan doesn't sleep, he just hibernates while his brain backs up"

Why am I talking about hibernation? I was thinking about what could be a plausible explanation of why I've been away so long from my blog :-)

Taking into consideration all the facts described so far, I present this as reasonably conclusive evidence that my long absence from my blog was also most definitely a case of hibernation. There was also the small matter of finishing up my MBA. But anyways I feel all refreshed and I'm rearing to go. Some more pounds, sure! I promise to get rid of them this summer!

Fortunately I didn't have to go search too long for something this time - for I stumbled upon this incredibly hilarious item that I've got to share. A 30-year old man approached Mumbai High Court with an unprecedented petition, reports the Hindustan Times here.

“I am the supreme lord and the god of all religions. I am Jesus Christ, Lord Ram, Lord Krishna and even Gautam Buddha. Earlier, I was born as Alexander the great,” Dharmendra Mishra told the court.

This despite the humbling fact that this person works as an ordinary employee at a call center. Incredible, huh? Clearly there appears to be no discrimination in divinity (whew!)

The court dismissed the ‘divine’ petition, saying that such a case does not fall under the jurisdiction of the judiciary. What an anticlimactic end!
