[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Has anyone heard of this? I've read two articles recently about people fasting for many days. This one is about fasting with beer and water for 46 days. There was a longer article in Harper's this month about a 17 day fast, with only water. The body switches over after a couple days to consuming things called ketones in your fat, which nourishes the body. When we eat, this process isn't necessary since the body consumes the fat in the food we eat. It seems interesting, but I doubt I'd ever have the willpower. I wouldn't be able to give up the ganjah for that long. -----signature----- We have not inherited the Earth from our parents, we have borrowed it from our children.
