Sydney is worse because in Canberra you know it's going to be properly cold so you dress and heat your places properly.

Enjoy Bali, ya bogan, and don't forget your boogie board!

Yee Haa early skiing .... friends in Jindabyne say they have had snow falling ALL day!

I'm not going to the snow this season but my daughter is doing a camp there.
I could get her to chuck a hot water bottle out the bus window for you, at the usual place.

It's the coldest May day in Victoria since the year 2000.

This global warming is getting very hot.

It was so cold last night in Rockhampton, I had to close some of the windows.

Yeah had a fire the first time this year ;)

Melbourne's cold May day

Ben Domensino, Wednesday May 29, 2019 - 16:23 EST

Melbourne endured its coldest May day in 19 years on Wednesday.

The temperature at Melbourne's Olympic Park weather station had only reached a top of 10.6 degrees by 4pm on Wednesday.

If this maximum temperature isn't exceeded by 9am on Thursday, this will have been the city's coldest May day since 2000.

The mid-week chill is being caused by a large pool of cold air from the Southern Ocean passing across Victoria. In addition to this wintry air mass, cloud and showers also limited warming in Melbourne on Wednesday.

The air was even cold enough for snow to fall in Ballarat on Wednesday afternoon.

Bought a citronella lamp the other night. Kind of worried where to put the thing. I won't be able to watch it burn in the house. And I am not able to keep an eye on it downstairs.

Cold up this way - the crows are flying backwards to keep the frost out of their eyes, and they're all crying out 'F Ark'.... coldest morning in decades they say, and me old stamping ground at Glen Innes was -10 at the airport... let 'em have a taste of it.

Might be snow near here next week... whoopee!!

Australia has just recorded its warmest start to a year, while the national water storage has fallen to its lowest level in five years at just 46.4 per cent of capacity.

We're not talking millennium drought levels just yet, but in Sydney water restrictions start from this weekend, and all capital city water storages are down from a year ago, bar Perth.

Despite recent rain, and snow even in the past few days, soil moisture levels remain relatively low for large parts of the east and west coasts.

So is this the winter when it could all turn around, when the skies open, the soil gets nicely damp and the dams fill?

The current outlook suggests not

Southern Queensland towns record coldest May morning.

Several May temperature records have been broken with a winter blast hitting southern Queensland overnight.

Applethorpe, Oakey and Dalby have all had their coldest May mornings on record.

The temperature plummeted to -6.1 in Applethorpe, –2.1 degrees below its previous record 13 years ago.

Oakey near Toowoomba dropped to -4.4, which was 0.3 of a degree cooler than its previous record in 2006.

Dalby on the Western Downs had its coldest morning since 1911, recording -3.6.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Gabriel Branescu said it was milder in the state's south-east.

"In Brisbane, while it was 8 degrees this morning, with the chill factor it felt like less than five degrees," he said.

"The feel like temperature at the airport in Brisbane was -1.

BOM has just released its monthly weather review and it was officially Australia's hottest March on record.

Blair Trewin, senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), said March was a continuation of what we saw over summer in a lot of ways.

Not only was it the hottest March, but it has also been the hottest start to the year on record. By a lot.

"We're still getting the occasional cool months but the frequency of record warm months and seasons has gone up quite substantially in the last decade or so with the background long-term warming," he said.

"Whilst we've seen a particularly extreme few months, the background warming trend we see in Australia, as we do globally, is in the order of 0.1 to 0.2 of a degree per decade.

"Projections are that that's expected to continue at least at that rate," he said.

But also according to BoM march -

"Australia      109      +2.35      2nd highest (record +2.53 °C in 1986)      109      +1.90      2nd highest (record +2.11 °C in 2016)      110      +2.13      highest (was +1.87 °C in 2016)"

Oh their mean Temperature? I always wanted to live in a mean temperature. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

BTW - Actually BoM have released their April figures. And that according to them was only the seventh warmest. ;)

Northeastern Australia has had a nice cool Summer. And a cooler Autumn. Not all of Australia falls in the south and southeast corner of the country.

A warm summer

It was the fourth-warmest summer on record for the State of Queensland in terms of mean temperature (1.58 °C above average)
Queensland's mean maximum temperature was the equal seventh-warmest on record (1.50 °C above average); state-wide mean minimum temperature was the third-warmest (1.65 °C above average)

Mean maximum temperatures for summer were warmer than usual in western and southern Queensland, and Seventeen Seventy had its highest summer mean daily maximum temperature on record

It was the third-warmest December on record for Queensland in terms of mean temperature; mean maximum temperatures were warmer than usual in the north and western half of the State during December and the warmest state-wide mean minimum temperature on record for December
Queensland had its warmest January on record in terms of mean temperature (2.46 °C above average), beating the previous record set in 2018; the state-wide mean minimum temperature was the warmest on record, and 2.53 °C above the long-term average, and it was Queensland's fifth-warmest January on record for mean maximum temperature (2.39 °C above average)

A delayed monsoon onset over the Gulf Country resulted in an extended period of hot days in the northwest in January; both Cloncurry and Camooweal had a record run of days at or above 40 °C

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/qld/summary.shtml


* and bear in mind, Australia's "warmest summer on record" is based on NATIONAL AVERAGES - NOT "cherry-picked" hottest or coolest localities

"Hottest day      48.0 °C at Birdsville Airport on 19 Dec 2018"

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/qld/summary.shtml



Birdsville Airport has only been open since 2000. ;)

Birdsville Police Station had its hottest day 24 Dec 1972 at 49.5C.

Even at Birdsville Airport the maximum in November 2006 was 48.5C.

Apart from February, which was considerably above average, Rockhampton, Townsville, and Emerald were either at slight above average, or below average. Hughenden was well below average in February and slightly above average in December and January.

Typically, "a nice cool Summer".

Had we also got more than 260mm of rain over the summer, I am sure that we would have had lower temperatures all around.

I have a citronella lamp burning downstairs. The under house does have ventilation. Much of the reason for the purchase was to ward of mosquitos that were still hanging around. But I do not know if the lamp burning for a few hours will work.

12 degrees at 9pm. 15 degrees at 9:30pm. What the hell is going on Bureau of Meteorology??? Did a plane take off 5 minutes before you took the latest measurements?

Wind direction: 4km/h ESE at 9pm. 11km/r from the South at 9:30pm.

Keep in mind that Rockhampton can get easterlies and have a pleasant winter night. But southerlies and winds coming south-west of us would mean that we get cold nights, no matter when between May and August.

Bloody hell, cold nuf for ya?

I just got told off by some ex-Prison Guard neighbour to put a bloody shirt on. He's all rugged up, while I'm walking around bare-skinned in shorts. Not far from Thredbo/Jindibyne region, the cold winds blowing didn't feel too much bother and I quite enjoyed it (like a respite from the hot memories of Summer). He even had a patch on where he just had a skin cancer removed.

I light up bifenthrin oil lamps under the house. Lamps that I make myself. They burn for 2 days straight in 300mL soft drink bottles. Not only do I have no mosquito problem, but the under the house is actually considerably warmer, that upstairs is kept warmer.

Snow falls in Blue Mountains as NSW warns
'Antarctic winds' will bring extreme weather

Snowfall on a street in Leura, near Katoomba, this morning. - ABC

Residents just 90 minutes out of Sydney have woken up to fresh snowfall this morning, and the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is forecasting a weekend of extreme winter conditions.

Erica Mann, who moved to Blackheath in the Blue Mountains from the sandy shores of Coogee in Sydney's eastern beaches, was ecstatic to find fresh white powder falling in her garden.

She said it was the most snow she had seen there yet.

"I opened the curtains and I could see a huge amount of snow on top of the water tank — it was so exciting," she said.

"It's amazing. I went up the street … and all the houses are completely covered in snow."

She said the snow was deep enough for her dog Missy to leave paw prints.

"The funny thing is she came back really briskly," she said.

Yesterday, destructive winds battered south-east Australia, causing chaos at airports, tearing roofs off buildings and causing a tree to fall onto a car, .

The BOM has warned NSW to brace itself for "Antarctic winds", blowing from south of Tasmania, bringing damaging winds and plummeting temperatures.

"The winds we saw yesterday are extending further north today and will remain strong and gusty throughout the weekend," BOM spokesperson Craig Ryan said.

"There's a possibility of damaging winds up through the Hunter, through the Southern Tablelands, Illawarra and the higher parts of the south coast, west of Bega."

Mr Ryan said there was a possibility wind speeds could exceed 90kph in these regions, but conditions were expected to ease into the evening.

It definitely doesn't sit with this global warming business Bob. My relos live in Oberon in they have had several snows this winter. Just because theres snow doesnt mean its colder just more precipitation. When i came here it was -7 in the mornings and now it has only gotten to -5 at the coldest. Spot

In my area I'm not sure there's much difference in winter temps from what I have experienced in my life. One thing I remember getting as  kids was frost. Going to school and skidding on white lawns. Haven't seen many of those this year.

So no ice age for us? We just get warmer?

Anyway what's that got to do with snow chains for a slight sprinkling of snow, just enough for a dog to leave paw prints in it? Would have disappeared as soon as the sun came out.

BOM forecasts 'Antarctic winds' for NSW weekend
as towns receive first snow in decades


https://www.weatherzone.com.au/news/bom-forecasts-antarctic-winds-for-nsw-weekend-as-towns-receive-first-snow-in-decades/530057


By Kevin Nguyen, Michelle Brown, Mollie Gorman and Niki Burnside, Saturday August 10, 2019 - 15:19 EST

Residents just 90 minutes out of Sydney have woken up to fresh snowfall this morning, and the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is forecasting a weekend of extreme winter conditions.



Erica Mann, who moved to Blackheath in the Blue Mountains from the sandy shores of Coogee in Sydney's eastern beaches two years ago, was ecstatic to find fresh white powder falling in her garden.

She said it was the most snow she had seen there yet.

"I opened the curtains and I could see a huge amount of snow on top of the water tank — it was so exciting," she said.

"It's amazing. I went up the street … and all the houses are completely covered in snow."

She said the snow was deep enough for her dog Missy to leave paw prints.

"The funny thing is she came back really briskly," she said.



Yesterday, destructive winds battered south-east Australia, causing chaos at airports, tearing roofs off buildings and causing a tree to fall onto a car, .

The BOM has warned NSW to brace itself for "Antarctic winds", blowing from south of Tasmania, bringing damaging winds and sending temperatures plummeting.

MY GOD!
HE'S RIGHT!

The World is 'Splitting' in Temperature. The Northern Hemisphere is getting Warmer.
But the Southern Hemisphere is getting Colder.
The Antarctic is Melting and the excessive acceleration of the Pole is what is producing more 'moisture' in the air - but mostly in the 'Warmer North', while the South oCold Dry (like a Beer).

Man! It could make a Man just go outside and just shoot somebody, just for the 'hell' of it.  ::)

Just a leisurely drive up to the Three Sisters, maybe, if I could be farked, but probably not. Tomorrow is City to Surf (first time I haven't run in years) so may just watch the stampede.

I remember picking up melting clumps of Snow in the Campbelltown suburb of Bradbury, as it was 'snowed' on as too was a suburb in the city.
Two 'Spots' in the Sydney Basin that is like a Vortex of many different little 'storms' and weather patterns.
I remember the storm (it was like a cyclone/tornado) that hit only Hoxton Park. I was in it.

I remember my Grandfather saying it used to Snow at Dorrigo.
It used to snow.
It used to snow.
...because the world is getting Warmer.

When I was a kid (bout 18) I was at Chatswood (pre yellow invasion) station and there was a snow flurry. I'd just scored half an ocsar from a sketchy dude at the Charles.

It wouldn't surprise me if they still got snow there, it's like driving through the clouds. Might have to google that...

There was even snow on Mt Dandenong which is
part of the suburbs of Melbourne:

Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of showers, falling as snow this morning. The chance of a thunderstorm this morning and early afternoon. Possible hail during the morning and afternoon. Winds southwesterly 25 to 30 km/h tending southerly 25 to 35 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the late evening.

Weather, traffic updates: Victoria hit with snow as roads are closed


Sophie Welsh, Herald Sun
an hour ago

Victorians woke up to snow blanketing parts of the state this morning, as the state continues to shiver through a cold spell.

Snow fell across Daylesford, the Macedon Ranges, Ballarat and Mt Dandenong this morning, but Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Dean Stewart said that the snow isn’t set to stick around.

“We expect it to stop snowing by the afternoon,” he said.

“The snow level was lowest earlier this morning, but it’ll go back up to 1000m this afternoon.”

Another layer of clothing would have sufficed.

Going for a walk in 7-degree temps. I may be some time.

Its 3 outside
22 inside
My car will take forever to warm up, as diesels do.
I'll have to drive 10 Kim before the damn heater starts to pump out some warm air.

But it's an hours drive to work, so once it warms up, it stays warm.

At work, y nice comfy office will be idling at 22.5 Deg, turned on a hour before I arrive by the early office staff.

And on Friday, I'm off to Townsville for the weekend.

Don't know what you people are complaining about.

Friday was cold in melbourne.

They said 7 but feels like 4.

I say bullshit.

If it feels like 4 then maybe it is 4...... :D

Felt like 2 to me.

6 tea lights lit in my toilet room kept the room between 2am and 6am quite warm. Slept well.

No Ajax as usual you are wrong.
There is a thing called "wind chill" which makes it feel colder than it actually is.
That's why they use thermometers that give an objective reading of the temperature

what cold? Spent yesterday at the beach. I was preparing the pool earlier today. 25 today. 26 yesterday

you're a bunch of whingers

Yeh.  Next week, you will not be saying the same, I reckon.

Haven't had a day under 20 for a month, highest 27 and it doesn't look like changing. No days under 3 or 4 at night this winter. Birds building their nests in the middle of last month.
This is our next week, so much for winter:
Maximum      24°C      27°C      24°C      25°C      20°C      23°C      22°C
Minimum      5°C      7°C      7°C      10°C      4°C      4°C      7°C
Our spring westerly winds which used to come at the start of September came and went at the start of August.

I'm in bed under a doona snuggled up with a beautiful woman. Who cares how low it gets at 3am. If anything, the colder it gets the more she snuggles up :D :D :D

The cold is good for your heath

Used the windscreen wiper for 3 mins today. Been a very dry winter in this region. the Kangaroos are everywhere on the lawns and sporting fields, golf courses as society provides better and more 'grasses'. the Reindeer must be doing it tough  still out in the wild 'bush'. Heaps of Lyrebirds around though and some local got donked on the head by a Koala that fell from a tree in the wind (must have fell asleep on gum-leaf overdose and dropped from the branch of evolution). They can kill you know. Just like Coconuts in the islands.

I love the cold. People wear some cool clothes in winter. Ironically, conceptions are higher in winter months. You would think Summer would be with scantly clad men and women walking around. Maybe we aren't as sexually attractive as we think we are and need 'more' fashion to help us out? :D

I guess I'm unhealthy then. Although I don't use aircon or heating, I take the seasons as they come... and go. You only get so many of them, may as well experience them.

Yes. I try to enjoy the seasons as much for what they are. I prefer cold over hot, as I am mostly very physically active for my type of work. I've walked around on cold days without a shirt (my long hair like a scarf though) just to enjoy it more so a bit. Everest base camp was way colder (our team got halfway up, but had to cancel due to safety concerns like atrocious weather coming for a very long time. We were not 'fool' climbers).

I do like Autumn-like months the most. Clear skies, high clouds, great diving viz, cool breezes and a my lawns covered in leaves which I allow my neighbours to clean up after they have cleared theirs and have mine blow onto theirs. Leaf-Fall, is like Snow-Fall on the lawn - really nice to see.

no i think you have a healthy approach to the weather - ;D i have to have a healthy approach to summer----- but but but----------------how? 

Here's the irony.
Any form of alcohol, even wines - makes you hotter in summer, regardless if it is 'chilled' before you drink it.
Any form of smoking makes you colder in winter. You see the smokers huddled in their little tight groups around the little warm flames on their cigarettes.

Australians in the hot outback drinking 'chilled' beers...  ::)

Can I ask the physiological basis behind this?

5 tealights lit up in the toilet room. Just something to keep the chill and mosquitos away. Dengue fever alert lifted for Rockhampton, too.

Possibly the coldest day of the year tomorrow. I had a swim today  but doesn't count because the water is still warm.

This is my first winter since retiring.

I must say, it's less than comfortable.
I'm used to being in my nice warm office, with my nice warm cup of hot chocolate or herbal infusion.
But I had to warm up my home this morning, and it took a while.
And, horror of horrors, my garage isn't heated.
But it will be very soon, a nice split system so I can comfortably work in my garage.

Has everyone suffered like this for the last 30 years?
How??????

Not much wind and no rain so it's actually rather nice.
The ocean is still 20deg. Supposed to be even colder tomorrow so I'll try get down for a swim in the coldest part of the day.

Do some exercise and you wont feel the cold.  This is the advice I give to all obese lethargic people who all seem to feel the cold more than other normal people.

Played 18 Holes yesterday....badly.
Went for a bike ride today, but the cold on my face and the stupid bloody polystyrene helmet dissuaded me from going more than a few k.

Heading to the pool on Friday to do some laps.
I'm only doing 1k twice a week at the moment as my bursitis is playing up.
I'm hoping to gradually settle back into 2.5 k twice a week.

I hit the bag for 1/2 hour every second day and run through a couple of Kata when I'm not hitting the bag.

Since retiring last year I have lost 4 holes on my belt, but only 9kg in weight.
The quack says its normal to build muscle at first, and as I build more muscle I'll burn more fat and get even fitter.

My sedentary lifestyle while working is going to take a while to fix, but I'm hoping in time to get back at least some of the fitness I had while doing martial arts.
But I'm sleeping better and the aches and pains are all from good old hard work.

But it's still bloody cold.

exercising in the cold facilitates weight loss big time. You
are likely to lose 2x as much by exercising in the cold, swimming is good because your body has to adjust to the lower water temp and burns calories doing so.

Do some exercise and you wont feel the cold.  This is the advice I give to all obese lethargic people who all seem to feel the cold more than other normal people. Played 18 Holes yesterday....badly. Went for a bike ride today, but the cold on my face and the stupid bloody polystyrene helmet dissuaded me from going more than a few k. Heading to the pool on Friday to do some laps. I'm only doing 1k twice a week at the moment as my bursitis is playing up. I'm hoping to gradually settle back into 2.5 k twice a week. I hit the bag for 1/2 hour every second day and run through a couple of Kata when I'm not hitting the bag. Since retiring last year I have lost 4 holes on my belt, but only 9kg in weight. The quack says its normal to build muscle at first, and as I build more muscle I'll burn more fat and get even fitter. My sedentary lifestyle while working is going to take a while to fix, but I'm hoping in time to get back at least some of the fitness I had while doing martial arts. But I'm sleeping better and the aches and pains are all from good old hard work. But it's still bloody cold. exercising in the cold facilitates weight loss big time. You are likely to lose 2x as much by exercising in the cold, swimming is good because your body has to adjust to the lower water temp and burns calories doing so.

I swim in a pool where I swim, they keep the temp around 18 deg, winter and summer.
It's perfect, if a little cool at first.
But as you warm up, it keeps the body comfortable.
When it gets over 22, my skin tingles because my body isn't comfortable.
It also helps with those damn lane hogs that hold up everyone by standing around at each end. They cool down and either have to swim or get out.

I'm not a fast swimmer, 50-55 seconds a lap (50 metre pool)
And tumble turns are slower due to my back.
I use a centre line snorkel to help with the bursitis.

My only complaint is that, even after a shower at the pool and one when I get home, the chlorine smell stays with me all night.

Also, it gets your metabolism running harder and it doesn't just stop the second you warm up. After my workout I picked the kid up from netball, she'd had a good workout too then when we got home wife had the house like a sauna and I couldn't stand it so we both went and sat outside, she had her dinner and I had my mug of bone broth  ;D

A fancy name for soup.

Eerrrrr.

No thanks.
I'll stick to basic stuff like
Pea and ham
Steak and kidney
Tomato
Lambs fry and bacon
Plain old mince stew

The missus does wonders with all sorts of stuff.
Old chook bones she uses to make chicken soup, but not the bones.
Many of the stews use the cheapest meat cuts available, but are tender and sweet after she finishes with them.

My favourite is and always will be plain old tomato soup with cream.

too much meat.

I feel sorry for you people living it up in 0-degree temperatures down south. I have 8.8 degrees shown on the local temperatures. I have just put a heater on and have lit up a number of tea lights just to get some warmth. Beany and jacket inside. I never see temperatures this low until well after I have been in bed. 6am mornings see that temperature. My sister will be shivering her arse off in south Qld. 4.4 degrees where they are now.

It's a terrible Winter storm in Melbourne right now.

Where's all that global warming we were promised?

Warmer in Melbourne than it is in Rockhampton. But that is only by 3 degrees. Raining in Melbourne. It rained 10 mm last night when I went for a walk. Good rain but felt more than 10 mm.

Apparently vegans are shrinking.
Kids brought up on a vegan diet are smaller, weaker and have less dense bones than people who eat meat.

Were you fed a vegan diet perchance?

When overseas, I noted that I was never really cold.
In places like Amsterdam, Sweden, Finland, England, Canada and others, all had central heating builty into their homes.
They had their homes running 24/7 and you generally only wore light clothing inside.

Before going outside you rugged up with all manner of warm clothing, but inside, never cold.

Australia is different, we generally trend toward cooling rather than heating because we dont see the severe cold as do other countries.
We rarely leave our heating on at night, so its always cold getting up in the morning.

Our homes are not as well insulated either.
Overseas they have walls, floors and ceilings are insulated and all windows double glazed.

its all about how we prepare.

Not eating a lot of meat doesnt mean being  a vegan, vegans dont eat animal products at all. Vegetarians dont eat meat. I try and limit my meat intake to about 10 percent of my diet, high consumption of meat is linked to a number of lifestyle illnesses. I may give up meat entirely, see how I go. I exercise a lot so my body will tell me if Im lacking in nutrients. Im def not smaller or weaker than most other males.

I tend to balance my diet.
Red meat probably twice a week, in various forms.
White meat 2-3 times a week
Fish 2-3 times a week. Was more frequently before I sold my boat for a caravan.
With veggies and serials making up the remainder.
Fruit is a bit of a problem, my diverticulitis prevents me from eating stone fruit and some others. But I eat pineapple and oranges frequently.

Prefer smaller rather than larger portions these days, ( helps me sleep better)
Most veggies are raw or simply warmed, not boiled to death.

I don't drink alcohol, have milk rarely, perhaps a couple of times a week.
Water, tea, infusions or simply flavoured with lemon juice are my staples.

Not into sweets, pastries, biscuits or cakes.
But do love chocolate. The darker the better, 90%

I have no idea what you are talking about.
But if it makes sense to you, go for it.

My family has a history of diverticulitis.
Apparently 50 to 60 % of western people have it.
The incidence is lower in Asian and European diets and even larger in the American population.

Possibly due to fast food, fat and other unhealthy diet choices.

Fasting either deliberate or through lack of food is beneficial in moderation and is recommended by many religious recommendations.

Under control with a good diet, moderate intake and intake of probiotics reduces any symptoms to the point that it's never really experienced.

One attack was enough for me.
And once diagnosed, I am ensuring I do not have another.

Ah, but in the Medieval discourse, your family has a history of excess bile. It is a simple matter of TeRmInOlOgY.

Yes, good diet is important, but you'll find your ancestral bile issues may also be treated with regulation of the mind.

As our dear prophet Yeheshua said, man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Fast well, but read, learn and pray.

You'll do alright, you'll see.

I myself have met a woman who lives on herbal tea. True story, all checked.

She's a yogi nun. Doesn't eat. I know people she stayed with - all observed, not made up. She's an Austrian doctor, found yoga, became a nun.

She lives, as it were, not by bread, but by every word of God.

Not by choice either, who would bother? She just turned off food - no longer necessary.

Bile, dear, is also an excess of passion, of greed. Take away the hunger, and you may also take away the bile. It works both ways.

Waste not, want not. Want not, waste not.

Trust me, I'm a melancholic. We have no cause to lie.

Yeah, bullsh1t. All these claims have been checked and dont stand up under scrutiny.  Should have talked to James Randi about it, his million dollars is still waiting to be claimed.

Oh dear, Karnal believes in hocus pocus.

Quote:

Wiley Brooks (1936-2016[42]) was the founder of the Breatharian Institute of America. He was first introduced to the public in 1980 when he appeared on the TV show That's Incredible![43] Brooks stopped teaching shortly before his death in 2016 to "devote 100% of his time on solving the problem as to why he needed to eat some type of food to keep his physical body alive and allow his light body to manifest completely".[44] Brooks claims to have found "four major deterrents" which prevented him from living without food: "people pollution", "food pollution", "air pollution", and "electro pollution".[44] In 1983 he was reportedly observed leaving a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, a hot dog, and Twinkies.[45] He told Colors magazine in 2003 that he periodically breaks his fasting with a cheeseburger and a cola, explaining that when he's surrounded by junk culture and junk food, consuming them adds balance.[46] Wiley Brooks later claimed that Diet Coke and McDonald's cheeseburgers have special "5D" properties. The idea of separate but interconnected 5D and 3D worlds is a major part of Wiley Brooks' ideology, and Wiley Brooks encourages his followers to only eat these special 5D foods, as well as to meditate on a set of magical 5D words.[47] Brooks's institute has set various prices for prospective clients wishing to learn how to live without food, ranging from US$100,000 with an initial deposit of $10,000,[48] to one billion dollars, to be paid via bank wire transfer with a preliminary deposit of $100,000, for a session called an "Immortality workshop".[49] A payment plan was also offered.[50] These charges were typically presented as limited time offers exclusively for billionaires.[51][52]

All these claims have been checked and dont stand up under scrutiny.  Should have talked to James Randi about it, his million dollars is still waiting to be claimed. James Randi himself didn't stand up to scrutiny and never had the million dollars to give. In other words, a fraud. irrelevant, no one was ever able to claim it.

Randi sounds just a bit like Donald Trump ...

It's haram. All true. I myself can testify. You? can you testify that you spent 24 hours a day with her over a significant period of time and kept her under constant observation? Think you drank a few too many bhanglassis mate. what a sucker  ;D

No, but I know people who can. What, you think she drove twenty ks down the Autobahn to the local sauerkratery to scoff herself between her cups of chamomile, just to make it up?
