Amazing story (http://www.msnbc.com/news/927602.asp?cp1=1)

HE WAS on the run from Saddam Hussein’s police in 1981, and instead of fleeing into exile, he decided to stay at home and hide.
       Inside a false wall he built between two rooms.
       For as long as it would take.
       It took 22 years.

They offered to build that guy a new home to his own specifications for free, just outside of Baghdad.

The guy wanted his house to be 3' by 5' with no windows!

Thats amazing if it's true!

But I need more details...  all of his food and supplies came from his mother?  Surely she must have left for a day or two somewhere along the line.

That one lightbulb must have burned out...

Why would life worth living if you can't live outside a box?  I don't think I'd last ONE year let alone 22!  Hell, I'd go nuts after one week!

I rather get killed than do something like that.

I would have to have an internet connection and a computer, otherwise I'd go nuts like Octavius.  AH would be an integral part of me keeping my sanity (or insanity depending on how you look at it).

(Edit)

I take it back, I couldn't live without interacting with my kids.  I'm sure this guy would have done differently if he had a family of his own.
