Japanese man, 71, arrested for calling phone company 24,000 times to complain, police say

Perhaps he had a couple of phones auto dialing? I thought the headline fit the narrative of the thread, lol. I'm not sure how they would of even counted.

Benefits ... include ... amplified auric field, ... and bringing “prana or solar energy from the sun into the organs within the body which strengthens the organs.

Someone should tell them Seppuku brings the sun to their organs too.
