The exciting news is now we have a new word champion in a sport that, believe it or not, is dirtier than T&F.
”A man living in India named Kailash "Kalau" Singh could now be the "world's dirtiest man," The Guardian speculated, citing a Hindustan Times article from 2009 reporting that he had not bathed since 2009.”

Well, he was 94, so with or without a shower earlier this year, there was a good chance he might die this year.

So the Hindustan Times reported in 2009 that a man hadn't bathed since 2009? Excellent reporting.

94… Ridiculous. This homeless vagrant looks like the typical mid-40s south Cali. homeless bum. They BS’ed about his age to make it a story.

Seems more like poor editing for this crappy Yahoo article. You see this a lot these days, even from sites with huge money.

my stupid analytical brain is wondering if they were giving him a bath, in desperation, because he was already becoming unwell. doesn't seem like they would just do it randomly after several years going without.

Did that guy never get wet during rain, ever?
He could have lived until 95 if they would have left them in the dry.

I can't stand the smell of strong body odor. I really hope this doesn't start a new trend.

Liberals promote non-bathing as an agenda. Its why liberals invented patchouli oil.

A simple case of hydrophobia. Even members of the most primitive tribes bath occasionally.

Yes. I found the 2009 Hindustan Times article just by searching Singh's name. It actually said (as of 2009) that he hadn't bathed in 35 years. His motivations were either to solve all the problems of the nation, or to get a son (he has 7 daughters) depending on who you ask.

But he was photographed smoking several cigarettes at one time so I think we can assume he was a regular smoker for 80 years and if you can do that without getting sick you are onto something
