A 50-year-old Czech man has survived 10 days buried underground in a wooden coffin without food and water, setting what he claims is a new world record, the CTK news agency reported Friday.

Zdenek Zahradka, a holy man or fakir, was connected with the outside world only by a ventilation pipe and said the most difficult thing to endure during the feat was severe thirst.

Zahradka said he spent most of the time sleeping or contemplating and sometimes spoke to friends through the pipe.

"While I was underground I thought about all the things happening in the world, and I realised that human life is so futile that we must be glad for the time given to us. We should respect our lives."

4. How pathetic...

I mean, really! He had a ventilation tube, and even spent time talking to friends!

He may as well have spent ten days in a closed cardboard box in his living room!
