I remember picking one of those up as a child....somehow I thought it was a good idea to dig my hand down into the sand (in the murky water) and pull up the hard round thing I felt....poor thing must have been as startled as me as I threw it as soon as I pulled it out of the water hahaha

It sneaks out at night and gorges itself on conbini snacks.

Sneaking out late to the 7-Eleven conbini for snacks sounds about right for the typical Japanese hikikomori-recluse, but all I can think of is my Breatharian* butt-buddy in Boulder, Wiley Brooks, who went to the University of Colorado with me there while developing his philosophy that the natural, healthy state for people requires only fresh air and sunlight---not food, water or sleep.

Sadly, reporters often used to track him to catch him on video late at night leaving a 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, hot dog and Twinkies. Later he invented a perfect explanation 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.[31]
On his website, Brooks states that his potential followers must first prepare by combining the junk food diet with the meditative incantation of five magic "fifth-dimensional" words which appear on his website, some of which are words from Kundalini yoga.[32][33] In the "5D Q&A" section of his website Brooks claims that cows are fifth-dimensional (or higher) beings that help mankind achieve fifth-dimensional status by converting three-dimensional food to five-dimensional food (beef).[34] In the "Question and Answer" section of his website, Brooks explains that the "Double Quarter-Pounder with Cheese" meal from McDonald's possesses a special "base frequency" and that he thus recommends it as occasional food for beginning breatharians.[35] He then goes on to reveal that Diet Coke is "liquid light". ---wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia#Wiley_Brooks
