"Buddha Boy" Vanishes

Sunday November 23, 2008
Reuters reports that Ram Bahadur Bamjon, the so-called "Buddha Boy" of Nepal, has disappeared. No need to be alarmed; this is part of a pattern.
Ten days ago Bamjon reappeared after almost a year when he had disappeared in order to meditate in the jungle. This is the third time Bamjon has disappeared since his first appearance three years ago.
So look for him to pop out of the jungle again either next year, or whenever his banking account is running low.
