'Saint' rolls 2500km for peace
2004-09-20
An Indian holy man trying to promote peace by rolling on the ground all the way from India to Pakistan has been barred from crossing the border because he has no passport, officials said on Monday. Mohan Das, best known as Lotan Baba or Rolling Saint, began his 2 500km journey on January 28 shortly after the leaders of South Asia's nuclear-armed rivals initiated talks aimed at ending five decades of hostility.
That's working well. I feel more peaceful already. I'll bet Madonna does, too...

#3  SH, my guess is that he's rolling ZigZag.

#2  If he had been rolling from Pakland to India he could've chosen from seventeen passports...

#1  Does he recommend a specific tread pattern and material for the vestments of his followers? Some may want to follow his example. It might depend on local terrain, but I'd hate for beginning rollers to have to learn by trial and error.
