Dude follows EVERY rule in the Bible for one year

A man named A.J. Jacobs has spent a full year following all of the rules and commandments of the Bible. What was that like?
After A. J. Jacobs spent a year reading the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica for his book "The Know-It-All," he figured he had the yearlong experiment thing down. How much harder could it be to follow every rule in the Bible? Much, much harder, he soon discovered, as he found himself growing his beard, struggling not to curse and asking strangers for permission to stone them for adultery. Jacobs spent the year carrying around a stapled list of the more than 700 rules and prohibitions identified in the Good Book, and also consulted with religious leaders and spent time with the Amish, Hassidic Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses.
Hit here for the rest of the story. Thanks to Kevin Bussey for the find!
