CharlieG, did you say you used to work with Buck Wolf? This is one of his, pointed at from his weird news stories of 2001. A lot of those I've already highlighted here, but somehow this one was missed. Even though the story is old, the sentiment will never die: Indian woman Mata Amritanandamayi was on a US hugging tour. She would hug people for 18 hours a day. People would wait in line for quite a while for their one-minute long hug. It's estimated that she's delivered 20 million hugs. Now that's some good work.
