    Mata Amritanandamaiy - The hugging saint.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mata_Amritanandamayi
    Worldwide, Mata Amritanandamayi is said to have hugged at least 30 million people in the past 30 years

    No tangible benefits apart from a warm fuzzy feeling?

    To everyone not saying Isaac Newton, you're all wrong!

    The man wrote the book on Maths, and pretty much invented calculus, he 'discovered' gravity and came up with the 3 laws of motion which are still largely valid today.

    Science as we know it we owe to him.
