[fast5] Ramadan

Fast-5 is similar to the practice of Ramadan, a month of fasting for Muslims.
For a whole month, they don't eat, drink or smoke from dawn to sunset. After sunset they feast and party. Children, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone who is sick is excused from fasting.

When I first learned about it, I thought it was horribly unhealthy. Now I have much more respect for it.

One thing I still don't understand about Ramadan is that they don't drink water during the day. That would worry me. But millions have been practicing it for centuries.
