I never could kill the little guy. I let him run for over a month without
food. I would even try to wear him out by sending him everything  BUT food:
records, books, dog food (nope he wouldnt eat it). The only thing that 
happened is that he turned green and wouldnt get out of bed no matter what
junk I sent him. But he was telepathic... I eventually sent him food, and
somehow he knew it was food, because he got out of bed and went down to
get it.
