A city magistrate has ruled that Oslo's so-called "cave man," who once lived in a pile of garbage near the city's university campus, must agree to wash himself since he's now living in a publicly funded nursing home.
He objects, and vows to take his case to Norway's supreme court.
The "cave man's" case has been brewing in the courts for months, and was sent back to the magistrate's level because of some judicial errors.
He's still insisting that he can't be forced to wash, and will only do so if he so chooses.
