Kh8 looks to be the way ahead for him.

Wow, that's a tough one
Deep analysis suggests 1.Kh8 and praying for 1...Qg6.
I ran it through Rybka and it suggests going to get something to eat...
Kh8. A stalemate is the only positive outcome for your opponent. It's either draw or lose. Its nice of you to do this!!
I never give advice on ongoing games. But in this case, white should be very careful about playing 1.Kh8. This risks running into nasty pre-prepared conditional move sequences such as
1.Kh8 Kc6 2.Kh7 Kb5 3.Kh8 Kxa5 4.Kh7 Kxb6 5.Kh8 a5 6.Kh7 a4 7.Kh8 a3 8.Kh7 a2 9.Kh8 a1=R 10.Kh7 Rb1 11.Kh8 Rc1 12.Kh7 Rd1 13.Kh8 Re1 14.Kh7 Rf1 15.Kh8 Rg1 16.Kh7 and I think this position favours black 
Id try to get those pawns promoted. two Queens are better than one Queen !

1.Kh8 Ke7
2.Kh7 Kf7
3.Kh8 Qg7# or Qg8#
There is no way for white to win even if Whites pawns is going the other way (to the bottom of the board)
If only we had more time to think. Perhaps he should use some vacation days to give us a chance to really study the position.

I agree. With correct play, White cannot win this.
g5 is a trap door
Kxg5 and hope the program doesn't realize this is illegal
Kxd7. It seems like everybody but me always misses these types of mate-in-one tactics.
Ask for advice when there's still some play left seems to be the friendly thing here. Whose leg are you pulling at anyways?

Most people seem to have understood the spirit this was posted in but I'll explain for you.
My opponenent has (obviously) been lost for some time now but doesn't seem to want to resign. It's over now, but you can see the game here:

Since move 50 I had set conditionals but he would wait a day in between each move. I was amused at his optimism and posted the position above, tongue in cheek.
Hey guys, I know we don't generally comment on a live position, but my opponent is in an interesting spot and is really mulling over his choices. In the interests of putting a good game ahead of winning, I'm generously requesting suggestions for his next move to help him out. Here's the position:
