Sri Lankan watches TV 72 hours to set world record

STOCKHOLM – Suresh Joachim has broken his own Guinness world record for nonstop broadcast-television watching, clocking 72 hours in the Swedish capital.

"I feel fine, I drank between 25 and 30 cups of coffee," Joachim said Sunday.

His previous record was 69 hours, 48 minutes, set in 2005.

Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who lives in Toronto, watched three seasons of the drama series "24" featuring Kiefer Sutherland, said Swedish TV4 spokeswoman Janina Witkowski.

Aren't there World of Warcraft people that can play for a week or more straight?

The record for watching Fran Drescher and "The Nanny" nonstop is a nearly unbeatable 7 minutes. The person died afterward.

If it was the Grammy's I would have to pull a Seinfeld. "I'm out"

I could have easily broken this during the height of my Frasier-watching obsession.

Just give me a marathon of Lord of the Rings, the Rocky movies (I prefer the first and the fourth), all three Back to the Futures (although the third wasn't that great), and all the seasons of Dexter, and I will shatter this record!

So, if you feel like it's worth it to gain a certificate by incurring self-waste all over yourself, please don't come back here bragging about it..

**** that. I'd piss in a bucket for 3 days if I had to. Take a shit in there too. Good ole' chamber pot!

That's true. I'd have to start with Lord of the Rings. Either that or a marathon of the Office.
