It does not say if anyone stayed to listen. Does not say if anyone was there to listen in the 1st place.

He obviously likes the sound of his own voice.

Unsuprisingly he smashed another record at the same time ... The Worlds Most Boring Man.

139 hours on scientific computations? I practically started snoring before I finished writing that.

If I was his student, i would be thinking "bonus-nap time".

That equates to over 5 days of solid talking, did he not eat or sleep?

I would have liked to be there for the last few hours or so, bet it would be like the ramblings of a madman!

But the really question is....did anyone learn anything? apart from the obvious.....bring sleeping bags to lectures about scientific computations.

Someone should have told that ******* to shut the **** up!!!!

"I hope everyone has been taking notes, there's going to be a test on this tomorrow."

Did he have breaks or did he wear adult diapers?? Jeez.

I was up for 3-day's straight one time, no drugs, just did it to see if I could. Got seriously "loopy"

But 5.8 day's?

METH kills.

Considering the research indicates that when we are largely passive, as in a lecture format, we have a limited capacity to maintain attention. This would be about 10 to 12 minutes without a change-up of activity to allow for recovery. There are better ways to get tenure and foster sound learning.

I think he would be a potential candidate to prove boredom can indeed kill.

Why?

[pallidin]

Why?

Good question. Sometimes there is no "Why", rather, "What the Hell did I just do"

[Odd Requiem]

Just the thought has sent my a.d.d. into overdrive.

Wow, that's longer than most German operas!
