Man Speaks Nonstop For 124 Hours To Set Speech Record

A 62-year-old Frenchman, Lluis Colet, broke the world record for the longest speech after talking nonstop for 124 hours about Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Catalan culture and other topics. The previous record was held by an Indian man who delivered a 120-hour speech. Three notaries were on hand to recognize the feat, which allows Colet to enter it in the Guinness Book of Records. I'm not sure which is the more impressive feat: Mr. Colet talking for five straight days, or three people listening to him that long.
