Guinness-Record Movie Marathon Starts Now, Ends When Everyone's Asleep
New York's Time Square saw the start of a cinematic World Record attempt today, as 6 people attempt to break the world record of continuous movie watching, which currently stands at 120 hours 23 minutes. The attempted record breakers are allowed to eat, drink and stretch as long as they don't take their eyes off the screen, and there're a 10-min toilet-breaks between features, which doesn't sound so bad really, until you realise that it means staying awake and alert, staring at a screen for nearly a week.
Hmm, I wonder what they're gonna be showing. I know some films will pretty much put me to sleep without me even starting off tired.. New York's Time Square saw the start of a cinematic World Record attempt today, as 6 people attempt to break the world record of ... more -
World's oldest man celebrates 113th birthday
The world's oldest man celebrated his 113th birthday on Thursday. Tomoji Tanabe told reporters at his home in southern Japan about his joyful life and healthy appetite.
"I'm happy," said Tanabe as the local mayor presented him with flowers and a giant tea cup glazed with his name and date of birth. "I'm well. I eat a lot," he added.
Tanabe, recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest living male last year, eats mostly vegetables and believes the key to longevity is not drinking alcohol. The former civil servant lives with his son, drinks milk every day and has no major illnesses, although he now writes in his diary only once or twice a month. He used to write on a daily basis.
"His favourite food is fried shrimp, but we've heard that he's cut back on oily food," said an official at his hometown of Miyakonojo, about 900 km (560 miles) southwest of Tokyo. "He's said he wants to live for another 10 years, that he doesn't want to die."
The Japanese are among the world's longest-lived people, with the number of those aged 100 or older at a record 36,276, a government report last week showed. Japanese women have topped the world's longevity ranks for 23 years, while men rank third after Iceland and Hong Kong The world's oldest man celebrated his 113th birthday on Thursday.

World's Oldest Man Dies at 138 in India
Habib Miyan played the clarinet in a maharajah's orchestra before retiring 70 years ago.
However, there is much dispute over his actual age. Although he said he was 138 years old, his pension book showed him to be a mere stripling at 129 - and the Guinness Book of Records has been unable to verify his age at all.
Miyan, who lived in Jaipur in western India, had no birth certificate but has collected a state pension for decades. He once worked in the court of the king of Jaipur - Raja Man Singh, where he played in the wind section of the orchestra.
