 Ananova: 
World's longest lecture

An African lecturer has delivered the world's longest lecture after talking non-stop for more than three days.

But Errol Muzawazi, 20, from Zimbabwe, was talking to himself for the majority of it after his audience fell asleep.

He talked for 88 hours and four seconds as he lectured on democracy at Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland.

Muzawazi was allowed to stop briefly only once every eight hours to go to the toilet, eat a sandwich or take a quick nap.

Experts from the Guinness Book of Records monitored the event and are assessing whether it meets their standards for a new world record.

However, Muzawazi, who teaches political science, is already in the book as he held the old record of 62 hours and 30 minutes.
