Movie-Viewing World Record

Friday 20 June 2008 @ 12:35 am

People have crazy ideas to make records!!

You might have heard of records of movie making, movie in theater, or movie sales but movie-viewing record is something new to me.

A German lady continuously watched movies for 117 hours 4 minutes for a record. But this guy from India, Ashish Sharma, watched various movies for 120 hours to make a new record.

Sharma started the marathon movie-watching on June 11 and finished 48 movies in almost five days.

Sharma is known in Mathura, India, as memory master. He is planning a book on improving one’s memory for the youth. (source)




Monkey god chairs a technology and managemnt school

Tuesday 10 June 2008 @ 5:31 pm

Do you do business in the name of god? I used to hear a businessperson considers clients as a God. But this school is teaching something else to its students!

A god that too a monkey god is named a chairman in a ‘Techonology and Management’ school in India.

Hanuman, the popular god known for his strength and valor, has been named official chairman of the recently opened Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management in northern India, a school official said Saturday.

The position comes with an incense-filled office, a desk and a laptop computer. Four chairs will be placed facing the empty seat reserved for the chairman and all visitors must enter the office barefoot, said Vivek Kangdi, the school’s vice chairman. (yahoo)

The god run school, Sardar Bhagat Singh College, is located in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, awards bachelor’s degrees in engineering and management.

I don’t know how technology, engineering, and management go together with mythology. I hope the school knows it better in its one year of existence.




143-page love letter — to an imaginary lover

Friday 6 June 2008 @ 6:57 pm

A bachelor, Harish Kondakkuli (30), of South India has written a 143-page long love letter. The problem is he is not in love so he had to write it to an imaginary lover to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

The letter, in Kannada (local language), begins with ‘Preethiya Abhisarika’ (Dear Abhisarika) and ends with ‘Mathe ninna nireeksheyalli kanasu marida huduga’ (Awaiting you…).

Harish, an employee of BSNL, claims he penned his ‘masterpiece’ in leisure to popularize letter writing. He started writing on Valentine’s Day this year and stopped on May 25.

“I used to write one or two pages daily after 7 pm. I am used to writing as I had written stories when I was in college and later wrote to several newspapers and magazines,’’ said Harish.

Since the common code word of lovers is 143 (I Love You), this love letter contains 143 pages, its length is 143 feet (papers are in 12X10 size). The total lines are 4,136 and total words 33,100.

Whether he enters Guinness or not, this eligible bachelor is hoping this love letter will find him a bride.

Jailed for Staring

Friday 18 April 2008 @ 5:40 pm

Staring too intensely at a woman, his mother’s age, sitting in front of him on a train was enough to take the man to the court and sentenced for 10 days.

It was told that they met on a commuter train going from Lecco, a town in northern Italy, to Milan in 2005. A judge sentenced the man in his 30s to 10 days in prison and a 40 euro ($63) fine after the 55-year old woman filed a complaint for sexual harassment. (Reuters)

And now the company has decided to put the joke into production following what it calls “overwhelming positive response and hundreds of e-mails screaming to ‘make the damn shirt already’”.

It says it will be looking to unleash the product on the world “asap” but warns that its “army of robotic factory monkeys are a bit slow, and it might take them some time to make the real version of this nifty product”.

ThinkGeek also admits that the “final version might deviate slightly in appearance, features or price” from the April Fool product but urges interested buyers to get in touch. (metro)
