talking..and talking...and talking

"Frenchman speaks nonstop for 124 hours to set speech record." What in the world? This headline caught my attention and I proceeded to read how this Frenchman spoke for five straight days and four nights without stopping. I suppose I could understand this coming from a woman since we are more prone to ramble, but a man? Did he stop for a drink of water? Apparently he didn't take a bathroom break? If I was to choose a record to break, I would have to say the last thing on my list would be talking for 124 hours straight. Maybe because I value my sleep far more than I aspire to be in the Guinness Book of Records. Gee whiz, I can't even begin to think of what in the world I would even say for five days. And the poor people who had to listen to him for that long. They didn't get sleep either. And how did it end? Did he just say, okay I've run out of things to say? Hm. I'm very curious about that one.
