An Indian man has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for finishing one of the longest marathons in the world -- and he didn't have to run even one step.
Arvind Mishra gave a lecture on Scientific Computations from March 1 to March 7 -- speaking for 139 hours, 42 minutes and 56 seconds. On April 3, the people at Guinness confirmed that Mishra was the new record-holder for delivering the world's longest academic lecture.
Mishra is an assistant professor at Graphic Era University.
"There's a lot I love about being a teacher," Mishra said. "Teaching is one of the rarest professions that keep your brain young, allowing you to continue your own journey as a student and a lifelong learner. The one who does the teaching is the one who's doing the learning."
Now, thanks to more than 135 hours of teaching, Mishra will have his name permanently etched in the record books.
