Sri Lankan sets world record viewing TV for 72 hrs

London, Feb 9: Suresh Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who lives in Toronto, has smashed his own Guinness world record for non-stop broadcast-television watching, clocking 72 hours in the Swedish capital.

"I feel fine, I drank between 25 and 30 cups of coffee," the Telegraph quoted Joachim, as saying.

Joachim set the previous world record of 69 hours and 48 minutes in 2005 but has now exceeded that with 72 hours in front of a box.

According to Swedish TV4 spokeswoman Janina Witkowski, Joachim watched three series of Kiefer Sutherland's '24'.
