Good job, Joachim

The following is from an article on cnn.com concerning a man breaking the world record for watching tv the longest in a single sitting.

Joachim, who lives in Toronto but hails from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.


Do you hear that? That's right, it's impoverished children around the world praising Joachim for his sacrifice. In one united voice, they seem to cry out, "Your works shall not be forgotten, Joachim! We will tell our children's children of the man who suffered through 70 hours of According to Jim that we might feel peace and contentment."
