The worlds longest lecture

"Mangalore University Applied Botany Professor Annaiah Ramesh is all set to enter the Guinness Book of World Records as he successfully completed a marathon lecture, running to 96 hours and 40 minutes, here on Sunday."

The Lecture was on the "Molecular Logic of Life," I wonder how interesting it was. I wonder if anyone actually attended? I can't imagine anything interesting enough to listen to for that long. Actually... I think I may require my students to attend my world record attempt at the worlds longest AND most boring lecture. Any suggestions on topics?

How about "The effect of boredom on neuronal apoptosis." The students could become your research subjects.
