Man Celebrates Longest Birthday Ever by Traveling across International Date Line - Neatorama

(Image: Guinness World Records)

Sven Hagemeier’s birthday lasted 46 hours, setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest birthday ever. He accomplished this feat by flying from New Zealand, then to Australia, and then to Hawaii, crossing over multiple time zones (6, by my count) and the International Date Line the process. Rachel Swatman writes for Guinness World Records:

Sven's elongated birthday celebrations beat the previous record set by Nargis Bhimji of Karachi, celebrated her birthday for 35 hours 25min by crossing time zones after flying from Karachi to Singapore and then to San Francisco back in June 1998. […]
The birthday-boy spent the majority of two days in an aeroplane enjoying plane food, working out how to stay comfortable on long-haul flights, and communicating using hand-gestures.

I once experienced a 36-hour day. The entire span was spent traveling, so it was not a pleasurable experience.

That's a pretty inspiring collection! I just finished a case mod which was inspired by simple practicality, but I think it looks cool nevertheless. I detailed it on my VOXIGO blog.

You should add my PC mod up there, the Sega EXODUS. Core 2 E8500, with an nvidia 9800 GT, 4gb DDR2 ram, and some wicked mod parts, all built into a Sega Genesis+CD Zotac featured it in their 2nd blog posting. Also a video on youtube.
