Never at a loss for words

HARARE: A Zimbabwean man talked his way into what could be a new Guinness world record. Jonah Mungoshi, a 35-year-old father of three and bank executive, beat a 26-hour record set by South African John Trevor Walker on his way to a personal goal of 36 hours of almost non-stop talk which ended on Sunday. "I'm extremely excited but extremely sleepy as well,'' a visibly-exhausted Mungoshi told presspersons. A ssessors will submit reports on the validity of Mungoshi's performance before his name can be formally entered into the next issue of the Guinness Book of World Records in 2004.
