Well, he did it. Dr. Curiel broke the guinness world record for longest distance travelled while bouncing a basketball in 24 hours. So here's one little thing I didn't know, apparently he didn't have to pee in his pants if he had to use the bathroom but instead would stop, the official folks would mark the spot, he'd go pee, then come back to the spot, pick up the ball then start running again...of course this all cuts into the 24 time period but it's better than messing yourself in cold weather. And if he accidentally lost control of the ball, he had to stop and the ball would be brought back to him and he could start running again...and no, the miles don't reset instead. That makes the record maybe less impressive but more attainable without gettin nasty from pee and poop all over you in a public place. The record will appear in the 2005 version since the 2004 version was already printed...as books tend to be published that way. I tried finding it on the website but it hasn't been officially accepted though the guinness folks were there apparently. He broke a bunch of records in the process of running the 108 miles so he kicks ass in more ways than one. It seems his son was reading the guinness book of records and this is the one he told his dad (dr curiel) that he could easily beat and so it was done and beaten. Well, test on friday gotta study.
