NO-Dose, guarana and a lot of heart.
A group of German street
performers have taken out the
title for the world’s longest
busking session, after performing
for 24 hours straight.
To take the crown the three
musicians were only allowed a
five minute break every hour, no
more than 30 seconds break
between songs, and pieces could
only be played once every four
hours.
The world record attempt was
performed in front of an ever
changing crowd at the Popkomm
Music Industry Trade Fair in the
German capital of Berlin.
“I am totally exhausted but
completely happy that this unique
concert was a success,” said
Samuel Harfst, one of the
performers, following the
completion of the 24-hour marathon.
A WEIGHTY problem for a primate.
An orangutan, Oshine, living at Monkey World in Dorset in the UKI has been put on a strict diet after having arrived tipping the scales at a massive 100kgs. The healthy weight range for a typical orangutan is between 31 and 76 kilos. Orshine arrived at Monkey World recently after having been donated by her previous South African owner who raised her (and fed her a lot) for the past thirteen years. Eventually it was decided that it was in Orshine’s best interests to be looked after by a team of experts, so now on a strict diet of vegetables and fruits, and despite her age, Orshine has been placed in a orangutan crèche where she will learn to socialise with others of her kind. It is hoped that following her weight loss (which will take a few months) Orshine will enter the park’s breeding program.
