    That's exactly what all of those movies/shows do. It's actually pretty funny to watch somebody "hack" a computer or even better, a *finger quotes* "mainframe" by randomly slapping keys.

    @OMG! Conies!: We have a call of Shenanigans! While we decide the call, please keep in mind that all the computers in "The Office" are live, and people surf the web a lot. In fact, Ed Helms comments and reads many bluegrass websites while filming.

    The longest I've ever sat through watching the set was when I decided to sit through all 9+ hours of the LOTR trilogy. 72 hours? Fuuuuuuuuuck no.

    Under the surface, isn't this just "who can stay awake the longest"?


    Try staying awake for 72 hours WORKING at your JOB, trying meet your latest milestone.


    Anyone can relax and watch television.


    What a pussy.

    @crapcakes: The trick is to find a client to bill your commenting to. Also, my record for continuous work (or reasonable facsimile thereof) was 20 hours, set last year, on a document review gig in lovely downtown Newark.


    I then slept for about 5 hours in the nearby Robert Treat Hotel and came back for another 15 hour shift. Staying awake to set a record is one thing; staying awake to get a $2,000 bonus on top of $65/hr is another.

    What are the rules for this? Can he go to the bathroom or eat? If so, does he have one of those goofy monitor-in-glasses things plugged into an iPod or something? Or is just on the can the whole time? Or did he just soil himself?

    I wonder if one can be conditioned to sorely miss a TV character if you watch him or her straight for an extended period of time, as if it were a real person.

    It would be 72 hours of 24, if commercials were included, were they? B/c if so, I give him tons more credit for sitting through the commercials.

    "...the manufacturer says that each of the marks in their watch corresponds to the actual position of the Sun in the sky."


    True if the Earth decides to no longer tilt and you reside on the equator. Both options are just silly.
