South Korean opposition lawmakers have set what appears to be a new world record for a combined filibuster after speaking for 192 hours.
Nearly nine days of non-stop speeches included rambling monologues and long chunks of George Orwell's novel 1984.
Some of the MPs wore trainers to help them stay on their feet for hours.
They wanted to block an anti-terror bill they said put personal freedoms at risk, but failed. The bill was passed hours after the filibuster ended.
A Canadian party had set the previous world record for combined filibustering, notching up 57 hours in 2011.

My ex was Korean, long-winded indeed! 
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
