An update to my previous message claiming Maureen Weston is the
record-holder at 19 days.

The Neuroscience for Kids website at
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tt.html

cites the Maureen Weston claim (given as 18 days) but cites a
later claim in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records for Robert
McDonald, who went for 453 hours, 40 minutes (= 18.9 days), also
in a rocking chair.
