The World Record for Motionlessness

The Rules

(If you want to break a record that is published in a record book or governed by an international authorithy, there may be other or additional rules. See here for more information.) The record is for continuously standing motionless. You must stand: sitting is not allowed. No facial movements are allowed other then the involuntary blinking of the eye. Deep breathing is permitted provided it does not involve observable movement notably greater than that in normal breathing. No rest breaks are allowed at any point during the event. The venue for such an event should be such that the general public can view.
