Well, the maximum performance was achieved by one Enkidu [cf. epic of Gilgamesh] about 5000 yeras ago - seven days and seven nights, 168 hours without so much as a bathroom break. It was accomplished in pre-viagran era, and the record still stands.

Maybe they are mistaking an erection for rigor mortise.

It is a Black Widow spider they are talking about.
