Toddler 's achievement honored

JAKARTA (JP): How does a lunar eclipse occur? Who invented the Molotov cocktail? Missiles? How did Princess Diana die? Name some of the current prominent presidents and heads of state in the world. What is the name of the United States' most sophisticated jet fighter?

Three-year-old Agi Patrio Soegiantoro from Semarang knows the answers to those and more than 400 other questions that would bewilder many adults.

Last Tuesday, Agi's name was entered into the Indonesian Museum of Record, following a test conducted in front of many people, Antara reported Saturday.

Ocke Rubino and Paulus Pangka, who are museum officials, said the eldest son of Machrup Elrick deserved to be included in the museum's book which has recorded 291 achievements across Indonesia.

The officials agreed that Agi might be able to compete not only here but also in the international arena.

Agi received a certificate from the museum last week testifying to his inclusion in the Indonesian Museum of Record. (swe)
