Better yet, let me cite it for your stupid ass..
Under section 6.2.4
"An object whose identifier is declared with external or internal linkate, or with the storage-class specififer static has static storage duration. Its lifetime is the entire exeuction of the program and its stored value is initialized only once, prior to the program startup."
In other words, 'static storage duration' is a result of using the 'static' keyword you fucking idiot.
