Who wants to break stuff!?

Today, Nov. 8, 2007, is Guinness World Records Day.

This year, you can receive GWR goodies, be featured on the website and of course, be included in the book next year if your record is kick-ass enough. All you need to do is go to their website and register to break a world record.
I'm sure if you're creative enough, you can come up with something so ridiculous no one has ever even thought to attempt it, like most rattlesnakes sat in a tub with (Jackie Bibby and Rosie Reynolds-McCasland, each with 75 Western Diamondback rattlesnakes), or most books typed backward (Michele Santelia of Campobasso, Italy, typed backwards 58 books (3,204,764 words) in their original languages including The Odyssey, Macbeth, The Vulgate Bible and the Guinness World Records Book 2002).

As you can probably imagine, this site is a lot of fun to play around on.

Also, a Virginia man is being honored today as the tallest man in the U.S.A. at 7-foot-8, two inches taller than Yao Ming, but not tall enough to beat the 8-foot-5.5 man in the Ukraine.
