Real or Fake: World Records Made in Mexico This Year
Last month, thousands of Mexicans, including impersonator "Hector Jackson," performed Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance with hopes of breaking the world record. While the success of the wannabe zombies is still under review by the Guinness Book of World Records, Mexico has already officially captured many records this year. The New York Times dedicated some reporting resources this week to the topic.
Worst Attempt at a World Record Ever
Look, Mr. Coconut-Smashing Guy. No one said you had to be good at smashing coconuts. But if you're gonna put yourself out there, attempt to smash a conga line of coconuts, have people film you, and end up smashing not more than a few not a single one.
My Bubble Gum Brings All the Boys to the Yard...
Ladies and gents, I give you the bubble gum blowing pro. She blows the biggest bubbles around, and then blows bubbles inside those bubbles — madness much? But seriously, the woman chews on a big ol' wad of Bubbleyum, blows a 50-some-odd-centimeter bubble, and can't crack a smile?
It's a Dude in a Box!
This is one hellavuh halftime show! Meet Daniel Browning Smith. Unsurprisingly, the Guinness Book of Useless Records has named him the World's Most Flexible Man.
Another Guinness Challenge: Underpants Jumping
The folks over at Guinness World Records have set out to name the world's fastest underpants jumper. The person who can hop in and out of a pair of underpants the fastest, without resorting to one leg at a time, gets the record. It's kind of a big deal.
Another Guinness Record Breaker
Again and again, I'm surprised by the sort of "skill" recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Here we have a man that can speed clap. Yup, that's his talent and he's darn proud of it.
Announcing a New World Record!
Here we go again with another useless world record. Alistair Galpin holds the title for having the most snails, eight to be exact, creepy crawl across his face for one minute. How can this ambitious manifestation of dumbass merit any sort of applause or credit?
A Dumb Question Is Asked and Answered
The Japanese got to wondering whether the world's fastest speed walker would speed walk away from a life-threatening situation, or resort to running. So they set him up to get chased down by a gang of sword-carrying ninjas. I don't know what's dumber: the question they're seeking to answer, or the premise that a bunch of ninjas would rush a racetrack in broad daylight.
Cute Alert: Boo Boo, The World's Smallest Dog
One-year-old Boo Boo the Chihuahua is Guinness Book of World Records' smallest living dog (in height). According to her owner in Raceland, KY, Boo Boo was fed with an eye dropper every two hours when she was a newborn one ounce pup. That's right—one ounce.
Guinness World Records: So Unnecessary
So I guess I was only half joking when I mentioned that the Guinness World Records folks are running out of ideas. Take the following, for example. The commentator is making such a fuss (and the 20-person crowd is going wild?) about this dude trying to break the world record for...banana splitting?
