Want to Break a World Record?

We talked about this during the Almanac yesterday, Wednesday was Guinness World Records 70th birthday. The FIRST one was published August 27th, 1955. And Guinness celebrated, by sharing a list of 70 records no one’s attempted yet. So if you’ve ever wanted to break a world record, see if any of these potential world records make it into YOUR “Wheel House” . . .

  1. Most high fives in 30 seconds
  2. Fastest time to make a burrito
  3. Longest marathon playing air guitar
  4. Fastest 10-meter sprint while holding a balloon between your knees
  5. Fastest time to make a pasta necklace.  (Maybe only kids can apply for that one?)
  6. Most cans crushed with your foot in one minute
  7. Most whoopee cushions sat on in one minute by a team of two
