If you think your over zealous neighbor decorated their house with one too many Christmas lights, that ain’t nothing as compared to the Australian man who just entered the Guinness Book of World Records for his light display. David Richards strung 1,194,380 lights to make kids and kids at heart feel very happy this holiday season. The Australian father did this magnificent display to raise money for the charity SIDS and Kids ACT that helped him through a tough time back in 2002.
The good news for his neighbors is that he didn’t decorate his house (as in years past), but a mall. Back when he did his home he only used half as many lights. I think what he did is so much more spectacular with twice as many LEDs. Don’t you wish your mall would hire him to make it just as beautiful?
Colin Jones is in the Guinness Book of World Record for wearing the Most Neckties at Once. So how many was he wearing when he took the title on September 26th? He has 260 of them wrapped around his neck and his students were the ones who put them on him. The teacher has accumulated a lot of ties in his 30 year tenure and his students thought that he had enough to earn him a World Record. Well, his students are really smart because turns out he does.
So if you are wondering what to get him for Christmas? I think a tie clip would be nice, but a necktie would be nicer. This way he can he beat his own record if need be!
Han Yue entered the Guinness Book of World Records yesterday for the tightest parallel parking record with a car. On Friday, the Chinese Wheelman was able to park his Mini 3 Door Hatch 8 cm (3.15″) from the cars he parked between.
While watching him spin his way into that space was really cool, I would be more impressed to see him do that in Manhattan. Anyone who has parallel parked there knows you can squeeze your even closer to the other cars than 3.15″.
And I would be even more impressed if the person who got the title was a woman. Women, we need to show up these men and prove to them we can be more than YouTube jokes when we try to park. Ladies, who is with me?
Today in London, the Guinness Book of World Records‘ Tallest Living Man, Sultan Kösen who is 8’3″, met the man who is in that same book as the Shortest Living Man, Chandra Bahadur Dangi who’s 21.5″; and their meeting is of epic proportions. To see their height difference like that is quite incredible and fascinating. Doesn’t it just put a smile on your face?

Paul Hunn is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the Loudest Burp and today he demonstrated it in their offices during their anniversary party. Something, I am so sure, The Burper King’s mum is so proud of her son’s accomplishment.
Part of me wants to warn you to turn the speakers down before you hear his record breaking 109.9DB belch; but then the other part of me is like turn the volume all the way up so you can hear it in all of his glory. It truly is glorious.
Personally, I still think that Revenge of the Nerds’ Booger’s (Curtis Armstrong) burp was so much more impressive, but Hunn’s still blew me away. I am sure, if I was standing near him as he did it, the force of his burp would’ve literally blown me away.
BTW I wonder if he was drinking Guinness at Guinness to create that marvelous sound?
