My Guinness World Records now online


Looks like Guinness World Records has added a more comprehensive list of their catalogue to the website, and even included photos of the record-holders.

Here's my 10K joggling record. And here's the marathon.

At the recent Guinness World Records Day, there were a number of interesting events. I'm pretty sure I could break the new mark for "longest time to juggle three objects underwater" (1 minute, 20 seconds), but I'd have trouble with most of the others, including "most serpilleres by an individual" in 30 seconds (34) and "most stairs climbed in one minute while balancing a person on the head" (the entire staircase of the Sacre-Coeur in Paris). Joggling is a little odd, but hey, at least I don't spend my spare time walking up staircases with a woman balanced on my head.

Joggling in Ford Flex ad



My mother-in-law was perusing the latest copy of Chatelaine magazine and came across an ad for the Ford Flex that listed "15 things to do together before your kids leave home." No. 2 the list? "Take up joggling (jog and juggle at the same time). Post a video online." Also notable was No. 8: "Break a world record. Invent your own entry!"
