Guinness World Records Book 2009 The 54th edition of the Guinness World Records book has been released. In the 2009 version we can find a few interesting world records such as: The World’s Oldest Bridesmaid (105 years old) The Most Expensive Ice-cream Sundae (£12,000) The World’s Longest Dog, with a nose to tail length of 2m 32cm (7.61 feet) Oldest living person (114 years and 115 days - Edna Parker, US) Largest underwater press conference (61 journalists) Most rotations hanging from a power drill (141) Worlds fastest talker (655 words per minute) Fastest suitcase escape (7.04 seconds) Oldest DNA (800,000 years) Many of the records in the book were set on last year’s Guinness World Records Day (November 9) when 200,000 people around the world joined in to make or break records as part of the international event.
If my math hasnt failed me isnt that 10 words a second? Whats the use of that skill if people cant hear 10 words a second.
They must have been talking to a machine. Machines can hear 10 words a second I bet... Machines will one day rule the world.
should be better called fastest speaker... nobody can understand, let alone talking.. Wanna hear though True!! Wow! where, WHY and for WHOM?
Largest underwater press conference (61 journalists) Wish I could have attended it....i love water and underwater activities have always been my favorite.
i always feel uncomfortable with the fact that you can always make something so specific that the record will undoubtedly be yours so then it becomes subjective to decide which things are interesting enough to appear on the book
Strangest Diet Michel Lotito (aka Monsieur Mangetout) from Grenoble, France, has been eating metal and glass since 1959. Gastroenterologists have described his ability to consume 900 g (2 lb) of metal per day as "unique". Mangetout - Michel's nickname - literally translates as "eats everything". Michel says bananas and hard-boiled eggs make him sick. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records/amazing_feats/unusual_skills/strangest_diet.aspx Most Cockroaches Eaten Ken Edwards of Glossop, Derbyshire, England ate 36 cockroaches in one minute on the set of The Big Breakfast, London, England on March 5, 2001. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records/amazing_feats/unusual_skills/most_cockroaches_eaten.aspx Now THAT'S a record I wanna break!!!!!
