World records

    Was just reading this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Galpin about Alastair Galpin. He is a world record chaser and tbh in the list of some of the records he has broken some of them sound quite easy to beat. Take "the fastest time to butter ten slices of bread" 52.42 seconds, I think i could do better than that i could probably butter ten slices of bread in about 20 seconds maybe i'm wrong.

    Also "the most high fives in one minute" 76, Get 90 people in a line and i reckon you would fly through them. There's a few others there that are admittedly completely ridiculous and pointless but seemingly easy to beat.

    So do you reckon you could break any world records or do you hold any?

    INB4 "most faps in an hour" etc..

    Most faps in an......Damn!

    A few friends of mine are Naked Rollercoaster World Record holders. It was too easy. Basically a crappy rollercoaster in Southend can hold 40 people in one train which is a lot. So they got 40 people to get naked and go on it.

    Won't be easy to beat though as no other roller coaster can hold more than 40 in one train.

    But as for the stupid, butter 10 slices of bread, records. I've no time for them. Utterly pointless if you ask me.

    this seems to be a load of bollix.

    Most candles in the mouth, most baseballs in hand while facing down, most high 5s in a min... come on, they are not records, that's just some idiot thinking up silly ways of getting his name in a book.

    They should list the amount of people who've attempted/held the record so most of these stupid ones have 1 attempted 1 successful.

    I'm gonna look into the butter one, I'd consider myself a bit of a butter connoisseur

    A few friends and I tried doing this challenge at uni:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltine_cracker_challenge

    It sounds so simple but it really isn't.

    The challenge is to eat 6 crackers in a minute without drinking anything. It's the chewing that gets you.

    What about a proper record, like running 4 laps of a track in under 3 minutes 43 seconds? Or throwing a spear over 98 metres?

    On your marks, get set, go.

    Spear throwing was banned and replaced with the Javelin.

    The Javelin is a spear. But my point echoes a previous point that these are stupid, makey uppey records.
