• Guinness World Records Day 200

  • From: GWR_Vids
  • Description:

    The success of the 5th annual Guinness World Records Day – celebrated this November 12 – has proved once again that the public has an insatiable appetite for witnessing or participating in world record events. An estimated 250,000 people took part in this year’s events, helping to raise thousands of dollars for various charities and drawing attention to the fun and excitement that can be had when trying to get your name in the world’s best-selling copyright book.

     

    Kicking off events outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia were a group of skimpily clad exhibitionists striving to break the record for the largest swimwear parade; sadly, only 235 people turned up – not enough to qualify for the record – demonstrating that not every attempts leads to a Guinness World Record!

     

    After the disappointing start, things quickly started looking up. Multiple record holder Alistair Galpin of New Zealand bagged himself not one but three records – for Champagne-cork spitting, coin blowing, and Malteser (malt ball) spitting. In China, Tao Yongming set a new Guinness World Record for fastest ascent of a sand dune on a motorcycle, while in Egypt, Heshim Nessim also set a new standard for the fastest vehicle crossing of the Egyptian desert.

     

    Soon, half of the planet was indulging in record breaking. In Turkey, the concrete was flying as strongman Ali Bahecepete hacked away                                                                      at the most concrete blocks broken in 30 seconds and in 1 minute, and in Albania, artist Saimir Strati turned art on its head and crafted the largest mosaic made out of paint brushes. In the Middle East, Lebanese model-maker Toufic Daher erected the tallest matchstick model (of the Eiffel Tower) and fellow countryman Nabil Karam did an official count of his largest collection of model cars (22,222!).

     

    As Europeans woke up to the morning news, they began to hear stories of the most translated comic book, The Adventures of Asterix by Goscinny and Uderzo, the latter of whom was on hand to accept his Guinness World Records certificate. The most nationalities in a sauna (Finland) followed, along with the fastest human wheelbarrow (also Finland), the fastest time to eat a bowl of pasta (Italy), the fastest time to eat and peel three lemons (Denmark), and the largest gingerbread man (Norway) – presented to the IKEA Furuset in Oslo by Sultan Kosen, the world’s tallest man!

     

    The Germans put on a particularly good show, tackling at least seven Guinness World Records, from the farthest distance reached on a water slide to the most dominoes stacked on a single piece. But beating the Germans in the numbers game was the UK, with eight attempts including most couples hugging in a minute, longest conga on ice and fastest time to inflate and burst a hot-water bottle. The highlight in the UK was Manjit Singh – the “Iron Man of Leicester” – establishing a record for the  farthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with the hair.

     

    By now, the United States was awake and raring to get their fair share of record breaking action. First off the blocks was the largest cup of hot chocolate in New York, followed by the largest collection of lipstick prints by the Big Apple’s Cosmopolitan magazine. And the records kept on falling: In Memphis, Tennessee, the Universal Cheerleaders Association broke the largest cheerleading dance by 72 people, and in Fort Worth, Texas, the Stockyards Championship Rodeo established the record for the most people lassoing simultaneously.

     

    As the sun set on the day, some records were still underway, others had yet to be reported back to Guinness World Records’ head office in London. What was sure, though, was that it had been a great day of record breaking. Congratulations to all those who took part, and commiserations to everyone who failed to make the mark! To those disheartened, don’t worry, you’ve got a year to get back into training for GWR Day 2010.

• GWR Day: Heart Breakfast!

  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    Guinness World Records Day kicked off early in the United Kingdom today as adjudicator Ralph Hannah was invited to Heart FM studios in London, UK for Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Harriet Scott. Last year on Guinness World Records Day the fastest talker Sean Shannon and BBC Newcastle DJ Jon Harle set the record for the fastest time to recite the first verse of a song by a team of two. But today Jamie and Harriet invited the Great British public to phone in and try and set the individual version of the fastest time to recite the first verse of a song.

    

    The rules were simple, the verse must be longer than 28 words and from an officially released song that had charted in at least one country. The song of choice this morning was Madonna's 1986 single True Blue from the album of the same name. After Alison from London had phoned in and failed to recite the verse under the required 10 seconds the Heart studios received a call from Daniel Black who had pulled over on the A10. The part-time MC reeled off the verse in an incredible 7.91 seconds, a brand new Guinness World Record!

    

    But just as the presenters thought they had escaped there was one more record surprise in store. 100 balloons had been blown up in the studio next door in preparation for an attempt for the most balloons burst in one minute. Harriet excused herself (she is due to give birth in January) so the onus fell on Jamie who leapt into it with gusto!

    

    One minute and one tired breakfast radio DJ later - the attempt was over and verification began.

    

    The result, good news and bad news. The good news was that Jamie had beaten Lorraine Kelly who attempted the record last week and only managed 28. The bad news was that with 30 balloons burst, Jamie was ten short of the minimum of 40 balloons needed to set this record. Better luck next time to Jamie but congratulations to Daniel who was officially the UK's first Guinness World Records Day holder!!

• GWR Day: Fastest time to burst

  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    On Tuesday 10 November 2009 adjudicator Ralph Hannah was invited to BBC's Blue Peter the longest running children's magazine programme for a special Guinness World Records Day attempt. Powerlifter Shaun Jones of Norwich, United Kingdom claimed he was going to be quicker than the fastest man Usain Bolt as he attempted the record for the fastest time to blow up a hot water bottle.

    

    Shaun had been in training for months and we had a sneak preview here first. But despite all his hard work, on the day itself anything could happen and there was tension in the Blue Peter studio as Shaun prepared for this extremely dangerous attempt. In order to keep himself focused and in the zone Shaun had been accompanied by Dom his motivational singer who planned to spur Shaun to record glory with his inspirational rap.

    

    Whether it was Shaun's training, Dom's singing, Blue Peter presenter's Helen, Andy and Joel's cheering or a combination of all three it worked! Shaun may not have been as quick as Usain Bolt's 100 metre record of 9.58 seconds but he can certainly burst a hot water bottle faster than Bolt can run 200 metres - Shaun smashed the previous record of 51.98 seconds by bursting a hot water bottle in an astonishing 18.81 seconds!

    The lung-busting effort left Shaun flat out, literally as he collapsed to the floor. But there was no need to worry the new Guinness World Records record holder was just taking a moment to recover before accepting his certificate. What a perfect way to warm up for Guinness World Records Day on 12 November!

• GWR DAY: Fastest time to burst

  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    In the lead up to Guinness World Records Day, Brits that tune into BBC1 children’s television programme ‘Blue Peter’, could be in for something very special.  On Tuesday 10th November 2009 Norwich born power lifting champion Shaun Jones will attempt to break the record for the fastest time to burst a hot water bottle.  That’s right; using only his breath Shaun will blow into the hard plastic container and literally attempt to blow the current record to bits!

    

    This is Shaun stood alongside his singing motivational coach, Big Dom.

     

    The record is currently held by the American, Brian Jackson.  He managed the feat in 51.98 seconds at the Tahlequah High School, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, USA, on 13 April 2006.

    We managed to get hold of some footage of the strong man in training:

    Will he break the record?  Find out on Blue Peter (BBC1) from 16:30 on Tuesday 10th November!

    
    Interesting side note:

    Blue Peter holds a Guinness World Record of its own for being the longest running children's magazine programme
    Blue Peter (BBC, UK), was first transmitted from London's Lime Grove Studios on 16 October 1958 and celebrated 45 years on air in October 2003. Originally presented by Christopher Trace and Leila Williams (both UK), it has so far seen a total of 29 presenters, the longest serving being John Noakes (UK) who hosted from 1965-1978.

• World Record Breaking Mania St

  • Description:

    A MAN PULLING A DOUBLE-DECKER BY THE HAIR, MASS CHEERLEADING AND A GIANT GINGERBREAD MAN…?  IT CAN ONLY BE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS DAY!

    2 November 2009 (London, UK) – People around the world are getting ready to defy the monotonous month of November and break some wacky and wonderful records on the fifth annual Guinness World Records Day (12 November). Celebrated to commemorate the day in 2004 when Guinness World Records became the world’s bestselling copyright book of all time, Guinness World Records Day attracts hundreds of thousands of record-breakers around the world every year - in a true spirit of philanthropy and fun.

    As in previous years, wacky and wonderful Brits promise to showcase their talent and raise money for their favourite charities on Guinness World Records Day. Among the dozens of attempts planned around the country, London will host the big comeback of 59-year old Manjit Singh who will perform a hair-raising attempt for the furthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with hair (New World Record).  Also in the Capital, commuters will literally come together at St Pancras Station for the most people hugging for one minute (100), while hundreds will descend on Alexandra Palace as they attempt to skate their way into the records book for the longest conga on ice (107). In Southampton the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will team up with Justdance Salsa for the largest salsa dance (451).  Demonstrating his physical strength in support of the British Heart Foundation, “British Master’s Squat Power Lifting Champion” Shaun Jones from Norwich hopes to grab the title for most weight squat lifted in one hour (41,600kg) and the fastest hot water bottle burst (51.98 secs).  In Northern Ireland, Oaks Shopping Centre will celebrate Guinness World Records Day with a record attempt for largest human mattress dominoes (121) to raise money for Marie Curie cancer nurses, and Ballyclare High School will hold the largest sports lesson (250).   Meanwhile, Carr’s Glen Primary School in Belfast celebrates it 70th anniversary by organising the largest gathering of people dressed as storybook characters (NWR).  

    Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday says: “Guinness World Records Day is a perfect opportunity for individuals and organizations to raise awareness of their causes, and this year’s line-up of record-breakers is even bigger and better than last year. We look forward to seeing dozens of new records being broken around the world and welcoming new achievers in to the family of Guinness World Records.”

    Record-breaking mania on Guinness World Records Day will not just hit the UK, as countries around the globe put their best foot forward with amazing attempts such as the fastest vehicle crossing of the Egyptian western desert, during 24 hours in Egypt, largest bikini parade (281) in Australia, and most nationalities in a Sauna (57) in Finland. Elsewhere in Europe, Rolf Allerdissen in Germany will brave the cold November weather in a record attempt for furthest distanced covered in 24 hours on a water slide (75.72 miles) , and Norway sets out to get into the Christmas spirit early with the largest gingerbread man (593.53 kg).  Across the Atlantic, the US will celebrate Guinness World Records Day with events including the largest cheerleading dance (225), in Memphis, Tennessee and most people lassoing simultaneously in Texas.

    Now a global phenomenon, Guinness World Records Day commemorates the day in 2004 when the book became the world’s bestselling copyright title with a hundred million copies sold. Any records set on Guinness World Records day are short-listed for inclusion in next year’s edition of the book, which is currently enjoying a top position on the UK’s bestseller list. Information on the exact time and location of each of these events is found in the notes to editor. Some of the times are subject to change.

• DragoonCon Thriller 2009

  • From: scarfyrre
  • Description:

     

    Back in May of 2009, as I planned for my yearly trip to geek Mecca known as DragonCon, I stumbled across Kevin Dua's GWR announcement for the number of "Thriller" dancers.  Suddenly, I had visions of Stormtroopers, Browncoats, fairies, superheroes, and all the other costumed geeks that attend the convention dancing "Thriller" side by side.  I thought besides going for a record, we would at least have fun.

    I contacted the events leader of DragonCon, and then started the Guinness wheels into motion.  Over the months, over 500 people signed up on our website (dragoconthriller.com), and people were excited to become a part of not only mundane history, but of DragonCon history.  This was the first time an event like this had taken place in the 20+ years of the convention.

    The convention lasts four days, and during those days over 40,000 people wander the four host hotels in downtown Atlanta, GA.  People were dancing to "Thriller" at parties, in the hallways all hours of the night, fan films were made, and even some of our musical headliners got into the spirit of the weekend by dancing and singing to MJ's greatest song.  We even had a convention member from England dancing in his full-bodied Alien costume!  To see the madness this event caused, all one needs to do is go to YouTube and search for DragonCon Thriller.  It was a sight to behold.

    On Sunday, September 6th, which was the day of the attempt, we had scheduled two rehearsals starting at 4pm, and the attempt was to take place at 7pm.  As main organizer, I had spent the day fiddling with paperwork, so I was a bit late getting to the hotel where the rehearsal and attempt was to take place.  I had to eat and get myself into costume, after all.

    I walked into the lower part of the huge hotel for rehearsal, and I was met with hundreds of people either learning or practicing the zombie dance of "Thriller".  This is a hotel in a city with several million people in residence.  There are 760 rooms in this hotel, and many ballrooms and meeting rooms, so to walk into the lowest level and seeing wall to wall costumed geeks was an amazing sight.  I just burst into tears seeing my vision from May come to life in September, and everyone just as excited as I was about this event.

    After much herding, we finally got almost 1,000 people into the ballroom.  Bless them, they all followed directions for spacing them, placing their various costumed selves in areas where tails and false limbs would not smack their neighbors over, and after one run-through were ready to dance.

    We held our pose of fright until the final sound of Mr. Price's laughter died away, and the cheers that went up were so loud they drowned out our finishing signal.  We hugged, high-fived, laughed, and jumped up and down like children at Christmas.  The energy was amazing, and it was the highlight of the convention.

    The stress was unbelievable, but thankfully herding nerds is easier than herding chickens...but just barely!  I made a gaggle of new friends, I learned how to dance like Michael Jackson, and I breathed new life into a convention I love.  Except for the record, what more could one nerd girl want?

    Very special thanks to my fellow organizers Lisa Denney and Lauren Leasure, the wonderful volunteers that not only became our dance beacons but impromptu teachers, and to Mandy Collier of DragonCon who believed in us.

• Largest game of Chinese whispe

  • From: gwr_adj_archive
  • Description:

    You wouldn’t normally expect a football player to urge a crowd at a football stadium to be quiet, but 11 July 2008 was no normal day at Arsenal Football Club’s Emirates Stadium. BI Worldwide Ltd had invited 1,500 children aged seven to 11 from across the United Kingdom to the stadium to take part in what they hoped would be the largest game of Chinese whispers, in an attempt to beat the record of 1,083 participants set in 2006. The rules were simple, in theory: each child had to whisper the sentence to the child on their right, who passed it on in turn, weaving from row to row until the last child whispered it to the person who had started. At no point were the participants allowed to talk, except for when they passed on the whisper. This was the hardest rule, as the primary school children had to remain quiet for 2 hours and 4 minutes – the time it took for the whisper to go round the 1,330 children who showed up on the day itself. To keep them occupied, the children were entertained by former England international John Salako, children’s entertainer Sean Clarke and break-dancing group Nemesis.

    
    The original sentence was “Together we can make a world of difference”, but once this had been passed on 1,330 times it had morphed to “We’re going to break a world record” and finished as an excited “Haaaa!” Once the whisper had finished it was up to Guinness World Records Adjudicators Matt Boulton and Ralph Hannah to decide if all the guidelines had been followed correctly. Thanks to the tremendous organizational efforts of BI Worldwide Ltd and all the teachers, the entertainers and of course the fantastic concentration shown by the children themselves, the Guinness World Records Adjudicators were more than satisfied that the rules had been adhered to. When the announcement was made the crowd burst into life and for the first time in two hours the Emirates was filled with children’s voices as they congratulated themselves and each other.

    
    The Guinness World Records certificate was gratefully accepted by Richard Bandell, Managing Director of BI Worldwide Ltd, who thanked the children for making this record possible. The event was a double success, as BI – in conjunction with Arsenal Football Club – raised £100,000 for children’s charities TreeHouse and Save the Children.
