Which world record would you like to set

Posted by: Ryan on: March 23, 2007

Today I wish to discuss the weird and wonderful world of the record breaker. I am personally a huge fan of the contestants on the competitive eating arena. I think you are not a real man unless you can shove 53 hot dogs down your throat in 12 minutes, like this guy Takeru Kobayashi… what a hero.

There is also this kid who can do 10,000 push-ups. I don’t think I have a chance at that record… unless the record is reduced to 2 push-ups because I reckon I could only just squeeze out 3 after some intensive training.

I was also reading about this guy who was a college student and he stayed awake for 11 days straight… i guess he really needed some money or something (do you get paid for breaking a record? Maybe you get Guinness… now there’s an incentive). What an insane thing to do… staying awake… why?

I think I would go for the sleeping record. After jet setting back from New York I managed to put away 18 hours of sleep… and I forced myself to get up. I don’t know what the record for sleeping is… I wonder if that guy who stayed awake for 11 days is currently my competition for the sleeping record. You’d think after 11 sleepless days you would sleep like a bear. I need to research this further.

So… which world record would you set?

i’d happily have a go at a drinking one, maybe something like consecutive beers – if only for the free beer to drink :D

I think I could eat the most in one day… I get full really quickly, but can eat a good six full size meals a day without any trouble!!

That kid is foul, no kid that age should be that developed! Who looks more like Brad Pitt – the kid or you…?

Ergh, after 24 hours of no sleep I freak

[...] follow up on my post about world records, this guy Tomas Vogel has set the world record for unhooking bras… you’d think a woman [...]

Latest from the Megaphone blog…

I have been thinking about what happened to Mr Muscle and was Laura White wrongly dismissed from the X Factor. Lately I have also been pondering what your Halloween costume of choice is... mine is not the old toilet roll mummy. I also pondered who is the sexiest 007 and who is the sexiest bond girl. I also wanted to know which books you are reading at the moment. In other news some sunovabitch keep hot-linking to my sexy picture of Kate Moss and I am not happy about it grrrr. Also Shannyn Sossamon, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Hello Boys, Carol Vorderman and Angelina as Tomb Raider.
