guinness world records

According to The Courier, the Guinness Book of World Records says the video above set a world record.

For most unnecessary cheer of all time?

On Tuesday, 850 employees of La Quinta Inn & Suites set a new Guinness World Record for longest chain of human mattress dominoes.

Cool, you guys!

I'm still never setting foot inside a La Quinta Inn & Suites. And I'm definitely not sleeping on your fat employee's sweat-stained mattress.

Did you know that Guinness World Records has their own YouTube channel?

I used to love the Guinness Book of World Records.  Nothing like flipping through a 1,000 page reference book full of page after page of tiny type to get a kid excited.

But now, kids are on the Internet, so instead of reading that the World's Tallest Man is 8 ft. 1 in. tall and then looking up at the ceiling and thinking, Boy, that's pretty tall, tykes today actually get to see the World's Tallest Man.

The future!

But then something happened.  I watched the above video of the world's tallest man that Guinness put out last week, and I have to say, he doesn't really look that tall.  I mean, when I was little, I figured the world's tallest man would be really f'ing tall!

What do you think?
