A New Stupid World Record
Seems like just about anything can be attempted to set a world record. My late grandfather was at one time a Guinness World Record holder for being the oldest person…
DUISBURG, GERMANY – SEPTEMBER 01: A representative from the Guinness Book of World Records Jack Brockba stands next to the Sandburg sandcastle on September 1, 2017 in Duisburg, Germany. A local travel agency commissioned the building of the sandcastle and sought to beat the previous world record of 14.84 meters and make it with 16.68 meters to set the new Guinness Book of World Record. The Sandburg took three weeks to build and is made from 3,500 tons of sand. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)
Maja Hitij / StaffSeems like just about anything can be attempted to set a world record. My late grandfather was at one time a Guinness World Record holder for being the oldest person to skydive solo. He did it at 92 years of age. The record has since been broken, but it is very cool to have a family member doing something so awesome.
He wanted me to sky dive with him and set a new record for a grandson and grandfather tandem jump. I told him sorry, i love you dearly, but no way!
Now this new world record is pretty stupid and possibly dangerous.
Guinness World Records says Martin Ströby, of Sweden, recently broke a world record by fitting 81 matches up his nose. He beat the previous record of 68 matches. Martin's kids now see him as a cool dad. I guess a congratulations goes to Martin?
