Everyone wants to feel special, but there’s a way you can prove it. Simply break a world record.
Easy to say, hard to achieve? Well, there are actually plenty of world records you can break from home.
World records aren’t just for Olympic-level athletes. Thousands of these records are stored over at the Guinness World Records vault.
If you can think of something that can be timed or counted, there’s a good chance there’s a world record attached to it. Just a few of our favourite examples include the most pegs attached to someone’s face (not one we want to try ourselves) and the highest number of T-shirts donned in 60 seconds.
There are world records for video games, eating pizza and flying a paper plane, all stored in the giant Guinness World Records database.
The mere mention of that name may make some of you a bit misty-eyed for Record Breakers. It was a show broadcast in the UK from 1972 to 2001, in which people tried to break world records under the supervision of Guinness World Records adjudicators.
