Records.

If you have ever read or at least looked at a World Records book, you would notice that at least half of them are pointless. You'd see things like fastest time to swim a 100 yd butterfly and then you's find things like the largest collection of rubber duckies. Sometimes, I wonder why someone would want a record for things like the most toes/fingers on them and the longest fingernails. Why do people enter things like that?? I am going to finish this post with a few records I find intersting/ wierd.

Longest word in the English language consisting strictly of alternating consonants and vowels:

Honorificabilitudinitatibus meaning: "with honorableness" - nonsense word from medieval literature

Longest hot dog: 34 ft. 5.25 in. Fastest Furniture: 87 mph. Greatest distance traveled on a pogo stick: 23.11 miles

Longest human domino chain: 9,234 people, 2.6 miles
