Just been scanning over my Gunniness world records book and thought's I'd share some of the amazement with you! :)
"MOST WANTED TERRORIST" - Osama Bin Laden has swiped the award for being the worlds most wanted terrorist. A reward of $25 million dollers is being offered if you catch him, but kids, I strongley advise you don't approach him!
"HIGHEST CONCERT" - The band Jamiroquai (UK) performed a gig in an aircraft, it was the highest and fastest gig ever at 35,000ft on a 737 that had been fitted specially for the event.
"OlDEST BRANDING" - Tate & Lyle's goden syrup (UK) has featured the same branding (packaging) since 1885.
"HIGHEST BACKWARDS TENPIN BOWLING SCORE" - Joe Scrandis (USA) scored 175 points in a single game from bowling backwords. (must have been very boring) Well that's as many as I can be bothered to post now. You can pobably find more detailed info somewhere else like the world records website.
The Falkirk wheel is a structure which joins two parts of a canal together which are on different levels. The wheel is named after a town called Falkirk in central Scotland. The height difference between the two levels is 24 metres. Thought I'd make this the first post because a friend showed me this a while back and I think it is one of the most amazing structures in the UK.
