Has anyone else noticed that the Guinness World Records people now have a channel on YouTube? Most of the new world records are really bizarre, though - things that either anyone could do, or things that most people wouldn't even think a person could do. There's one for the largest number of spiders on a human body for 30 seconds, which I was boggling about because any human who is not afraid of spiders could do it (I'd certainly volunteer). And another for the most t-shirts worn at once, where the only problems are a) finding t-shirts large enough for the later stages and b) not overheating whilst wearing 200+ t-shirts. Then there's a record for the most number of people crammed into a Smart car (the original two-seater design). And a video of what they describe as "underpant jumping". Frenchman Matthieu Bommier jumped into and out of a pair of underpants a total of 27 times in a minute on the set of L'Émission des Records in Paris, France in April 2001. Um.

Going to bed now, and found this at the back of my windows. Oops. Hope
