Or c) Dig a vast network of underground tunnels like some sort of one-man Vietnamese resistance group for no apparent reason? London man William Lyttle chose ‘b’. ![]() Do you: a) Sell the house and spend all the money on booze, drugs and hookers? b) Be responsible and do some DIY home improvements to help secure your future? Drew completed her book and would have been a world record holder – except she missed out that tiny little detail of having a witness to her six years of riveting typing.Ī quick hypothetical: Your parents die when you’re 37, leaving you a house worth over B30 million. The result was almost 2,500 pages full of numbers. So, like anyone else in the 1960s on a mission, Marva sat down at her typewriter and began typing. But Guinness World Records usually likes some sort of proof, and “I promise I thought them all in my head” wasn’t going to fly. So when her young son came home from school one day and said his teacher told the class that it was impossible to count to a million, she just wasn’t going to take that crap. Marva Drew was a good mother, and anyone who said anything to the contrary could go screw themselves. Oh, and he refers to it as ‘Starbucking’, which is one of those cases where it seems wholly unnecessary to invent a verb to describe an activity no one else is doing but you. Winter has visited 8,651 stores in North America with only 46 to go, while he’s also had drinks at 2,134 stores in other countries – he’s even visited the seven Starbucks here in Phuket. We like to call him ‘Mentally Deficient’, because for the past 15 years, he has undertaken a quest of epic and ridiculous proportions: to consume a coffee from every single Starbucks on Earth. Mitchell described the task as “tremendously monotonous”, which sounds like the biggest understatement ever stated, since after you complete level 20, you have to play the exact same level over 200 times in a row. In order to get this perfect score, he had to eat every pellet, fruit and blue ghost on the screen for every level. He set the record in 1999 after coming out of a 14-year retirement so he could focus on things like real life. Ol’ Billy is the first person to ever get the highest possible score in Pac-Man, at 3,333,360 points. If you’ve ever sunk way too much time into completing a video game, you can at least feel better for not being Billy Mitchell. It comes as no real surprise then that no one has yet successfully challenged the record, probably because all the viable candidates are locked up in padded cells somewhere. Ma, apparently not wanting to waste time on ridiculous things like preventing pain, took every one of the piercings without anesthetic, making himself as figuratively metal as he is now literally metal. They succeeded, at a staggering 1,055 piercings in just under eight hours. So he located tattoo artist Charlie Wilson, and the pair went about attempting to break the world record for most piercings in 24 hours. In 2006, Kam Ma decided he was nowhere near famous or metallic enough for his liking. ![]()
