Thai Couples Break Longest Kiss Guinness World Record

A Thai couple has made history with the longest kiss ever during a Valentine's Day "kissathon" after they locked lips for 46 hours, 24 minutes and nine seconds.

Organizers of the event, which took place at a southern beach resort town, claim it marked the longest recorded smooch in history.

"We didn't think we would find anybody that could break the record," CBS News quoted Somporn Naksuetrong, the manager of Pattaya's Louis Tussaud's Waxworks museum, which organized the competition, as saying.

Fourteen couples had started off the contest at 6 a.m. on February 13, and by February 14 afternoon, half had already beaten the record and were still smooching away on the corridor of an oceanside shopping mall in Pattaya.

A Bangkok couple, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat, emerged as the winner, and they were awarded a diamond ring worth 50,000 Thai Baht (1,606 dollars), and a cash prize of 100,000 Baht (3,213 dollars).

According to Guinness World Records, whose officials will have to verify the latest milestone for it to become official, the previous record of just over 32 hours had been set by a couple in Germany in 2009.

The rule for the kissathon is that couples should lock lips all the time, and if they wish to have a drink they have to do so using straws while continuing the kiss.

And if they wish to use the bathroom, they have to continue embracing each other, while accompanied by contest monitors. But the harshest rule was no sitting or sleeping.

Durham rowers break Atlantic crossing world record

A Wimbledon rower who smashed a trans-Atlantic world record on Monday has lost the title less than 24 hours later.
David Hosking skippered the six rowers of Team Hallin across the ocean in just under 32 days – beating the previous record for the 3,000-mile crossing by one day.
But yesterday rival boat the Sara G landed with a better time, taking the title from Mr Hosking’s celebrating crew.
Team Hallin, who are aiming to raise £60,000 for armed forces charity Combat Stress, set off from Tenerife in their trimaran boat Hallin Marine on January 6.
Hours after landing Mr Hosking, a 55-year-old former Royal Navy commander from Wilton Crescent, said: “Everyone has been amazing, our bodies are wrecked. It was stunning teamwork that saw us set a new world record, and the culmination of two years of planning.”
And on the day of arrival crew member Chris Covey proposed to his girlfriend Susie Easton, surprising her with a ring he had carried with him for the whole voyage.
The Sara G, which had six crew members from Britain, Malta and Ireland, left from Tarfaya in Morocco on January 5, but as the two boats went by different routes across the ocean, their times were used to find average speeds.
This calculation handed the Sara G an average speed of 3.9mph – compared to Team Hallin’s 3.4mph – the record and the Ocean Rowing blue riband trophy, which is adjudicated by the Ocean Rowing Society.

world record:-Chinese men break Guinness World Record for cold endurance

For Chen Kecai and Jin Songhao, Shanghai’s trials would seem like child’s play.  Both men recently competed in a "frozen alive" competition at Tianmenshan in Zhangjiajie city, Hunan Province.The ice endurance test is exactly what it sounds like: Jin and Chen were put in booths packed with ice wearing nothing but swim suits in the hope of breaking the world record.Jin lasted for 120 minutes while Chen stayed in for 118 minutes, both beating the previous Guinness World Record of standing in ice set at 115 minutes by the Dutch "Iceman," Win Hof.Doctors were on hand during the competition in case things began to go the way of the 2010 World Sauna Championship in Finland where a man died.What does one do while standing in a booth full of ice for two hours? Among other things, Jin whipped up some nice calligraphy for the crowd.

world record:-Brampton man to dance 125 hours straight to break world record

4 days into what was supposed to be a 5 day marathon, the 41-year-old Mississauga native had just now found out of a newsperson that he had have to dance an additional 13 hrs or more to break the Guinness world record he's later.

Joachim planned to dancing for one hundred ten hrs to break a 108-hour record set in 2008. But in Sep of this yr, Kalamandalam Hemaletha danced endlessly as 123 hrs and fifteen mins in India, adjusting the bar more than thirteen hrs above Joachim’s goal.

Joachim did not check recent online records for the longer individual dance marathon title on Guinness’s web web site earlier busting his 1st move. The site was cut down when he checked out, he said.

But he rapidly retrieved from the setback. This is, later all, a man who crawled fifty-six kms on his knees back in 2001 to make it into the almanac.

“I will continue and break the record. We will go for 125 hrs,” he said, smiling at event coordinator Terry Bachtis in the lobby of Brampton’s Rose Theatre, where he's been dancing since VIII a.m. on December. 27.

Bachtis and Joachim, who's Canada’s No. 1 title breaker, hatched afresh plan in mins.

Instead of celebrating the last minutes of his 110-hour odyssey in front of afresh yrs Eve crowd of 20,000 gathered outside for a concert, as had been planned, Joachim would go on stage and then return to the lobby and dance for a different fifteen hrs.

It will mean finish his attempt at 1:20 p.m. on New yrs Day. The theatre and the City of Brampton are sponsoring his newest record-breaking endeavour.

“God made this world. I accept both matters — failure and winner,” said Joachim.

Joachim’s wife made the soundtrack for his quest. The same 5 CDs of pop music and Tamil tracks rotate all 4 hrs or so, as the dancing man dances on, and on, and on. And on.

Mostly, he shuffles his feet side to side. When cameras are trained on Joachim, lifts his arms with more oomph.

Joachim has broken sixty-three world records in all, admitting having the most groomsmen in his wedding — 47; the quickest mile crawling — 23 mins and 45 secs; and the most apples bobbed in one min — 22.

Although most of those records have since been broken, Joachim still holds sixteen titles, admitting one for the farthest distance on foot later he ran 2.171 miles an hr for 1,000 hrs in 1996.

A Sri Lankan immigrant who came here in 2003, Joachim broke his 1st record on Canadian soil that yr by DJing at a Tamil radio station in Scarborough for 120 hrs.

He even held this especial dance title in the past. He 1st broke the record back in 2005.

He could still reclaim the title this time around. A spokesperson in Guinness’s NY office, who spoke to Joachim on the phone later he received the bad news, affirmed that he's yet qualified to adjust afresh record as long as he keeps dancing.

“Should he surpass this record and turn in each demanded documentation, he will have broken the record,” told Guinness spokesperson Sara Wilcox in an email.

That should not be a problem for Joachim, who's assistants working in shifts to document the songs that he dances to and while he takes breaks, which he is permitted to do for 5 mins every hr.

One assistant, Julia Regner, held a log book so theatre employees and anybody coming in off the street could sign as witnesses. Guinness will too consider pictures and video footage.
