Lego Build Solves Rubik’s Cube & Beats The Record
One of the most annoying things I experienced as a kid happened when I was given a Rubik's cube as a birthday present. I mean, I was given a cube whose only purpose was to be solved.

Largest Balloon Sculpture In The World Is A Spider

World Record In Stiletto Racing (Yeah, It’s Possible)
I love high heels. I've been wearing them for years.

New World Record: The World’s Tallest Lego Tower
When I read that there was a new world record for the tallest Lego tower, my brain didn't really comprehend how tall it would be. This colorful tower of geeky goodness looks like it touches the sky!

The Key Card Hotel: Even The Toilet Is Made Out Of Cards!
What do you normally do with your key card when you leave a hotel? Throw it in the garbage can?

Now I have a bunch from all over the world. ...

The BASE Jumping World Record (illegal)
Since this BASE jump was very illegal, I’m sure some people might argue that it didn’t actually set the world record, but I still think it qualifies.
