World's Biggest Bull - Chilli

World's Biggest Bull - Chilli

Chilli is a black and white Fresian bull. It is weighted 1.25 tons and is standing at 6 feet and 6 inches in height. Chilli grew up to become the biggest bovine in the world, according to Guinness World Record.
According to Naomi Clarke, manager of the Ferne animal Sanctuary in Ferne, Somerset, the bull doesn’t eat as much as the other cows and yet he outgrows them by far. He’s also abnormally friendly and gentle.
Now he’s 9 years old. He was lucky because yet he would not have ended up chopped into pieces and on the shelves of a meat market somewhere.

World's Fearest Place

World's Fearest Place

Recently the Sears Tower in Chicago has installed a glass-floored observation deck - 1,353ft up in the air.

Visitors can step out on to one of four glass boxes jutting out of the huge 110-storey office building.

It is called The Ledge. It has transparent walls and ceilings and is designed to give people a "floating sensation". It is made from glass just half-an-inch thick jutting out from the indoor observation deck.

Architect Ross Wilmer said: "We did studies that showed a 4ft deep enclosure makes you feel like you're floating since there's only room for one row of people, not two."

The new deck, on the 103rd floor of the building, is already attracting up to 25,000 visitors a day to the building, which opened in 1973.

Margaret Kemp, of Bishop, California, said: "It's like walking on ice - on the first step you feel you're going to fall."

World's Smallest Car

World's Smallest Car

Perry Watkins, a Buckinghamshire man has created the world's smallest car. It was built from a former Postman Pat children's ride.


The mini motor size is only 39 inches high and 26 inches wide and was converted by car fanatic Perry Watkins, 47, from Wingrave.

Over a period of seven months, Mr Watkins reinforced the fibre glass shell with a steel frame and mounted it on a mini quad bike.

He added a 150cc engine, mirrors, windscreen wipers, lights, 'go faster' flames and mock racing exhaust pipes. He also had to remove Postman Pat and his black-and-white-cat Jess from the inside.

"I searched on eBay for something suitable and found a Postman Pat coin-in-the-slot children's ride from a vendor in Scotland," he said.

The US-based World Records Academy has confirmed that this car 'The Wind-Up' - is officially the world's smallest car.

Students Collect 8.5 Million Pennies To Set A 100 Mile Long Penny Chain Record

Students Collect 8.5 Million Pennies To Set A 100 Mile Long Penny Chain Record

The Southern Californian students were collecting 8.5 million pennies at a speedway track Wednesday, trying to set a world record with a 100-mile-long penny chain and help a school program at the same time.


It is a nonprofit program. It provides free after-school care for students at more than 200 elementary and middle schools in at-risk communities in four counties:

Orange,

Los Angeles,

Riverside and

San Bernardino.

Each student collects pennies from their home. Students who collected the most got tickets to future Los Angeles Dodgers games, Flores said. It is also to show honor Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday and the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the Lincoln penny.

The money, about $84,500, will go to a program called THINK (Teaching, Helping, Inspiring & Nurturing Kids) Together. Nadia Flores, spokeswoman for the Santa Ana-based group, said the idea for "Miles of Change" came after group members saw students at a school in Kansas make a 40-mile-long chain of pennies in July 2008 to set a world record.

World's Largest Orgy In Japan

World's Largest Orgy In Japan

Japan has accomplished a new world record. Having 250 men and 250 women who commenced to have sex in the same place at the same time, completing the world biggest orgy ever!

The Orgy was held in a warehouse with a professional camera crew taking pictures and recording the entire event, which was pretty hot and sticky.

Imagine what it must be like to come stumbling across a room filled with 500 people having oral sex and screwing their brains out. Not to bad a way to end your day huh?

It all seemed a little too organized for our personally liking but leave it to the Japanese to accomplish a goal. Especially if it had anything to do with naked women and sex.

Environment Friendly Coffin

Environment Friendly Coffin

An Australian company has launched a personalised range of environmentally friendly coffins to make the final goodbye a little more individual.

Directors of the company said,"People are becoming increasingly aware of the impact they have on the environment and the availability of a Fair Trade funeral enables people to uphold their values through from life into death."

LifeArt offers customised designs such as an image of a surfer catching a wave, a picturesque scene or the colours of a favourite sports team.

Customers can design their own coffin or choose from a range of designs, such as a woodland glade, an open road, Sydney Harbour Bridge or a cowboy riding off into the sunset.

LifeArt coffins are manufactured from enviroboard, a form of cardboard, which meets the standards required by the funeral industry for either cremation or burial.

The company says it means their clients can "pass away safe in the knowledge that your container (and its treasured contents) can biodegrade quickly and harmlessly with less carbon emissions and without cost to timber forests".

World's Biggest Coffin Restaurant

World's Biggest Coffin Restaurant

Ukrainian undertakers say they have built the world's first death-themed restaurant - in a 65ft long coffin.


The huge casket is decorated with dozens of wreaths and normal-sized coffins, reports the Daily Telegraph.


Diners can order from a menu that includes "Nine Day" and "Forty Day" salads - named after local mourning rituals - and a dish called "Let's meet in paradise".


The restaurant, called Eternity, is the work of a funeral parlour in the town of Truskavets, in the west of the country near the Polish border.


"Thirty cubic metres of pine have been used for the construction," said Andri, one of those behind the enterprise.


"It's our director Stepan Pyrianyk who had the idea. He loves his work and reckons the project will bring tourists to Truskavets."


The undertakers hope their restaurant will be confirmed as the world's biggest coffin, attracting tourists to a region currently best known for its mineral-rich bathing waters.


Guinness World Records confirmed the biggest coffin title is currently unclaimed, but said they had yet to receive an application from Ukraine.
