One year to get into Guiness Book

TheDudeAbides · #1 08-30-2007, 11:47 AM

So my friend, father of Ryan Danger Goldberg , has got himself into another ridiculous prop bet and I'd like to help him out. He made a bet with another guy that he could break a world's record within one year's time. It doesn't matter what record it is, as long as he is able to officially break the existing record.

So I ask you OOT - what's his best plan? What record would likely be the easiest to break within a year?

This looks beatable:
Fastest Lunge Mile

This guy has record for having the most world records. A lot of them are athletic, I'm guessing most people couldn't beat this, although, I have no clue how long a lunge mile would take me. link

just finishing a mile of lunges would be very, very, very difficult, imo, let alone doing it at a reasonable pace.

After a quick look at the site I saw that the largest collection of penguins is a little over 2500. He could probably buy this one.

This seems ridiculously easy.

It would only cost you fabric and some time to make. You could even pay a seamstress to do it. I can't imagine that this would cost more then a few hundred dollars to do.

Also, what are the stakes for this bet?

What hell is a lunge mile?

He's getting odds on his money. Stakes are $10K if he loses, $25K if he wins.

I can't imagine doing lunges for a mile where your knee must touch the ground after each one.

Crazy Germans.

The problem here would be that if you paid a seamstress to do it, she'd probably be the one who'd get in the book. He'd have to learn to use a sewing machine, but this could be done.
