**BREAKING: Guinness World Records Turns 70 and Dares Fans to Get Weird**
In a bizarre celebration of its 70th anniversary, Guinness World Records is throwing down the gauntlet to thrill-seekers and oddball enthusiasts everywhere. To mark this momentous occasion, the organization is challenging fans to attempt to set 70 unclaimed records that are so ridiculously specific, you’ll wonder how they didn’t think of them sooner.
And, of course, we’re not just talking about your run-of-the-mill, everyday records. No, no. We’re talking about the crème de la crème of weird and wacky achievements. Like, have you ever wondered who can eat the most pancakes while reciting Shakespearean sonnets? Or, more pertinently, who can run 400 meters in a sack faster than anyone else on the planet?
That’s right, folks. The Guinness World Records team is calling on daredevils and goofballs to take on the challenge of setting the fastest 400 meter sack race time EVER. That’s right, you’ll be donning a sack (we assume a burlap one, for that authentic, rustic feel) and sprinting – well, more like stumbling and staggering – down a track at breakneck speeds.
But that’s not all. Other outlandish records up for grabs include:
* Longest duration spinning a top on a toothbrush while balancing a chicken on your head (current record: 3 minutes, 14 seconds)
* Most hamburgers eaten while doing the chicken dance (current record: 12 hamburgers in 5 minutes)
* Fastest 100m dash while wearing flippers and a tutu (current record: 15.6 seconds)
* Longest marathon playing the kazoo (current record: 24 hours, 37 minutes)
The possibilities are endless, and the stakes are high. Will you be the one to take home the coveted title of World’s Okayest Sack Runner? Or will you become the champion of Extreme Ironing (current record: 3 hours, 22 minutes)?
So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start practicing your sack-running skills. The world is watching, and Guinness World Records is waiting for your application.
**How to participate:**
1. Choose a record from the list of 70 unclaimed titles on the Guinness World Records website.
2. Make sure you have a witness (or three) to verify your attempt.
3. Send in your application, complete with video evidence and a detailed description of your achievement.
4. Wait for the Guinness World Records team to review your application and (fingers crossed) declare you a record-breaker!
So, go ahead. Get weird. Get wacky. Get recognized by Guinness World Records.
**This is not a drill.**
