**BREAKING: St. Louis Museum Shatters Records and Sanity with Underwear Extravaganza**
In a bizarre display of absurdity, the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for gathering a staggering 355 people who donned underwear on their heads simultaneously. The event, which took place on Saturday, left onlookers bewildered and participants grinning from ear to ear.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as “surreal” and “hilarious,” with some onlookers struggling to comprehend the sheer audacity of the feat. “I was walking by the museum and saw a sea of people with underwear on their heads,” said local resident, Jane Doe. “At first, I thought it was some kind of prank, but then I saw the Guinness World Records officials verifying the attempt. I was like, ‘This is either genius or madness’!”
The record-breaking event, which was months in the making, required meticulous planning and coordination. Participants, ranging from toddlers to seniors, were encouraged to wear their most colorful and creative undergarments on their heads, with some opting for elaborate designs and others choosing more…ahem… “interesting” pairs.
“I wore my favorite polka-dot thong on my head,” said participant, John Smith. “It was a real crowd-pleaser! I even got a few compliments from strangers.”
The previous record holder, a small town in Denmark, had managed to gather 200 people sporting underwear on their heads. The City Museum’s attempt more than doubled that number, cementing St. Louis’s reputation as a hub for the weird and wonderful.
As the crowd of underwear-clad participants cheered and took selfies, Guinness World Records officials verified the attempt, declaring the City Museum the new record holder.
“We’re thrilled to have broken this record,” said City Museum director, Sarah Johnson. “It’s a testament to the creativity and playfulness of our community. And who knows? Maybe next year we’ll try to break the record for most people wearing pants on their heads.”
The event has sparked widespread interest, with many social media users expressing their amazement and delight at the absurdity of it all.
“I never thought I’d see the day where people would wear underwear on their heads en masse,” tweeted @STLLocal. “But hey, at least it’s not every day you see something that ridiculous.”
The City Museum’s record-breaking achievement is set to go down in history as one of the most bizarre and entertaining Guinness World Records ever recorded.
**UPDATE:** The City Museum has announced plans to display the underwear worn by participants in a special exhibit, with proceeds going to support local charities. So, if you’re in the St. Louis area, be sure to stop by and see the world’s largest collection of head-worn underwear!
