British citizen Manjit Singh, 59, broke a world record on Thursday, pulling a double-decker bus 69 feet 6 inches by ribbons tied to his hair. The bus weighed a hefty 8.5 British tons (19,040 lbs). He tried to break the same record earlier using his ears, but failed. Apparently there was an estimated 200,000 people who attempted to break records yesterday to honor the fifth annual Guinness World Records Day on November 12. Speaking of which, my friend Mike actually broke a Guinness world record last year in Japan for traveling longest distance by train in a 24-hour period!
