When I was reading this story a suggested headline for another was "Desperate search at Turkey mine".
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I don't believe you mine turkeys, I am pretty sure you breed them.

Officials not eggs-actly sure how many chickens remain at large.
Lorry filled with chickens rolled over easy.
Who is the chickens favorite composer? Bock.
Egg puns have benedict-ing.
How's that for winging it?

Some of the chickens found their way into the cooking pots of queuing motorists who had wound down their windows to enjoy the sun.

Doesn't matter any way he goes is wrong.

So, with Rage being surprised at how easy it is to get yourself in Guiness World Records[^], I bet there must be some posters on here who are or have been in the book. Either named or were participants in an event that is in.
I have never been, although as I mentioned below my SIL and niece are. My parents, when at college and before they were married were both in for taking part in some sort of non-stop knitting record. They have a newspaper clipping about it somewhere.
So, who has been in and what did you do?
Edit: Just remembered I was involved in one. I went on a stag do to the rugby world sevens at Twickenham a couple of years ago where the broke the world record for most people dressed in beach attire (or some such nonsense).

Today I started an attempt to beat David Blaines record of doing FA for 44 Days in a box. So far I've done FA for 5 hours in a cubicle.

I have been part of the 50 people team setting up the biggest image(mosaic?) made of balloon. The balloons were inflated with Helium and then attached to a giant net in a field placed horizontally at about 1.8m from the ground. The picture could be seen by upper helicopter view. I can't find any pics/link, this took place about 20 years ago.
This actually turned not so well in the end, since the organizers made a mistake while estimating the drag force of the balloons (there were several thousands of them), so a few minutes after completing the image, the whole net flew away !! It was then tracked by the helicopter and this caused some disturbance in the flight traffic. It finally fell down in a forest.
But the record was validated. The balloon were all "sponsored" by people and the money went to a charity.

Call me cynical, but that's a hell of a waste of a limited resource.

I know But: 20 years ago, limited resource was not even a phrase at that time.

One of the more ridiculous records: part of a team of 4 that broke the record for most pairs of shoes cleaned in a certaion period (can't remember how long it was a long time ago). We held the record for 4 days then, as far as I recall, a troop of scouts in Times Square beat it.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

I took part in Sport Aid back in 1986 and ran the 10k in just under 50 minutes; not bad considering the numbers there. I will also say, I bloody hate that bloody Tears for Bloody Fears's bloody Everybloodybody Bloody Wants to Bloody Run the Bloody World!
