Top 10 World Records from the Universal Record Database

universal-records-database

Have you ever wanted to have one record that no one else could touch? One piece of the pie no matter how small or insignificant it was? We’ve all heard of the Guiness Book of World Records. We all know exactly how they choose their winners. Now our new media culture has something for us. The Universal Record Database. Instead of some random people who claim to know from their encyclopedic knowledge who is worthy of a world record it is now up to us to choose, rate, and decide.

The competition is already getting pretty stiff for some of these, but if you can come up with something completely new you can always submit a new record. My Top 10 amazing records after the jump.
