- kplo, on 04/15/2009, -2/+79Sounds like a record.
- tehWyman, on 08/19/2009, -1/+46Someone please correct me if my thinking is wrong here, but if they put his 100 records in the book won't it result in an endless loop?
First person to hold 100 records. 101*
First person to hold 101 records. 102*
First person to hold 102 records. 103* - Trebis, on 04/16/2009, -2/+34At first I thought that was lame, but then I realized it's actually pretty awesome. I mean, are you the best in the world at... anything? I don't care about obscure or ridiculous it is, do you really think you're the best?
It's kinda cool that that guy can say "Yes" for so many things. - blapierre, on 04/16/2009, -0/+23No, because the record is "the person with the most records".
- smindsrt, on 04/15/2009, -2/+23"38 M&Ms with chopsticks in one minute" - I'm announcing it now... if that's the record look out as I'm going to break that. [now where is that eater candy]
- inactive, on 04/16/2009, -1/+21Is one of them the record for holding the most Guinness world records?
- chimera200, on 04/16/2009, -0/+18I see this resulting in some sort of insane recursive record giving phenomenon...

100 Most Current Records Held at the same time by an individual (100) April 2009 US - RobotKeaton, on 04/16/2009, -0/+14Unless one of the records is being the most social man on Earth!
But you're probably right. - LawScholar, on 06/25/2009, -0/+12Enjoy the gonorrhea.
In all seriousness, congratulations for owning the ***** out of my face. - 4rp4n3t, on 04/16/2009, -3/+14Furman said. "I just love the challenge of trying to be the best in the world in something."
I said "No matter how trivial and ***** pointless that something is..." - t4stringer, on 04/15/2009, -2/+12Guy must not have much of a social life.

- nshady, on 04/16/2009, -1/+6Man, that must be some sort of rec...
Oh. Just five hours too late. Dammit. - Mtdewrulz, on 04/16/2009, -0/+5I remember when frankfurters were a nickel!

"Do you know what book holds Guinness record for being the most sold book in the world?"
Would that not be the Bible? - pissshivers, on 04/16/2009, -1/+4101*
His website just crashed in record time. - homer00, on 04/16/2009, -0/+3Actually, yes.
- bobburn1, on 04/16/2009, -1/+4I hold the record for least amount of people killed ever...I share it with a few people.
- kibbledbits, on 04/16/2009, -2/+5Holding down 100 Guinness beers would be more impressive
- dollar0dot02, on 04/16/2009, -1/+4Talking about recursion: do you know what book holds Guinness record for being the most sold book in the world? It's the Guinness World Record Book.
- crossmr, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2Guiness lost their way long ago, when they started writing down records for basically anything anyone can think of.
- Truzen, on 04/16/2009, -1/+3If anyone picked up a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records, I think they would hold the most records, even if just for a very few seconds.
- DavidTurnbull, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2Uh, why wouldn't he be happy?
He's the best in the world at 100 things.
99.9% of people aren't the best at a single thing...
Sure, he may be good at things that seem irrelevant, but once again, that's still more than most people. - revenz, on 04/16/2009, -3/+5have you seen the list of his "records" (http://www.ashrita.com/records), pretty much every single one of them is a load of crap. thats the problem with guiness, they're completely stupid
- Anand999, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2Not good enough, I demand a link that lists each achievement on a separate page.
- the8thbit, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2"Not good enough, I demand a link that lists each achievement on a separate page."
102*
Most ad-revenue from one mildly interesting article. - christoast, on 04/16/2009, -1/+3I am so stupid. For almost a minute looking at the comments and article i thought he held 100 Guinness books. The physical books.
- the8thbit, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2"The person with the most recursive records"
- SitPoMk, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2Apparently you do, at least enough to go ahead and comment on it instead of just glancing over it carelessly.
- the8thbit, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2So we put records in your records so you can compete while you compete.
- hongkongjapie, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1Guess I hold the record of the lousiest comments, didn't expect to be digged up, but didn't see -6 (and going) coming.
- crossmr, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1There has gotta be some kind of zen master who can eat 5,000 in a minute..
- crossmr, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1That's okay, its digg, you don't have to tell the truth to get a digg. In fact it helps if you lie.
- the8thbit, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1theaceoffire: Yes, theoretically, in total, however, I believe that the Guinness Book of Records holds that record for most per year.
- jessemoya, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1*Everyone's killed that ONE jew...
- the8thbit, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1The guy who previously held the most world records probably does.
He's probably very sad. :( - TheVirus, on 04/17/2009, -0/+1101 | Holding Exactly 100 Records | Held at the same time by an individual | (101) | April 2009 | US
