It seems like you can make a Guinness World Record out of any feat these days. Last year, 381 Australian kids set the Guinness World Record for simultaneous Nintendo DS playing. I wonder if there’s a Guinness World Record for most people standing around in Times Square with a thumb in their ass.

Tomorrow, members of a UK DS fan group called DSLondon are going to take a crack at breaking last year’s simultaneous Nintendo DS playing record. DSLondon hopes to attract at least 500 DS gamers to the Rocket Complex on Holloway Road, London. In the area? Be a part of history. All you’ve got to do is show up with a DS and begin playing. What an easy record to break.

A publicity stunt celebrating the upcoming Olympic games in Beijing leaves 2008 needles in Dr. Wei Sheng’s head as well as a few hundred in his shoulder (just for kicks).  When you’re already in the Guinness Book of World Records for sticking needles into your head, there is little you can do besides stick more needles in your head to attempt to break your own record. Dr. Wei Sheng, however, has decided to wear lipstick. What a fag.
