Are you special?

Do you belong in the record books? Have you tried but failed to get into Guiness? Well here's your chance to set a record, any record.

Say hello to the Universal Record DataBase. The URDB is an on-line open platform for world records and everone's invited to participate.

Like Shauna Pharris who recited all 50 United States alphabetically while riding on a pogo stick in 23.62 seconds.

Or Madeleine Daepp who named 77 TV shows in one minute replacing one word of each title with "horse." Although there's some controversy. Seems Madeline read her list off a piece of paper while the original reocrd holder, Kumail Nanjiani, named his 16 TV shows from memory. There's talk of making a change to the record criteria.

I particularly liked Mr. Fester's achievement. He asked 33 questions during a single drive-thru visit.
While wearing a snuggie.

CRITERIA TO BEAT RECORD:
- all questions must be asked during a single visit
- only the driver's questions count
- may not ask same question more than once
- after questions are asked, must end up purchasing only one item

So get recognized for your talent. Set a record!
Just make sure you videotape and have at least one witness.
