    Guinness World Records should honor worthwhile achievements and noteworthy accomplishments, not idiotic feats such as this one. "My father is a firefighter and has put out more than a hundred fires!" "My father has written more than a hundred books!" "Well, my father put watermelons on his stomach and cut them in half!" Big whoop.

    Man slices 27 watermelons in half on his stomach in 60 seconds, sets Guinness World Record

    i don't know why but the old Beech-Nut Chewing Gum "Yipes! Stripes!" jingle is running through my brain.

    Forrest Gump is correct: "Stupid is as stupid does." This stupid person won the contest but lost his life.

    Here is another weird news story from Florida. It may be one of the strangest things you've ever herd. (Ouch!)

    Cows help catch suspect in Florida police chase
    Jalopnik.com, Aug 9 2018 11:35 AM

    Police in Sanford, Florida saw a stolen Subaru on Monday and tried to pull it over. The driver ran a stop sign trying to get away before crashing into a ditch. The driver, Jamie Young, ran in one direction while a passenger, Jennifer Kaufman, ran in another. A third passenger, Erin Thomas, stayed in the car. The K-9 unit helped catch Young hiding in some bushes. But Kaufman was still running when she ran right into a group of cows, which then proceeded to run after her and push her toward the edge of the field and right into the authorities' hands.

    Young, Kaufman and Thomas were arrested on drug charges, petit theft, possession of cocaine, resisting an officer and trespassing. Young was also charged with theft of a motor vehicle, giving false identification, and driving with a suspended or revoked license and Thomas was also charged with giving false identification.

    I wonder if she smacked her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, silly me! I thought I had lost a contact lens and it was right there all this time!" No, probably not.

    A contact lens was embedded in a woman's eyelid for 28 years

    Yeah, this got into the Guinness Book Of World Records -- but what good is a single 20-foot-high chess piece without the other 31?

    World's largest chess piece constructed in St. Louis

    PETA members do a lot of bizarre stunts in their efforts to call attention to the need to protect animals. This is one of the most bizarre:

    PETA asks Maine for permission to honor dead lobsters with a big roadside gravestone
    CBS News, Aug 30 2018

    Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked officials for permission to erect a 5-foot tombstone to mark the site of an August truck crash that spewed lobsters onto a Maine road.

    If the state's Department of Transportation grants the request, PETA says it will memorialize the "countless sensitive crustaceans" who were killed during the August 22 crash in Brunswick. The gravestone would read "In Memory of the Lobsters Who Suffered and Died at This Spot" and urge people to "Try Vegan."

    The crash involved a truck carrying 7,000 pounds of lobster. After the truck rolled over, traffic backed up for hours as crews attempted to clear the street of the crustaceans. Several lobsters were crushed as a result of the crash. The Department of Transportation is reviewing PETA's request.

    "This cod reeks so bad, I'd swear it's been in this store for two weeks.....but it must be fresh-caught. Just look at its eyes!" Yeah, I doubt the fake eyeballs fooled anyone.

    Kuwaiti store owner caught sticking googly eyes on fish to make them look fresh

    I admit a hundred plates of sushi is a bit much -- but obviously this man was really hungry. He should sue this "all-you-can-eat" restaurant for false advertising.
