A WORLD CHAMPION RECORD BREAKER : |
Can
anyone become a Wacky Records World Champion ?
Of
course, absolutely anyone, even if you weren't born naturally
gifted. Now, YOU have the opportunity to become a Wacky Records
World Champion too - think of a World Record, any World record and
be creative. Remember, Gerald Wacky's first record was pointing at a
tree and there are lots of things out there he hasn't pointed at
yet.
EXAMPLE: Point at your dog* - plus it's a record that
can't be broken by anyone else because it's YOUR dog not theirs.
(unless by your immediate family who also have access to your dog).
Or you could beat your
neighbour to his record breaking attempt by pointing at his dog
first. It may be a short lived record (but still a record at the
time) because once he gets wind of your devilish plan he may call
the dog in and spend the rest of his day pointing at it to gazump
you.
(*substitute
dog for cat or goldfish or ferret etc)
What
type of record should I try ?
The keyword
here is 'creativity' because many of the usual ones have been done
already. And anyway, who wants to be the fasted runner or strongest
man - the competition is too fierce.
Some of Gerald Wacky's World Records include :
1. Carrying a
grain of sand in his pocket for 2 days 4 hours and 23 minutes
2.
Fastest porky scratching eater without sipping water between
scratchings
3. Longest time to read a newspaper (bought in 1994
and he still hasn't read all the sports section yet)
.......
plus over 4,000 other records
Just
think of something, anything .... do it .... award yourself a
certificate .... wear your medal with pride .... and remember to
send us some photos to put on the site. Simple.
What
type of record should I avoid trying ?
BE
SENSIBLE - AND DON'T TRY ANYTHING DANGEROUS. Use your common sense
and don't even try to do anything that's going to cause you or
anyone else harm. This site is all about fun and there are thousands
of wacky records out there to try that are perfectly safe. i.e.
Being World Champion cushion plumper upper with a medal and
certificate to prove it is a good talking point.

| GOLD
MEDAL & CERTIFIED CERTIFICATE OF CERTIFICATION: |
Is
the medal made of gold ?
The short answer
to that is NO I'm afraid - unless they've started making paper out
of gold that is. We did consider awarding real 24 carat
gold medals
but the estimate we received for their production was a little too
prohibitive for our finances. Plus, using paper is the more
eco-friendly alternative.
Is
the certificate made of paper ?
On our
server the certificate
is actually made of pixels, and through the miracles of modern
technology it get's transformed into paper when you print it out.
Can
I hang my certificate on the wall ?
That's
our objective - display it with pride. Though we have become aware
of people actually screwing them up and throwing them in the bin -
remember a certificate is for life not just for Christmas. Teams of
volunteers are scouring rubbish dumps as we speak in an attempt to
rescue these unwanted certificates and once we find one we will
attempt to iron out all wrinkles and re-house it on someone else's
wall.

| SUBMITTING
YOUR RECORD TO WACKY RECORDS: |
I've
set a record, what do I do now ?
Hopefully
you have a photo of it - so submit it to us together with the
details and it will be up on our site faster than you can say
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. If you have a video you can
upload that to youtube and link to it too.
I
submitted my record but I'm not famous yet ?
Have
you informed all the relevant authorities - held press conferences,
sent untold letters to newspapers, television and radio stations,
posted it on the net, etc ?
You've done all that, but still not found worldwide fame ....
hmmmmmmmm ...... that's a tough one - not sure what the answer to
that one is.
