Good Friends, Good Fun
Read the last thing I wrote first, or this is gonna make you say, "What the hell is this? I should have read the first thing he wrote first. Oh wait, he told me that. I'm an idiot."
All right, I just spent the last 45 minutes looking to see what the world record was for the longest tin can telephone ever. I looked at the official Guinness World Record Website, and, try as I might, I couldn’t find it, so, I figured, what the hell, I’ll send them an E-mail. To send an E-mail to the Guinness brass, you must register a world record attempt. So, I said to them, Ankit Disa and Kevin Copp are attempting the world’s longest telephone made of tin cans and string at .32 miles (Yes, it’s true that the actual telephone won’t be nearly that long, but I’m just trying to see what the current record is.) So, I signed up for the service, and sent them my query. Here’s my response:
Thank you for registering your record attempt with Guinness World Records.
One of our representatives will contact you within the next 4-6 weeks with a decision on your record request.
If your suggested record is approved, we will get back to you with rules and regulations so that you may attempt your proposed record. If you have already attempted a record, and we are interested in your submission, we may ask for the documentation needed to verify the record.
Should your record proposal/attempt be unsuccessful, we will send you a detailed reason outlining our decision.
So, there you go, within 4-6 weeks, we’ll know where we stand on this whole situation, and we can make our telephone. It’s gonna be a great year.
