I could NOT sleep last night. No reason why. Just couldn't fall asleep. This never happens to me. I always fall asleep right away.
But after like 6 hours, I started wondering what the world record is for consecutive hours spent without sleeping (and I could only find a record for consecutive hours spent on the air of a radio station -- I think the record stands at 103 hours, 22 minutes).
At hour 7, I thought of this poll.
If you could break any record (formal or informal) in the world, which one would you break?
I'd like to break the "Most money earned in one day" record, which would be immediately followed by an attempt at the "Most consecutive days in a threesome with two hot models" record.
Here are some suggestions, if you can't come up with your own:
[Most clothespins clipped to face -- 133]
Most Cockroaches Eaten

Most Items Regurgitated
In November 1998, on the set of Guinness World Records: Primetime, Stevie Starr of Glasgow, Scotland, earned the moniker The Human Regurgitator when he swallowed then regurgitated a billiard ball, a bumble bee, and a black and white goldfish, which he brought up in an order specified by an audience member. He then swallowed a ring, a padlock and a key, and brought up the ring locked inside the padlock!

Most Scorpions Eaten
The most live scorpions eaten by a human being is approximately 35,000. Each day, the field worker, Rene Alvarenga (a.k.a. el comealacrances - “scorpion eater”), from Intipuka, El Salvador, catches 20-30 of the creatures and eats them.

Strangest Diet
Michel Lotito (aka Henri Mangetout) from Grenoble, France, has been eating metal and glass since 1959. Gastroenterologists have described his ability to consume 900 g (2 lb) of metal per day as "unique". Mangetout - Michel's nickname - literally translates as "eats everything".

Without the use of a calculator or computer he worked out the square root of 732,915 as 856.1045496.
