How will this idea be judged? The idea must be something I'm willing to do. Note, I'm very lazy and I don't have many talents. So asking me to juggle 8 chainsaws for three continuous weeks would be out of the question since I would probably die instantaneously. If I didn't cut off my head with a chainsaw, I would probably get hungry about two hours in to it and decide to quit anyway.

But because I'm lazy, if you have some connection to the Guinness Book of World Records and can somehow get my name in the credits for no reason that's a winner by my standards. At least it'd make a good story even if I didn't do anything world record worthy.

I like the idea of M&M mosaic of the Mob Incentive logo.

$100 if the M&M mosaic is of the Mob Incentive logo.

M&M mosaic. How hard could it be? Only 5041 M&M's required to outdo the current record.

Haha...I was like, "what the heck is a duvet?" And I pronounced it like "dove-it". Yeah, I'm more likely to find a frying pan or chopsticks in my place than a duvet. =)

I think you should try to do the "fastest duvet dressing" one. I feel like I can accomplish that task in under a minute. Then again, I might be completely wrong... don't exactly time myself doing these things...

jayjay -- Thanks, I like that link. I think I'm going to see if I can spin a frying pan on my finger later tonight. If it doesn't go well, you can expect to see me post an idea asking for help on healing a broken foot. Wish me luck!

I think I ate two pulled pork sandwiches (and a piece of chicken) in an hour and I was pretty stuffed.

My no sleep record is something like 70 hours and my body was very unhappy after that. Even my finger tips hurt.

I think this is going to be hard...

This would be another fun one for the Capitol Hill BBQ. I like all the ones with chopsticks. You seem pretty good with chopsticks. NO! Not just because you're asian.

You should look at http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/2007/trythisathome.aspx

Guinness lists ideas for records that use easily available items.

I also thought about a 'not sleeping' record since the current record is only 11 days (http://sleepzine.com/sleep-news/randy-gardner-hold-the-world-record-for-not-sleeping-for-264-hours. But since your alias is 'naptime96', I'm assuming you won't want to stay awake that long...

I was thinking of some kind of eating record, but I found http://www.ifoce.com/records.php and it looks really tough! 23 pulled pork sandwiches in 10 minutes - yikes!

It has to be something with food, right? Or shoulders? What else are you famous for?
