3 World Records You Can Beat Without Getting Out of Your Chair

September 13, 2011 Posted by Emily Miethner

Here at RecordSetter we encourage everyone to get involved in setting world records. We also understand that you are a busy individual. That being said, each week we’re going to bring you three world records you can beat while sitting at your desk; right here, right now. No excuses, play like a champion.

Longest Time Smiling

Having a blue day? Try this record for an instant mood booster. It’s a brand-new category, first set at four minutes, 6.15 seconds on September 8 by Peter Craig of Adelaide, South Australia, then broken the next day by Scott Woodson of Rochester, New York. Woodson is a habitual over-smiler, as he says in his video: “I smile all the time. I smile for breakfast, I smile for lunch and I smile for dinner. Once I even smiled for dessert.”

Longest Tongue Curl

Another new category in the genre of mouth endurance is this accomplishment by Allie Ray of Queen Creek, Arizona. After warming up with a bit of talking and gum chewing, you’ll just need to keep your tongue rolled for eight minutes to claim the record.

Long Lasting Record #63: Most Pens Held With Crook Of Elbow At Once

Got a bunch of pens just sitting around, unused and sad in the wake of technology? Pick them up and give them a hug in the crook of your elbow and you could score $500. If you beat the current record, held by Jeff McHenry of Katy, Texas, and still hold it on the October 12 deadline, you’ll get the money.

This record is but one of the 100 being set and broken in our Stride Long Lasting Record challenge.
