It Is Just So Stupid

I think I have found the stupidest record ever allowed in the Guinness Book of Records. I have made it know in no uncertain terms that I think most records attempted by people are frivolous and harmful not only to themselves but the civilization we are all trying to establish out here. I hate the big food records the most but today I saw this picture and we have a new contender for most idiotic use of one's time to get into the record book.

First of all you are not really 'WEARING' the party hat in the manner it was intended to be worn - ON YOUR HEAD! Secondly, you have practically achieved the easiest record ever. Some kid in India could beat that number tomorrow and then his buddy can break that record by adding just one more hat.

It's not even a TIMED event. You just could stand there and have a helper add the hats until you were the new record holder. What was the previous record? Why is this even considered?

Aren't you embarrassed to tell people that it's you in the book? As records go, your's is pretty lame.

This is not EFFORT. This is not like birthing a dozen babies at one time or climbing a mountain faster than anyone else. The only difficulty you would encounter with the party hat record would be the breaking of the elastic that keeps them on your body.

This leads me to another question - after you got the record, did you have any party hats left in the bag to beat that record? Was the size of the hats ever in concideration? The smaller the hat, the more you could put on your body.

Looks to me like you have some room left on your body to add a few extra hats. Was achieving your record number that taxing on your system that even ONE MORE HAT would have led to your death?
