The URDB


the Universal Record Database
the definitive site for human achievement

URDB is an evolution of a Burning Man theme camp created in the summer of 2004

from their about-section:
"What world record are you capable of setting? We believe every person on earth has potential to be the world's best 'something'. URDB's mission is to become the database where all such achievements will live.
...
The general guidlines are simple: every record in the database must be
a) quantifiable, b) breakable and c) legal. If you want to set a record for, say, 'Fastest Time Eating a Banana While Standing On The Great Wall of China and Wearing A Purple T-Shirt', go for it. Creativity is highly encouraged.
"

including videos and photos of stuff like:

- Most Pairs Of Underwear Worn On Head At Once (16 pairs) link
- Furthest Distance To Throw A Vinyl Record (
81 feet, 11 1/2 inches) link
- Most Air Guitar Windmills In 30 Seconds (79) link
- Highest Tap Dance (5364 meters) link
- Most Peanuts Smashed With Forehead In 15 Seconds (26) link
- Longest Distance To Shoot A Rubber Band Using Feet (216 inches) link
- Most Armpit Farts In 30 Seconds (105) link

and so on...

got the drift?

feeling challenged?
go for it!

good night and good luck!
