Why
was Ridiculous Records set up?
To
hold a World Record is a very special thing. We wanted to give everyone
the chance to be a
record
holder by setting challenges that almost anyone can attempt (all right,
some of them are
a
bit dodgy). You don't have to be super fit, super strong or super
intelligent (in fact, the dumber
the
better) to set or break these records, but you probably will need a sense
of humour.
What
will I get out of it?
A
sense of achievement, possibly a lot of fun, probably some form of illness
or injury.
In
addition you will receive a certificate (with the exception of the 'mass
participation' records) and an entry into this catalogue for as long as
you remain in the top three of your chosen discipline.
Who
else can benefit?
We
strongly recommend that record attempts are made in order to raise funds
for good causes.
You
wouldn't want all that effort to be wasted now, would you?
Who
constructed the list?
The
Keeper of the Records compiled the list over a period of some minutes.
The list is a compilation
of
things observed from everyday life, along with a sprinkle of adapted college
type stunts. Mainly,
however,
the challenges have come from the twisted mind of the Keeper himself. He
will have been
seen
sitting in a corner somewhere, giggling to himself, scribbling furiously
on scraps of paper.
Those scraps of paper have now been turned into these pages.
This
is not the end of the list, however. The Keeper will consider any suggestions
for additions to the catalogue.
If
deemed suitable, the record will be displayed along with an acknowledgement
of its' proposer.
What
will it cost me?
Nothing
- Nada - Zip.
What
about safety - are you responsible in any way?
Forget it!
We
cannot be held responsible for your actions in any way and the mere fact
that
you
are browsing this site tells us it's probably the case that you can't either.
Seriously
though, anyone wishing to make an attempt on an existing record, or indeed
set a new one,
must
be aware of their own limits and take all necessary steps to avoid injury
to themselves and others.
GoCo
Catalogue of Ridiculous Records cannot take any responsibility for accidents,
illness
or damage to property which may arise during, or as a result of any record
attempt.
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
What
do I do next?
If
you feel you want to set a record, attempt to break an existing record,
propose a
new
record for the catalogue or ask any other questions, contact
us immediately.
