[Pyrate Jim]

The Guinness Book of World Records has given a title to Tom Cruise.
The title?
"Most number of skydives with a burning parachute by an individual"

Tom Cruise Awarded World Record for Burning Parachute Stunt | Watch

I have to ask, was this an already existing category? Have there been others who qualified?
Or did they just create a new title?
I can imagine tiktok influencers trying to beat the record while filming themselves just to get views. 🙄

I call that natural selection

Maybe they need to add worlds largest automag collection...think some folks on here might be in the running.

Well, they'll just have to rephrase it to "World's largest fully assembled Automag Collection" and that would immediately disqualify several members here - including myself.

All you need to get in that book is any stupid record and a check. Just call them up, send pictures of your Mag collection, pay them thousands of dollars, and you’re in. It has become very common for people to set the most idiotic record imaginable just to avoid the likelihood of anyone bothering to contest it.

In Cruise’s case you’d think he wouldn’t care enough to initiate the process, having so many real world accomplishments, but he is after all basically an empty headed celebrity obsessed with thrills so maybe he is that lame.

Quality over quantity, until the quantity matches the quality...

You could have both worlds largest assembled collection or hell why not have an unassembled too.. with only 4 im a bit shy but there are some folks here that are inspirational when it comes to anodized hordes of greatness. I'm sure it would lead to an auto cocker collection with the winners from each type constantly adding one more to say they are better then the other
