    • Most Scarecrows in one Location Guinness World Record

      This small northeastern Georgia town's population boom is frightening. In a bid to break a world record for scarecrows and scare up some fun for the fall season, thousands of straw-stuffed newcomers are creeping across town.

      There's a scuba diver, the Georgia Bulldogs football team and — of course — the cast of the Wizard of Oz. Even likenesses of Jesus and Elvis popped up.

    • Its official: Phelps wins 8th gold in Beijing!

      BEIJING (Reuters) - Michael Phelps took a record-breaking eighth gold at one Games on Sunday in Beijing to beat fellow American swimmer Mark Spitz’s seven from Munich 1972.

      Phelps hugged his team mates in celebration after a comfortable men’s 4x100 meters medley relay win contrasting with the finger-tip, split-second finishes that came in two of his earlier Beijing golds.

      His 14 golds, which include six in Athens, make him the most successful Olympian of the modern era by a big margin of five.

      With Games spectators still agog at Usain Bolt’s audaciously brilliant 100m win in the blue riband athletics race on Saturday night, the first gold of Day Nine went to Romania.

      Constantina Tomescu had time to relax and wave at the crowd before crossing the finish line in the Bird’s Nest stadium after a marathon run that began in Tiananmen Square.

      Catherine Ndereba of Kenya took silver and Zhou Chunxiu of China the bronze, with Britain’s world record holder Paula Radcliffe struggling for fitness and well back.

      In the highest-profile doping case yet of the August 8-24 Games, Greece’s defending women’s 400 meters hurdles champion Fani Halkia failed a drug test hours before she was to compete.

      That recalled the doping sagas that darkened Athens 2004.

      But it has been the scintillating sport, not scandals, in Beijing dominating attention and relegating the pre-Games focus on China’s rights record and pollution problems.

      Having passed Spitz’s seven golds of 36 years ago, the 23-year-old Phelps now stands alone in the record books.

      Blessed with an arm span bigger than his height, Phelps has pumped himself up with hip-hop before races and always looks for his mother in the stands at moments of triumph.

      He is guaranteed a lifetime of multi-million corporate deals.

      But Phelps has failed to match Spitz in one aspect. His 100m butterfly gold on Saturday was not in a world record time, unlike his other seven wins in Beijing.

      All seven of Spitz’s medals came in world record times.

    • Olympic Ring Logo world record set by Bikini Clad Ladies

      A bikini battalion of 1,202 ladies gathered Sunday at the Changlong Water Amusement Park in Guangzhou to form the Olympic rings logo and broke a Guinness world record — not for the largest Olympics logo ever formed with human bodies, but for the largest swimsuit photo shoot ever (previous record was set last year at Bondi Beach by 1,010 ladies). Yet another utterly useless record, you might say, but these girls sure look like they're having a blast.

    • World Oldest Tree Guiness World Record

      Scientists from Umeaa University discovered the spruce on Fulu Mountain in Dalarna province while carrying out a census of tree species there in 2004.

      The age of its genetic material was recently calculated using carbon dating at a laboratory in Miami, Florida.

      Scientists had believed the world's oldest trees were 4,000-year-old pine trees found in North America.

      The oldest, a bristlecone pine named Methuselah located in California's White Mountains, is aged 4,768, according to the Guinness Book of World Record.

      Cloning

      The new record contender, which would have taken root just after the last ice age, was found among a cluster of around 20 spruces believed to be more than 8,000 years old at an altitude of 910m (2,985ft) on Fulu Mountain. Tell us why this is interesting
