Students obviously need books, and my college has it's own bookshop. Some of you might know that I've been managing this bookshop this year, with a team of 9 staff (everyone has a duty to do at college in order to keep fees down and to encourage people to serve). My duty is not the easiest to do, but I was warmly encouraged today when my team bought me a present to say thank you.

Here it is. The
Guinness World Records 2006. Lots of very interesting (and weird!) facts in there. Some that I found were (yes, I was procrastinating from my studies):
- Strangest Diet: Michael Lotito has eaten 9 tonnes of metal over 38 years (but bananas and hard-boiled eggs make him sick!)
- Most people wearing balloon hats: 1,039 in Singapore on 13th March 2004
- Longest kiss: 30hr 59min 27sec (ewww...!)
- Most dominoes toppled by a group: 3,992,397 by 81 people on Domino Day 2004 in the Netherlands
- Most expensive ice-cream sundae: The Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae in New York City, costing US$1,000
- Largest mobile phone: The Maxi Handy Mobile, measuring 2.05 x 0.83 x 0.45m
- Largest permanent cinema Screen: the IMAX!!
Anyways, that's enough time wasted. Back to my studies...
Give thanks for the encouragement from my bookshop friends at college.
