Shogi Japanese chess games World Records

More than 3,000 children set a world record for simultaneous "shogi" Japanese chess games played in one location during an event at Tokyo Big Sight convention hall on Sunday.

The 1,574 games played by 3,148 children of elementary school age or younger was recognized as a world record by Guinness World Records, organizers said.

"I am excited to see so many children playing shogi. I would not have imagined such a large number of shogi players in my childhood," Japan Shogi Association executive Koji Tanigawa said as he received the certificate from Guinness World Records.

"There won't be another event like this in Tokyo," he said.

Golconda diamond - Most Expensive Diamonds sold at auction in Geneva

Golconda diamond - Most Expensive Diamonds sold at auction in Geneva

The flawless 'Archduke Joseph" diamond, from India's famous Golconda mines, broke several world records when it was sold at auction in Geneva late Tuesday for $21.47 million (16.9 million euros).

The price which the 76 carat jewel fetched at the Christie's sale is a record for the auction of a clear, colourless diamond. It is also the highest auction price per carat for such a gem and the record for a Golconda diamond, the same mines which produced the Koh-i-Noor which adorns the British Queen's crown.

"It's a cushion-shaped diamond, weighing 76.02 carats, of D colour" the purest, most colourless variety of diamond, a rarity and a speciality of the ancient Golconda mines in the Indian state of Andhra Paradesh, said Christie's jewelery expert Jean-Marc Lunel.

The 'Archduke |Joseph,' which was bought by an anonymous bidder, once belonged to the Habsburgs, former rulers of the Austrian empire. It takes its name from the Archduke Joseph (1872-1962) who was for a short period the Hungarian head of state.

The diamond was sold in 1936 to a still-anonymous buyer and, hidden in a safe, escaped the attentions of the Nazis during the Second World War. It reappeared on the international scene at a sale in London in 1961.

In the 1990s it was sold again, in Geneva, for $6.5 million.

World's largest sneaker collection

World's largest sneaker collection set world record by Las Vegas

The record keepers at Guinness certified this month that Jordan Michael Geller's Shoezeum, a shrine to Nike that he says includes one of every model of Air Jordans ever made, holds the record with more than 2,500 pairs, all but eight of which are Nikes.

For a $10 ticket, visitors can see Nikes designed to evoke "birds, bees, flowers and trees," others based on the Simpsons, the Hulk, the Human Torch and even Sesame Street's Oscar the Grouch, and two pairs of yellow lobster Nikes. Only three dozen of those were made, according to Geller.

Geller, 35, said it wasn't until he finished law and business school degrees at the University of San Diego that he began transforming a childhood fascination with Nike sneakers into a life project.

Starting with $300 and more than a dozen credit cards, Geller began a five-year buying and selling spree, hunting down remainders and sales at Nike stores and offering the sneakers on eBay. Along the way, he got hold of some rare Nikes online.

Less than a dozen pairs of the shoes at the museum have been worn - but those include a pair that Michael Jordan laced on as a rookie for the Chicago Bulls. The most expensive? A pair made by Converse commemorating the 30th anniversary of Jordan's 1982 game-winning shot for the University of North Carolina in the NCAA finals. They cost $7,100.

Geller began showing his collection out of a San Diego warehouse last year before he decided to hit the road to Las Vegas. Along the way, he felt guided by destiny - including his name, which he said his parents gave him without thinking of Michael Jordan the player.

Geordie Pantsman World Record for wearing 211 pairs of underpants at the same time

Geordie Pantsman World Record for wearing 211 pairs of underpants at the same time.

 The 53-year-old, from Whitburn, South Tyneside, pulled on 302 pairs of slacks to grab back his title and set a new Guinness World Record. ‘I think I’m the first person to hold the record twice, probably because no one else is daft enough to do it twice,’ he said after his latest triumph. Mr Craig, dubbed Geordie Pantsman, shot to fame in 2010 when he pulled on a record-breaking 211 pairs of underpants, later auditioning for TV show Britain's Got Talent. However he lost the record earlier this year to Janine Keblish of the US after she squeezed on a whopping 252 pairs.

On Sunday the determined dad-of-three reclaimed his record and is awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records. 'It went very, very well and the official number is 302,' explained the architect. 'I wanted to be the first person to put on over 300 pairs and I did it. 'Putting on all those pants is harder than it looks because you're carrying an incredible weight, but the crowd really spurred me on and kept me going.

'There must have been about 1,000 people in that tent and they were all cheering me on.' He added: 'My wife Jacqueline helps me out with this one by getting all the pants ready and helping me get them on, but she doesn't like the limelight as much as I do. 'I think this is it now though, I'm not going to go and attempt any more world records.

World’s youngest skydiver - Krish Shanghvi

World’s youngest skydiver - Krish Shanghvi

Krish Shanghvi, the eight-year old from Mumbai recently became the youngest skydiver on the planet, when he jumped off a plane from an altitude of 10,000 feet in Mozzel Bay, South Africa.

The act involved a thrilling 45-second free fall at 200 kilometers per hour, before the parachute unfurled.

Shanghvi achieved the dive in tandem with trainer Mr. Henk Van Wky.

His elder brother, Parth, holds the record of becoming the youngest scuba diver in the world. Parth achieved the feat in February 2010 in Goa.

Speaking to mediapersons, Shanghvi’s father, Mehul Upendra Shanghvi, said that Krish was inspired by Parth’s achievements.

“Getting inspired by his brother’s feat, young Krish, who was only six years then, wanted to break some record,” he said.

“We thought of skydiving, but in India the minimum age for skydiving is 16. So, we contacted some skydiving centers in Slovenia, where there is no age restriction for skydiving. But Krish was too small to fit in the Harness then” he added.

The standard three student from SVKM International School in Vile Parle has been awarded a certificate by Unique World Records, and the family has also applied to Limca Book of Records to have his name included.

Previously, the youngest skydiver in the world was Romanian girl Valentina Mihanciu, who performed the feat at the age of nine.

The record of being the youngest skydiver in India was held by Kolkata’s Anaina Malik who had achieved the feat at the age of 13, jumping in Mauritius.

US athlete Aries Merritt sets world record in 110-m hurdles

U.S. athlete Aries Merritt sets world record in 110-m hurdles at Brussels' King Baudouin Stadium on Friday.

Aries Merritt already had the Olympic gold, so there was only one way to make this season even more special.

And in his last near-perfect 100-meter hurdles race of the year, the American put in a world record-breaking performance that had even himself shaking his head in disbelief.

Merritt finished in 12.80 seconds at the Van Damme Memorial, slicing a full 0.07 seconds off the four-year-old world record held by Cuba’s Dayron Robles.

In an event where records are usually broken by one or two hundredths of a second at a time, Merritt was as stunned as the crowd when his time came up.

“It was ‘What? What? What is this I am seeing?” he said. “I just started screaming because I was in complete shock because I could not believe I could run that fast.”

It was by far the marquee moment of the final Diamond League meet of the season, totally upstaging Usain Bolt’s routine 100-meter victory in 9.86.

Merritt shot out of the blocks and didn’t touch any of the 10 hurdles he swept over. Sensing the moment had come, he lunged at the line with both arms flung backward and chest outward.

The American already had the six top times of the season and had come within 0.05 seconds of Robles’ mark. But in balmy conditions with a slight tail wind, he finally shattered the record.

“It was almost perfect,” Merritt said. “I knew the track was going to be scorching.”

So was he.

Merritt dominated this entire season while stars like Liu Xiang and Robles struggled to keep up and then both pulled up injured at the London Olympics.

“I knew one day (I’d break the record), I didn’t know when,” he said. “It was kind of getting frustrating, because I kept running the same time over and over.”

Time to change it to 1280.

“I was in shock when I saw the time pop up on the scoreboard,” he said.

It was the biggest improvement of the record in 31 years.

Jason Richardson took second place, way behind in a time of 13.05.

Bolt, for once, was almost an afterthought. The triple Olympic champion ran a controlled race after a slow start to win the 100 in 9.86 seconds and win the diamond trophy for the top competitor of the season.

“I want to take it easy now,” Bolt said.

Fellow Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake followed it up with a blistering 200, blasting out fast from the gun before finishing in 19.54 seconds, unchallenged by anyone.

California's,Death Valley - World's hottest temperature ever on Earth

California's, Death Valley - World's hottest temperature ever on Earth

California's famed Death Valley now holds the world record for the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

One of weather's most iconic and hallowed statistics, the Earth's all-time warmest temperature -- supposedly set 90 years ago today at a remote spot in the Libyan desert -- has been deemed invalid: New analysis of past weather data found that record of 136 degrees to be incorrect.

The new record, which was formerly No. 2 on the all-time list: the beastly 134-degree reading measured on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, Calif.

"This is as symbolic a mark for meteorologists as Mount Everest is for geographers," said Christopher Burt, a weather historian with the Weather Underground, a private meteorology company.

The Libyan record from 1922 was determined to be invalid because of the combination of a poor weather instrument, a location in a bad spot for accurate readings and an inexperienced record-keeper.

Based on these findings, an international team of climate experts from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) invalidated the 136-degree reading measured at El Azizia, Libya, on Sept. 13, 1922.

The team included 13 atmospheric scientists from nine countries.

One of the team members -- Khalid Ibrahim El Fadli, director of the climate department at the Libyan National Meteorological Center -- literally had to dodge bullets and protect his family during the nation's revolution last year while undertaking the research. One of his discoveries, amazingly, was the original 1922 log sheet used to take the measurements, which showed some discrepancies.

"This investigation demonstrates that, because of continued improvements in meteorology and climatology, climate experts can now re-analyze past weather records in much more detail than ever before," said Randy Cerveny, a member of the WMO and professor of geography at Arizona State University.

The results are being published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

Death Valley has a hellish climate almost unlike any other spot on the planet: "With an average daily high of 115 degrees and a low of 87 during the month of July, Death Valley is far and away the hottest location in North America and perhaps the hottest place in the world," Burt writes in his book Extreme Weather.

The desert location, about 200 miles northeast of Los Angeles and about 100 miles west of Las Vegas, averages only about 2 inches of rain each year, according to the National Park Service. Once, during a 40-month period in 1931-34, it received just over a half inch of rain, in total.

To prove it works, they flew over their farm in a helicopter and held a phone out the window.

The family has grown corn mazes for the past 13 years and the public can pay a fee and try to find their way through the puzzles.

"We were pretty excited when it worked," said Rachel Kraay about the first time they tested the QR code from the helicopter.

"We actually have a video of us doing it because [Guinness] wanted lots of documentation to make sure it actually happened."

The family's previous mazes have included maps of Alberta, Canada, and team logos for the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames.

Scotland - World's oldest message in a bottle

World's oldest message in a bottle

Scotland -- A 97-year-old message in a bottle found by Scottish fishermen in their catch has set the world record for spending the longest time at sea.

Guinness World Records confirmed the April 12 discovery by the Shetland Islands fishing boat, the Scottish government in Edinburgh said Thursday.

                                               World's oldest message in a bottle picture

"It was just a normal day and we were out fishing for monkfish," Andrew Leaper, 43, who skippered the boat, Copious, said in the government's prepared statement. "As we hauled in the nets, with a mixed catch of monks, megrim and cod, I spotted the bottle neck sticking out of the cod end of the net. I quickly grabbed the bottle before it fell back in the sea."

The bottle was released on June 10, 1914, by the Glasgow School of Navigation, one of a batch of 1,890 scientific research bottles designed to float close to the seabed. The location of the returned bottles allowed researchers to map the undercurrents of the seas around Scotland.

So far, 315 bottles have been found, each containing a note asking the finder to record the date and place of the discovery and return it for a reward of sixpence.

Most witches in one place - Witch World Record

Most witches in one place - Witch world record

More than 1000 witches are expected to turn out to try and break an official world record for the most witches in one place.

It's all part of the 400th anniversary of the Pendle Witch Trials which began on August 18th.

Organisers are also hoping to raise in excess of £50,000 for Pendleside Hospice.

The walkers will set off at 11:15 and head for the summit of Pendle Hill, which for generations have been symbolic of witchcraft as well as being a site of reverence for Pagans and Quakers.

Simon Tattersall, one of the organisers of the event, said: “It’s great news that Pendle Witch Walk has been recognised by Guinness World Records as a World Record attempt.

“We’re hoping for a great event and a truly memorable day. The world record attempt for the greatest gathering of “witches” will give everybody’s efforts an undisputable measure of achievement. It will bring huge attention to the Burnley and Pendle area and our tumultuous history, but more to the point we hope that via their sponsors, walkers will raise in excess of £50,000 for Pendleside Hospice.”

Largest ever keyboard ensemble in the world - 136 keyboards play in unison

Largest ever keyboard ensemble in the world  - 136 keyboards play in unison

The youngest is only six and the oldest, 17 , but these children have already won worldwide recognition.

They are on a team of 136 young keyboard artistes of the School of Music, Thrissur which recently won a place both in Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records for a performance by the largest ever keyboard ensemble in the world.

The event, held at the Trichur Tennis Trust on November 20, 2011, was conceptualised by the School’s managing director, Raju K.K.

The idea for the world record attempt came about during discussions with parents and students about ways to increase participation in musical events.

“At first, the attempt at the record was a joke but then we decided to go about it seriously,” explains Mr Raju, who spent over six months teaching his students a medley of songs from around the world to attempt it.

The pieces of music played on the occasion included the 2010 football World Cup theme song ‘Waka waka’ and evergreen numbers from the Bollywood hit ‘Sholay.’

As Limca required the band to play before its panel of judges as well as the public, the challenge was even greater “We were more concerned about getting an opportunity to share our music with people from around the world, than even beating the earlier record of 107 keyboards held by an American team,” Mr Raju adds.

Vertical skydiving world record - Skydivers break World Record in USA

Vertical skydiving world record - Skydivers break World Record in USA

Falling at speeds of up to 354 kph, a group of nearly 140 skydivers shattered the vertical skydiving world record as they flew heads-down in a massive snowflake formation in northern Illinois.

Three judges representing the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the international air sports agency, certified that 138 skydivers created the formation Friday evening over Ottawa, about 129 kilometres southwest of Chicago. It took 15 attempts over three days for the team to break the previous record of 108 skydivers, which was set in 2009.

                                            Vertical skydiving world record picture

"I feel amazing," Rook Nelson, an organizer and the owner of Skydive Chicago where the record was broken, said shortly after he made the jump. "There was a lot of emotion and a lot of days where we should have got it. But we dug down deep and stuck at it."

Following months of planning, tryouts and camps to decide who could take part in the dangerous challenge, the record breakers squeezed into six aircraft and launched themselves into the air at 5,639 metres. Flying at such a high altitude presents a risk of altitude sickness, so the skydivers and pilots used oxygen tanks aboard the planes.

Four camera operators shooting video and stills jumped with the 138 participants to record their achievement for the FAI judges. Those images are key, said co-organizer Mike Swanson, a professional skydiver who base jumped from Willis Tower and its fellow Chicago skyscraper Trump Tower for the movie "Transformers 3."

If no one records the 46-metre-wide formation showing all the jumpers in their pre-assigned slots, "then it wasn't really done," Swanson said.

The challenge for the record began Wednesday, midway through a 10-day skydiving festival. After each attempt, the organizers reviewed the videos and decided who should stay and who should be swapped out for one of the dozens of hopefuls who didn't make the initial cut.

"It's a hard job coming in from the bench," said Erica Tadokoro, from Brisbane, Australia. "You have to be positive because it's a team effort."

Tadokoro, 43, was one of just 13 women selected in the first string. She was cut after the 14th unsuccessful attempt — one shy of the record jump.

Nelson explained that vertical flying is "basically doing a headstand" in the air. The lack of wind resistance speeds the skydivers' fall rate to an average of 273 to 290 kph. Ahead of the record attempt, he said some of those involved would need to reach much higher speeds. And that increased the risks.

If they're not paying attention when diving into the formation at upwards of 354 kph, "it's going to be like someone running a red light and you taking them out," Nelson said.

Each skydiver knew exactly when to exit the aircraft, whom to follow and where in the formation they should be. At 2,134 metres, the skydivers began to peel away on a last-in, first-out basis, and each wave deployed their parachutes at altitudes specified according to their positions in the formation.

London Olympics Swimming World Record 2012 - Dana Vollmer sets world record in 100m butterfly

London Olympics Swimming World Record 2012 - US swimmer Dana Vollmer sets world record in 100m butterfly

Dana Vollmer won a gold medal at the Olympics and set a world record, too.

Not bad for someone who didn’t even qualify four years ago.

On a night featuring a relay duel between the Australians and the Americans, Vollmer got things started with a bang Sunday in the 100-meter butterfly. She was third at the turn but powered to the wall for a time of 55.98 seconds, beating the record of 56.06 set by Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom in a since-banned high-tech bodysuit at the 2009 world championships.

The American dropped back her head when saw the time, then broke into a huge smile, slapped the water and pumped her fists.

‘‘I'm on top of the world right now.’’ she said. ‘‘I still know I can go faster.’’

Vollmer, who made the Olympics as a 16-year-old in 2004, was a huge disappointment when she failed to make the team in Beijing in 2008. She was slowed by injuries and health problems, making her question whether she even wanted to continue swimming.

                                          US swimmer Dana Vollmer gold medal winner picture

But her injuries healed and a change in diet gave her a new outlook. She came close to breaking Sjostrom’s record at the U.S. Olympic trials last month, and set an Olympic record in the semifinals to come in as the top qualifier.

Now she’s an Olympic champion.

‘‘I kept telling myself that my strength is my second 50,’’ Vollmer said. ‘‘I kept really calm.’’

Lu Ying gave China another medal at the Olympic Aquatics Centre, taking silver in 56.87. Australia’s Alicia Coutts grabbed the bronze in 56.94.

‘‘It’s not bad,’’ Lu said. ‘‘It’s the result, more or less, I hoped for.’’

It was a tough night for Sjostrom. Not only did she lose her world record, she didn’t even get a medal, touching fourth in 57.17.

Vollmer was the second swimmer to set a world record at the London Games, and only the fourth to break a mark set during the rubberized suit era. Those suits were banned after an astonishing 43 world records were set at the 2009 world championships.

The big race on the second night of swimming was the men’s 400 freestyle relay, which figured to be a duel between defending world champion Australia and the United States, which won the Olympic title four years ago.

The Americans sent out their big guns, going with Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte in hopes of knocking off a favored Aussies team that included James ‘‘The Missile’’ Magnussen and James ‘‘The Rocket’’ Roberts. Nathan Adrian and Cullen Jones also were swimming for the U.S., which changed up its entire lineup after qualifying second in the morning preliminaries.

The Aussies posted the fastest qualifying time with a quartet that included Magnussen and Roberts. They changed up the other two spots, going with Matt Targett and Eamon Sullivan.

London Olympics World Record 2012 - Legally blind archer sets world record

London Olympics World Record 2012 - Legally blind archer sets world record

Legally blind archer Im Dong-Hyun set the first world record of the London Olympics on Friday and then added another as South Korea broke the team record.

In the men's preliminary round, held at the Lord's cricket ground, Im scored 699 points from 72 arrows to beat his own record of 696 set in May this year.

Along with Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin-Hyek he also helped register a 216-arrow total of 2,087 -- smashing the world record also set in Turkey in May by 18 points.

The 26-year-old Im from Chungbuk is legally blind in his left eye with 20/200 vision. That means he needs to be 10 times closer to see an object than someone with perfect 20/20 vision. His right eye has 20/100 vision.

He won team gold at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics to add to his four world titles and four Asian Games gold medals.

Despite his records, Im wasn't getting carried away, preferring to concentrate on the push for a gold medal when the competition resumes on Saturday.

"This is just the first round so I will not get too excited by it," he said.

South Korea coach Jang Young-Sool also warned his team against complacency ahead of the medals clash.

"We will have a day of rest now and prepare for tomorrow," said Jang.

Jang's fellow coach Oh Seon-Tek praised the performance of Kim Bubmin who had struggled in practice, but rasied his game on Friday.

Most expensive Dog wedding set World Record

Most expensive Dog wedding set World Record

Blushing dog bride Baby Hope Diamond takes a nap before her wedding to Chilly Pasternak in New York City on Thursday July 12, 2012. The wedding set a new world record for the most expensive pet wedding with a price tag of $158,000.

A wedding between two dogs has set a new world record for the most expensive pet wedding.

The New York City nuptials between Baby Hope Diamond and Chilly Pasternak had a price tag of $158,000, but was also a fundraiser for the Humane Society of New York. Chilly won a contest to find Baby Hope's groom.

Baby Hope, a Coton Du Tulear, wore a dress by designers Henry and Michelle Roth. The reception included jazz music and a sushi buffet. Representatives from Guinness World Records were also on hand for the event.

Baby Hope's owner, Wendy Diamond, said the event was to commemorate another dog she had named Lucky, which died recently, and to raise awareness of canine cancer, as well as animal rescue and welfare.

The Fairytail Wedding of the Century cost $250 per person to attend.

Annie Hawkins -Turner - World's largest breasts set Guinness World record

Annie Hawkins-Turner - World's largest breasts set Guinness World record

Annie Hawkins-Turner is used to people being unable to look her in the eye — as she boasts the world's largest natural breasts.

She's spent a life time getting noticed for her unique physical appearance.

Now an Arlington woman is using her unusual features to land on a TLC cable show on Sunday.

For Annie Hawkins-Turner, every day is a blessing.

"I've been through some really really dark days, and god really came through for me," she says. "I really, truly believe my husband was my angel."

Two decades ago, Hawkins-Turner met her late husband in Arlington.

"He embraced me, taught me how to love myself," she says.

Finding self-esteem has been tough. Hawkins-Turner developed large breasts early, younger than 12 years old.

"It wasn't easy and it wasn't fun because I was just a little kid."

Her early development continued into adulthood. She holds a Guinness World record for the world's largest natural breasts. It's turned trying times into international fame.

"I've held the title now for 13 years. I've been all over representing Guinness World Book of Records on television shows, morning shows."

She makes a living as an Internet adult film performer, and created her own company to produce her videos. Sunday she will appear on TLC to share her story.

"I was born like this, and just because I don't meet the standards of society, who are they to make me want to change myself?"

Her size has created problems. Finding an adequate bra isn't easy. Her calloused shoulders show it.

"I got a permanent dent right there. Life has been different. But I've just learned to embrace it. I like living."

Despite setbacks, she says a love for god, her late husband and her own positive self esteem keep her going.

Felix Guirola, a former welder, has been riding his 18ft-high bicycle through the narrow streets of Old Havana for several years.

Now he hopes his efforts will be recognised officially by the Guinness Book of World Records.

With his home-made contraption, he dodges low-hanging electricity cables, potholes and pedestrians on a daily-basis.

To mount or descend from his enormous bike he needs help from three people to hold the metal steady while he clamours down.

"I've never been much of a cyclist, but I really like riding tall bikes," Mr Guirola told the AFP newswire. "I don't know if this interests Cubans, but it interests me. This is my hobby."

The current record-holder in the tall-bike stakes is Canadian Terry Goertzen, who achieved the title in 2004. However, Mr Guirola is confident he will beat the Canadian with his high-altitude device, claiming that even as Mr Goertzen was claiming his record, he was already pedaling the world's tallest bike – he just never knew he had to register the feat with officials at Guinness.

Mr Guirola has now rectified the mistake and notified the organization.

A vendor of small household items by day, and a renowned tinkerer in his spare time, Mr Guirola crafted his first bike – one that was 6.5ft-high – in 1983.

He thought he might use it in some way to raise money to help his disabled sister, who died in 1994.

Since then, his bicycles have grown in scale. He now plans to go even bigger, constructing one that will soar to 39 feet.

"I say sometimes it's like an obsession," his wife, Francisca Acosta, said. "It is always about bicycles and each passing day it gets a little bit taller."

Every day he drops her off with his tall bike at the restaurant where she works – an unusual commute, but one she has grown accustomed to over the years.

India's tallest couple - Tallest family from Pune set world record

India's tallest couple - Tallest family from Pune set world record

The Kulkarnis, stand out wherever they go, as they are the country's tallest family. They are now hoping to set a new world record with their combined height. Sharad Kulkarni, 52, stands at 7ft 1.5-inch tall and his wife Sanjot, 46, is 6ft 2.6-inches tall. Their daughters, 22-year-old Mruga and 16-year-old Sanya, are 6ft 1inch and 6ft 4inches respectively. The four-member family's combined height is a staggering 26ft.

The couple was crowned India's tallest couple by Limca Book of Records after they married in 1989. They had hoped to be named the world's tallest couple by the Guinness Book of Records, until it emerged that Wayne and Laurie Hallquist, from Stockton, California, stand a combined inch taller at 13ft 4 inches.

"We were a little disheartened. It's nice to have recognition when you live your life being so different. It ends up meaning something. But we're excited about new prospects," Sharad said. Growing up, Kulkarnis faced years of teasing and ridicule. When Kulkarni hit 7ft as a teenager, he ploughed his energies into sports and ended up playing basketball for his country, but Sanjot struggled to go unrecognised and fit in the remote Indian village where she lived.

The pair began to accept early on in their teens that marriage one day might be difficult. "It's hard for a woman to be taller than a man in India. The man has the more authoritative role so I would never want to marry a smaller man and then be ridiculed about his wife," Sanjot said.

"It was a big possibility that I'd never marry really," she said. But Sanjot's grandmother spotted Kulkarni walking down a street in Mumbai one evening and approached him. A few weeks later Kulkarni's parents called the number and a meeting was arranged for the potential couple. The couple married in December 1988. Now, along with their two grown-up daughters Mruga and Sanya, they hope to have the chance to be the world's tallest family.

Human tower built in New York set world records by Castellers de Vilafranca team

Human tower built in New York set world records by Castellers de Vilafranca team

The Castellers de Vilafranca team build a human tower, or castell, on a skysraper roof in Manhatten as part of a bid to set a new world record.

The 150-strong Castellers de Vilafranca team took about five minutes to get into position.

Cheers erupted when the final child, wearing a safety helmet, topped the precarious human tower.

Earlier, the team had built an eight-person high human tower, apparently setting a new Guinness World Record.

The performance is the first in a series of events being held to celebrate the rebuilding of the World Trade Center complex that was destroyed by terrorists in 2001.
