World’s Loudest Burp
With the Olympics on and all, it’s hard not to catch record-breaking fever. That said, here are the 3 amazing things I learned from watching this clip about the World’s Loudest Burp:
1. Apparently the Guinness Book of World Records actually developed protocols for measuring the volume of someone burping. The loudest burp, shown here, measures 104.75 dB on a certified and calibrated class 1 precision measuring noise level meter from a distance of 8 ft 2 in.
2. That record-setting belch was produced by Jodie Parks… an American house wife.
3. I thought I’d grown out of burping entirely, but having just watched Jodie’s awesomeness twice, I’m leaving my desk to buy a Coke and brush-up on my skills.
The fun starts two and a half minutes in. I recommend skipping ahead.
