Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Earning a hallowed spot in the world of competitive eating, Jake Bronstein sets a universal record by downing an entire 24-ounce bottle of Aunt Jemima Original Syrup in 2 minutes, 35 seconds.

Bronstein chose the category in homage to Super Troopers, a film that includes a legendary sryup chugging scene. He set the record on February 11, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society held at Pianos, a New York City bar. Corey Henderson and Marc Covitz were on hand to document and time the record.

BONUS: Jake has offered $1 (that’s right, one US dollar) to the first person who attempts to beat this record. Also, to see the aftermath, click here.

Combining quick hands with facial hair animation abilities Nick Spahr drew mustaches on 16 clothing models in a J.Crew catalog, a new universal record.

As he quickly turned the pages, Spahr spruced up model after model using a regular fine point Sharpie. This feat was achieved at a World Record Appreciation Society event held in New York City on January 7, 2009. Rob Birdsong and Corey Henderson were present to document and record the feat.

In a tremendous display of verbal aptitude, Yan Grinshteyn said the word ‘galaptasaurus’ four times in one minute, a new universal record.

The record was set at Grinshteyn’s New York City apartment on January 23, 2009. When asked for a definition of what a galaptasaurus is, Grinshteyn replied, “It’s just a tyrannosaurus that spends way too much time vacationing in the Galapagos.”

Testing the limits of both his facial skin and his tolerance for pain, Chris Boaz clipped 26 binder clips to his face, a new universal record.

This painful feat was set on January 21, 2009 at Boaz’s office in El Cajon, California. He used a range of binder clip sizes in setting the record. Co-worker Chad Durnal was present to count and unclip the achievement.

URDB is a place for posting world records for others to beat. World Record Appreciation Society is the physical manifestation of that. At the first event Todd Lamb sets a new world record for Most Images Of Fish Sandwiches Looked At In One Minute:

Amazing. Meanwhile, Zoomdoggle’s own Jake Bronstein set a record for Most Strangers’ Drinks Sipped Out Of In 15 Seconds:

Almost as amazing. Oh, and did someone say “free spring rolls”? Yup, we had those too. The thing is, a new year brings new feats never before achieved in the history of mankind. To kick off 2009 in style, the World Record Appreciation Society (W.R.A.S.) invites you to join us for what should be a legendary night of record setting. At this extremely special event, you’ll have an opportunity to get onstage and set your own world record in front of a cheering (and possibly uncontrollable) crowd. As long as records are quantifiable, breakable and legal, they’re welcome on our stage.

Mark your calender: January 7, at New York’s Asia Roma on Mulberry Street. All are welcome to attend. Sign-up is on Facebook. It should be fun.
