It encompasses 318 square miles (820 km2) in parts of Jackson, Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. The city also serves as the anchor city of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, second largest in Missouri, and largest with territory in Kansas (Wichita is the largest metropolitan area anchored in Kansas). As of 2007, the city had an estimated population of 450,375, with a metro area of just over two million. Kansas City was founded in 1838 as the Town of Kansas at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers and was incorporated in its present form in 1850. Situated opposite Kansas City, Kansas, the city was the location of several battles during the Civil War, including the Battle of Westport. The city is well known for its contributions to the musical styles of jazz and blues as well as to cuisine (Kansas City-style barbecue).

The success of the 5th annual Guinness World Records Day – celebrated this November 12 – has proved once again that the public has an insatiable appetite for witnessing or participating in world record events. An estimated 250,000 people took part in this year’s events, helping to raise thousands of dollars for various charities and drawing attention to the fun and excitement that can be had when trying to get your name in the world’s best-selling copyright book. Kicking off events outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia were a group of skimpily clad exhibitionists striving to break the record for the largest swimwear parade; sadly, only 235 people turned up – not enough to qualify for the record – demonstrating that not every attempts leads to a Guinness World Record! After the disappointing start, things quickly started looking up. Multiple record holder Alistair Galpin of New Zealand bagged himself not one but three records – for Champagne-cork spitting, coin blowing, and Malteser (malt ball) spitting. In China, Tao Yongming set a new Guinness World Record for fastest ascent of a sand dune on a motorcycle, while in Egypt, Heshim Nessim also set a new standard for the fastest vehicle crossing of the Egyptian desert. Soon, half of the planet was indulging in record breaking. In Turkey, the concrete was flying as strongman Ali Bahecepete hacked away at the most concrete blocks broken in 30 seconds and in 1 minute, and in Albania, artist Saimir Strati turned art on its head and crafted the largest mosaic made out of paint brushes. In the Middle East, Lebanese model-maker Toufic Daher erected the tallest matchstick model (of the Eiffel Tower) and fellow countryman Nabil Karam did an official count of his largest collection of model cars (22,222!). As Europeans woke up to the morning news, they began to hear stories of the most translated comic book, The Adventures of Asterix by Goscinny and Uderzo, the latter of whom was on hand to accept his Guinness World Records certificate. The most nationalities in a sauna (Finland) followed, along with the fastest human wheelbarrow (also Finland), the fastest time to eat a bowl of pasta (Italy), the fastest time to eat and peel three lemons (Denmark), and the largest gingerbread man (Norway) – presented to the IKEA Furuset in Oslo by Sultan Kosen, the world’s tallest man! The Germans put on a particularly good show, tackling at least seven Guinness World Records, from the farthest distance reached on a water slide to the most dominoes stacked on a single piece. But beating the Germans in the numbers game was the UK, with eight attempts including most couples hugging in a minute, longest conga on ice and fastest time to inflate and burst a hot-water bottle. The highlight in the UK was Manjit Singh – the “Iron Man of Leicester” – establishing a record for the farthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with the hair. By now, the United States was awake and raring to get their fair share of record breaking action. First off the blocks was the largest cup of hot chocolate in New York, followed by the largest collection of lipstick prints by the Big Apple’s Cosmopolitan magazine. And the records kept on falling: In Memphis, Tennessee, the Universal Cheerleaders Association broke the largest cheerleading dance by 72 people, and in Fort Worth, Texas, the Stockyards Championship Rodeo established the record for the most people lassoing simultaneously. As the sun set on the day, some records were still underway, others had yet to be reported back to Guinness World Records’ head office in London. What was sure, though, was that it had been a great day of record breaking. Congratulations to all those who took part, and commiserations to everyone who failed to make the mark! To those disheartened, don’t worry, you’ve got a year to get back into training for GWR Day 2010.

The longest head-on ramp jump is 15.4 m 50 ft 6 in by Jake Semtex (UK) at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire, UK, on 17 Apr 1999.

Cheetahs are the fastest land mammal! Capable of reaching speeds in excess of 70mph they are an amazing animal, unfortunately their numbers in the wild have dropped drastically in the past 100 years. Namibia is one of the last refuges of the remaining world Cheetah population. A quarter of all the remaining cats are found in Nambia. It is estimated their numbers globally have declined by over 90% in the last 100 years. A local thorn bush species is invading the savannah in the country, causing over US$90 million each year in lost revenue to Namibian farmers, whilst also destroying the native habitat of the fastest of the cats. Now the Cheetah Conservation Fund has pioneered a scheme to clear the thorn bush and turn it into cheap fuel briquettes. The project is creating jobs at the same time as helping to restore the hunting ground of the endangered cheetah. Vote for the Cheetah Conservation Fund "No Beating About The Bush" at: http://www.theworldchallenge.co.uk/vote.php Voting ends 13th November 2009, you can vote once per e-mail address - remember a vote for the CCF is a vote for the CHEETAH!

London received a striking visitor today as the worlds newly-crowned tallest man, Turkish Sultan Kösen (26) who measures a staggering 8 ft 1 in (246.5 cm), toured the city in celebration of the launch of Guinness World Records 2010 edition (published 17th of September). Earlier this year, Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, travelled to Turkey to personally validate the claim of Kösen under strict Guinness World Records guidelines, which stipulate that the claimant must be measured three times in one day. The average of the measurements is the definitive height as it is medically proven that the body expands and shrinks throughout the day. To Glendays surprise, he discovered that Kösen also has the worlds largest hands and largest feet measuring 27.5 cm and 36.5 cm, respectively, making him a triple record holder. Kösen is also the first person in more than a decade to officially measure over 8 ft in height. He takes the record title from Chinas Bao Xi Shun (7 ft 8.95 in), after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyks (8 ft 5.5 in) claim to the title was discredited in 2008 when he refused to be independently measured. Glenday said: We only know of 10 confirmed or reliable cases in history of humans reaching 8 ft or more. Sultans an imposing figure, but a gentle, quiet man whos totally relaxed and unfazed about his unique standing in the world. Its a pleasure to welcome him into the Guinness World Records family and celebrate his mark as one of the most important record holders of this decade.
