THE BRIDGE — If your friend jumped off a bridge would you? Well, I know 245 people who would say "yes."
This video comes to us from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and it's pretty simple, really. Two-hundred and forty-five people jumped off this bridge at the same time in an attempt to break a world record. The previous unofficial record for this was 149, so these thrill seekers destroyed that number, but the record still hasn't been officially recognized, which begs the question: what's the deal, Guinness?
A hundred and forty-nine people leaped off a bridge and couldn't get your attention. So now 245 people do it and nothing. I mean you have a record for the fastest bed maker. How many people need to jump off a bridge to be good enough for you? I know you don't just hand these records out, you've got to really earn it, but how does this not? Or maybe you don't really have to earn it, I mean you've also got largest dog wedding and most snails on face. But I guess 245 people coordinating and jumping off a bridge is just a little too low brow for you.

Have You Seen This? Baby lion’s timid ‘roar’ is charming the internet
Even little lion cubs need to practice their roars so they can one day achieve "king of the jungle" status.Man, I'm really bugged by this. I didn't know how much so until I started writing this. Who wants to start our own world record company where we can get these people a record and stop handing out records to people like the guy who spent 16 years of his life typing the numbers from one to one million.
