The Man Who Spent 49 Days Sitting on a Flag Pole

Guinness World Records registers a lot of unusual records every year. The record for the world's biggest burger belongs to the people at Mallie's Sports Bar & Grill, who produce the Godzilla of burgers, weighing about 1,800 pounds. Alvin Kelly sat on a flagpole for a total of 1,177 hours, which is 49 days plus an hour. He learned to take naps sitting upright and was often photographed doing random things while up there, like reading the newspaper or shaving. Caudry, a French town famous for its production of lace, snatched the title for the world's longest wedding dress train.
