Is there a Guinness Record every single day of the year? Yesterday's record was a man snapping 98 pencils in 60 seconds. The report claims that it is incredible that he's not the first man to attempt the record. He beat the previous record of 90 pencils.
And on Friday the 13th, a B.C. bookstore in Victoria attempted to set the world record on the tallest book stack. Did they do it? No news. So that would mean it is unlikely. It is hard to tell - there are so many stacks of book records. There's even the tallest stack of Guinness World Records books.
And how many people were at Port Dover for Friday the 13th? There were only 75,000 people in Port Dover yesterday. Attendance was 'light'. The next Friday the 13th is in December, so no records will be broken then.
Who was born and died on Friday the 13th? Arnold Schoenberg, the composer. He was reported to be terrified of the number all his life.
