Outstanding Achievements.

When I was a kid, I loved paging through the "Guinness Book of World Records" - it was hours of entertainment. So, naturally, this series - by San Francisco artist Maria Forde - brings me back. I especially love the last one, of James Whale, who apparently holds a world record for kissing: 4,525 women in eight hours. Impressive.


So much more - including author portraits and priceless pearls of wisdom - on the artist's website, here.

  5. the guinness book of world records is seriously the most HYPNOTIZING thing when you're a kid - photos of the world's longest fingernails, shortest man, and largest pizza are like, INGRAINED in my brain.

  7. About this kissing one...wasn't there a risk of getting herpes? Since the days before an outbreak, it is still contagious...
