In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten. Pretty neat though
Yeah thats crazy.... heres a picture of the guy who made/still making the third biggest one in the world and his ball next to him.
First off, yeah those are some big balls. Secondly, I saw this one on Guiness World Records (when it was on TV). They eventually have to start using the rubber bands that they use to hold the wrap they put on furniture (such as couches...etc.)
