Apr 28 2009The 'Spinning From A Drill' World Record
Ever wanted to see some asshat set the world record for number of rotations completed (141) while hanging from a power drill mounted to the ceiling? Me neither. But I did watch it, and now it's your turn. And, if you just so happens you're one of those people that can't watch videos at work, congratulations, today's your lucky day.

Thanks to Eric, who holds the world record for beating up people with stupid world records. Uh-oh, Eric, you may have to punch yourself!

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene int he movie NEver BAck Down where MAx was out of Canada mints, and Rush Limbaugh, followed by his canadian fans who thought he was the rock band Rush started chasing Max on his moped. In order to confuse the fans, he picked up Aldo Nova and let him ride on the back. His music made Rush's head explode like when a martian hears yodeling. This slowed Rush down enough that his fans could catch him, further slowing him and allowing Max and Aldo Nova to escape Rush in triumph.
