Did you know, there was once when I really wanted to own a copy of Guinness World Record Book but later, I thought, whatever for, since the records changes yearly!

I understand that some record holders will have to travel to various cities around the world to help promote the book. I also understand that these people would be paid on stages. What do you think of this idea?

Earlier today, the Guinness World Record Book announced some new records for 2009, ahead of the book launch tomorrow. Seen here in these photos are the new World’s Smallest Man, He Ping Ping and the woman with the world’s longest legs.

We see many people losing their jobs and their homes in our neighborhood and we wonder when this will bottom out. Will the same fate befall us? Of course, all would be well if we could hold on to our jobs but many businesses have folded in recent months.

The high gas price is not helping. Although it has dropped a little, when it was at its peak, it has already imposed a financial strain on many of us. And this drain on our savings will take a bit of time to recover.

Right now, the whole of America is busy keeping track of the John McCain / Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama / Joe Biden Presidential election campaign trail. But come November, when the newly elected President and Vice President of the United States enter office and the general public gets back their life and go out to the real world, the reality will sting.
