Sort of OT - On December 13, 2006, my DD and her school participated in the Charlotte's Web Project.

There were 223,363 people worldwide, 50 states, 22 countries and they broke the Guiness Book for World Records for the Most People Reading Aloud Simultaneously in Multiple Locations

. I have yet to see this printed in the Guiness Book but I have the Break a World Reading Record and official press release stating there was official confirmation from Guiness World Record that they did break the record!!!
