Imagine all of human civilization has been wiped out except for a single copy of the Guinness book of world records.  Aliens from another world try to use it to reconstruct life on Earth.  They read about people sitting on top of poles for 152 days, eating 77 hamburgers at a single sitting, and talking nonstop for 127 hours (not to mention Rush Limbaugh and Rick & Bubba).  What on earth would they think of us?
