World’s Deepest Underground Shaft
10/30/08 - Amazing
“Hold on to your specs while peering down here. You’d have a long climb to the bottom if they fell off. This rocky chasm in China is one of the world’s deepest underground shafts. It stretches down for an astonishing 3,100ft, or 1,026 metres. An international team of cave explorers who discovered the cave, near the village of Tian Xing, are seen descending into the abyss.” w/ photos

World’s Longest Pub Crawl
10/30/08 - Amazing
“The four men have just visited their 14,000th pub across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. They have spent 24 years travelling to every corner of the country and have downed and estimated 84,000 pints of real ale, working out at 21,000 pints each. The foursome – Peter Hill, 52, John Drew, 45, Karl Bradley, 45, and Joe Hill, 77, began their mission in 1984. Because three of them work, their pub going is confined to Sundays and holidays.” w/ photos
