How far will a man go to dunk
a cookie into a mug of tea?
Nearly 250 feet! England’s
Simon Berry is the record
holder for highest bungee
dunk. Wearing bungee-
jumping gear, Berry dove off
a platform nearly 250 feet
in the air toward a cup of
tea on the ground. Just as
he approached the cup, he
stretched out his arm and
dipped a cookie into the mug.
Talk about making a splash.

Jigsaw puzzle pieces come in many
different shapes and colors. This one’s
pink—and made up of people! Nearly
550 employees of a company in Germany,
most wearing pink sweatshirts, gathered
to break the record for largest human
jigsaw puzzle piece. To show people where
to stand, organizers drew the jigsaw
piece’s shape in the grass. Then the
puzzle participants took their places.
Way to keep it together.

Skipper Blue is ringing in a victory—the macaw
holds the record for placing the most rings around
a target in one minute. For weeks the parrot
practiced picking up small, plastic rings with her
beak and dropping them over a wooden and metal
pole. Then during the record attempt Skipper Blue
plopped 19 rings around the target. Nobody can
accuse this bird of winging it.
