To celebrate the New Year, Dubai decided to break the Guinness World Record for world’s largest fireworks show. Because of course the world’s largest fireworks show would be in Dubai. They put the best show on every year. Might as well put on the biggest too. Dubai exploded over 500,000 fireworks in just 6 minutes centered mostly around the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest structure, for a spectacle that even surpasses Dubai’s ridiculous standards. It was amazing.

Ready for a big number? 502,165. That’s the number of LED lights the family of David and Janean Richards in Canberra, Australia has decked its home in order to clinch the 2013 Guinness World Record for most Christmas lights in one display. Whoa.

If you ever found yourself in an herbal induced state of clarity and wondered if you could set a Guinness World Record in something ridiculous, the answer is you probably can. But then Ashrita Furman would probably break your record. Who? Ashrita Furman. He’s perhaps the greatest winner, maybe one of the greatest non-professional athlete and definitely the greatest Guinness World Records holder in the world. Why? Because since 1979, Ashrita has set nearly 400 Guinness World Records. Seriously.
