Everyone would like to be remembered. A few people e  1    try to do something that no one else in history has ever tried to do. These people sometimes have their names r  2    in the Guinness Book of Records.

Often it takes a group of people to do something unusual. One such team paddled a bathtub 145 kilometres for 24 hours. This group had 13 m  3    . They paddled their bathtub on a river near Ashford, Great Britain on May 28th and 29th, 1983. A month l  4    , a racing team of hospital bed pushers in Avon, Great Britain, pushed a hospital bed 16 kilometres in j  5    minutes. However, the distance record for hospital bed pushing is still held by the men of Bruntsfield Bedding Center. This team from Edingburg pushed a hospital bed 5,203 kilometres in 1979. It took the team 35 days to c  6    the distance.

Another group of record makers held the h  7    dinner party in the world. Nine people from Sydney, Australia, climbed Mountain Huascaran on June 28th , 1989. The climbers t  8    a dinner table, chairs, and a meal up the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, they had to c  9    warm clothes to have dinner.
