Since he began in 1979，Furman has broken more than 100 Guinness records.Furman is a graduate of Jamaica High School in Jamaica，Queens，New York. He went on to attend Columbia University but dropped out in 1974 after he had become a devout follower of Sri Chinmoy，the Indian philosopher and religious teacher.●World records held by Ashrita Furman include:Most hopscotch games in 24 hours(儿童)"跳房子"游戏Most rope jumps in 24 hoursFastest 10-km sack race套袋跑(一种把两腿套入袋内的赛跑)Most underwater rope jumps in one hourFastest pogo stick ascent of Canada's CN Tower(孩子玩的)弹簧单高跷Largest bouquet of flowersGreatest distance traveled on a pogo stickMost milk crates (板条箱，柳条箱)balanced on chinThe longest distance walked by a person balancing a milk bottle on their headGreatest amount of beer glasses balanced on chinMost sit-ups performed in an hourLongest time juggling underwaterLongest continuous somersaultingFastest time juggling 3 balls while running 50 milesLongest distance pogostick jumpingFastest hula hoop racingFurthest distance traversed carrying the most bricks with one handMost Guinness records in different categories2. “Guinness” Comes into Our CollegeDo you want to be the keeper of “Guinness Record？” It is not a dream anymore. The first “College Guinness Record” is going to be held on the playground，on April 2th. Now，everybody has a chance to become one of the “Guinness Records” keepers.As interesting as the Guinness World Records，College Guinness Records also have different kinds of items，such as lowest bike-rider，fastest cell phone message-sender，most basketball-shooter，etc. Students can not only take part in competitions which have been already set，but also have the rights to give suggestions to add what they are good at. Every record-maker will be awarded a certification. In addition，their names will be written in COLLEGE GUINNESS RECORDS.The applications for joining in the game started from March 21st. Students can apply from their apartment manager or 5B 310 of Science Building. Meanwhile，another much more convenient way is recommended& not；–sending e-mail to SXS@，involving: the basic information like your name and major；item or items you will participate in，like lowest bike-rider；they way how to contact with you，like your cell phone and dormitory number. If one misses sending application，he/she can still come to the spot and join in the competition on 2nd，April. Before the game starts everyone is still welcome.“The Incredible Will Take Place”，as the slogan manifests，students will discover their potentials they have never known through “College Guinness Records”. What’s more，such funny game helps enrich our college life.Zhai Xuejia。
