DailyDirt: Winners And Record Holders

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

There are plenty of world records that no one really cares about -- but it's still entertaining to see folks keeping track of some weird records and winning contests that are just a bit bizarre. Here are some real winners, depending on your point of view. By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    They refused my nomination of the Obama administration's Illusion of Transparency. Bastards.

    The Best Illusion are a sight to behold

    Not sure why on Earth any would eat 25,000 of anything let alone Big Macs. I am shocked that they are still alive.

    Thanks to the urls-we-dig-up dept for these one.

      Jimr -- 25,000 Big Macs.. not all at once! :P

      I wonder what other foods people might unconsciously eat 25,000 of -- maybe M&Ms?
