Picture this: You just balanced fourteen spoons on your face, hopped across the living room on a pogo stick, and successfully caught a piece of toast flying out of the toaster in your teeth. Your dog is staring at you. Your sibling is slowly clapping. Panting, you look at the clock and think: Wait... is that a world record? It’s a great question. But getting your name in the history books takes a lot more than just doing something completely absurd in your kitchen.
