2,505 women\* got together to skinny dip in County Wicklow Ireland > **[Thousands of women in Ireland smash record for world's largest skinny dip | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/11/europe/irish-women-record-breaking-skinny-dip-intl/index.html)** > > Over 2,000 women broke the Guinness World Record for the largest skinny dip on Saturday at a beach outside Dublin. It was for a good cause – a cancer fund. They wanted to break the previous Guiness-attested record of 786 and, by gum, they did. \*Who did the counting? How do you verify an amorphous body of people wandering around the beach? Dye one thumb purple? ---

> [@CheshireKat](#): > > They get a man to count and then divide by two? Obvious joke. But, as one woman pointed out, urging others to show up no matter what their shape, “I’m bald and have one boob!”, so that method is bound to give an underestimate. ---
