EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) – High school student Joe Kavanagh always wanted to break a world record, so he gathered 800 sets of black glasses with fuzzy eyebrows and mustaches. About 800 students and faculty members at East Lansing High School donned the disguises Thursday in an effort to break the Guinness World Record for Most People in One Place at One Time Wearing Groucho Marx Glasses. The previous mark was 522 people. Participants at the 1,180-student school had to wear the glasses for 20 minutes to break the record.

I’d have loved to see the students wear the glasses to their graduation ceremony. Truly a thing of beauty.

I am currently setting the record for most people holding 4 different colors of highlighters.

I plan to notify Guinness tonight.
