Some I just found on the GWR website for the UAE;
Largest parade of Hyundai Buses

Fastest ever game of Operation
Most cans crushed by a vehicle in 3 minutes
Largest Ten Commandments Tablet
Most children reading with a single adult at one time
Largest seashell mosaic
Largest display of hanging baskets

Re: UAE's world records
I remember driving past that last year, out on Yas Island on National Day.
Remember thinking look at all these poor bus drivers stuck out in the middle of nowhere all sitting around next their buses.
Then reading the newspaper that they had broken a record.
I'm sure they could not have give the proverbial rats ar*e about being in GWR after sitting out in the dunes for the whole day. I wonder if they got paid?

World's highest carbon footprint per capita? (sorry, no, they're 3rd.... must try harder)
