Cheesy line of quesadillas stretches over 1,000 feet to set culinary record in Mexico

A group of talented cooks from Tlaxcala, Mexico have set a mouth-watering Guinness World Records title for the longest line of quesadillas, after assembling 11,206 of the tantalizing tortillas for the hungry public.
The Secretaría de Turismo del Estado de Tlaxcala organized this attempt on 6 March to showcase the region’s culinary heritage, as well as their traditional corn-based gastronomy.

To do so, they brought out 25 cooks to create nine variations of the classic cheesy dish – and construct a line of quesadillas longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower!

Altogether, the display of quesadillas stretched continuously for 364.6 m (1,196.1 ft), meaning they could cross three football fields with their tables of tasty snacks.

Half-naked twerking spring breaker hurled from Jeep in horrifying Texas crash

A half-naked reveler in Texas twerked atop a speeding SUV moments before the vehicle’s drunk driver smashed into a car and sent him flying, a viral video shows.

The 22-year-old man sustained a serious head injury after flying off the Jeep in the spring break hotspot of Port Aransas, a beach enclave near Corpus Christi, local police told KRIS 6.

The video, which went viral on social media, shows the man dancing suggestively on the roof; another clip shows the aftermath of the crash, in which paramedics treat his injuries while the driver and passengers — all wearing swimsuits — look on.

Message in a bottle floats from Canada to Scotland in 2 years

A man walking with his dogs on the coast of Scotland found a message in a bottle that had been launched from off Canada's Prince Edward Island.

Mike Scott said he and his dogs were walking on the beach in St. Cyrus, south of Aberdeen, about two weeks ago when his Labrador retriever, Maggie, found a bottle in the shallow water.

Scott found the bottle contained a letter that was sealed in a plastic bag to protect it from leaks.

The letter, which was written in French, was dated August 2024 and said the bottle was being launched from a ferry traveling from Prince Edward Island to the Isles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec.

The letter's author, Annie Chaisson, asked anyone who found the bottle to contact her through Facebook.

Scott said his wife found what she believes to be Chaisson's Facebook profile, but has not yet received a reply to her message. He said the profile did not show any recent activity, so the letter's author might not be on the social network anymore.

Another message in a bottle found last year took a much longer journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The message, dated Sept. 12, 2012, was launched from Newfoundland's Bell Island and washed up in July 2025 on Ireland's Dingle Peninsula.

Pakistani man performs 66 thumb pushups in one minute

A Pakistani athlete broke the same Guinness World Record for a third time by performing 66 thumb pushups with one leg raised in one minute.

Muhammad Arshad, who has broken more than 14 Guinness World Records for feats of athleticism, earned the title for the most thumb push-ups with one leg raised in one minute for a third time in May 2025, the record-keeping organization said.

"Thumb push-ups are one of the most difficult and rare exercises, requiring exceptional strength, balance and mental toughness," Arshad told Guinness World Records. "This uniqueness is what drew me toward them."

He said keeping balanced on his thumbs with one leg bent at a 90-degree angle was one of the biggest challenges during training.

"Time is limited, the body becomes exhausted, yet maintaining balance and meeting the strict 90-degree bend requirement is extremely challenging," he said. "Even a small mistake can invalidate the entire attempt."

Deer trapped on rocks on Maine shore for hours

Authorities in Maine asked visitors to avoid a section of a historic walk due to a deer that appeared to be trapped on the rocks.

The Ogunquit Fire Department said on social media that the deer appeared to be "trapped on the rocks and resting" Tuesday along the Marginal Way in front of The Beachmere Inn.

"We appreciate The Beachmere for allowing pedestrians to pass through their gate and across their lawn to get around the affected area," the post said. "As soon as the deer is able to rest and the tide subsides a bit so it can move along safely that section of Marginal Way will be reopened."

The department later updated the post to say the deer had been able to hoof it from the scene without assistance.

"Just as we had hoped, the deer was able to rest undisturbed and eventually went on its way," officials wrote.

A cheeky shoplifting pelican has been spotted sneaking into a supermarket to snatch some snacks.

The bird was seen lurking outside the store before slipping through the doors for a quick treat.

A number of reports claimed the winged suspect was hanging around the area searching for handouts.

However, local law prohibits anyone from feeding these birds due to making survival ‘complicated’.

That was before it decided to take matters into its own wings and jump into a supermarket.

The hilarious clip taken at Publix, Manatee Beach, Florida, racked up a whopping 103,000 views, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Fortunately, a good samaritan put the pelican in a box and took it to a local wildlife centre.

“This guy was wandering around Manatee Beach looking for a handout, following people around,” a spokesperson for Wildlife, Inc Education & Rehabilitation Centre said.

“He was chased away, but then found himself in a Publix where he decided to give it another shot.

“Eventually he was put into a box and brought to us.

“He’s a young pelican, with no issues flying, but had probably continuously been fed by humans which is why it was seeking out people for food.

Live possum snuggles stuffed toys at Australian airport store

Workers and travelers at an airport in Tasmania, Australia, had an unusual encounter when a live possum was found snuggling with stuffed toys inside a store.

Hobart Airport in Cambridge shared video on social media showing the possum relaxing with the plush toys on a shelf at the Lagardere AWPL store.

Liam Bloomfield, multi-site manager for Lagardere AWPL, said staff members spotted the animal about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday.

"We found the possum sitting within the native plush," Bloomfield told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "It looked like he was pretty comfortable with his friends there."

Bloomfield said the possum did not appear to be stressed, but it caused a stir when it climbed down from the shelf and went for a tour of the airport.

"We had passengers here, there and everywhere, taking videos," he said. "It was a bit of a mad rush to make sure it was safe and no passengers were disrupted and that the possum got back home."

He said the possum was "safely escorted" out of the building by airport staff.

Bloomfield described the possum's visit as a "nice little spike of happiness" during an otherwise normal day at the airport.

Circus performer pulls 2,184-pound carriage with his nipples

A Finnish man used his body piercings to break the Guinness World Record for the heaviest vehicle pulled by the nipples — 2,184 pounds.

The professional circus performer, known as The Baron, had his partner sit in a carriage to bring it up to weight on the set of Guinness World Records' German TV show Die große Show der Weltrekorde in Munich.

He used the piercings on what he described as "the world's strongest nipples" to pull the carriage, breaking the record of 2,179.27 pounds, set by American Sage Werbock, aka "The Great Nippulini."

The Baron previously broke the Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight lifted by the nipples in 2013, when he lifted 71.87 pounds of weight and held it for over 8 seconds.

Driver caught with fake passenger in California carpool lane

March 24 (UPI) — A California driver was pulled over in Los Angeles county when they were seen driving in a carpool lane with an empty jacket as their sole passenger.

The California Highway Patrol's Baldwin Park station said on social media that an officer on Interstate 10 in the West Covina area spotted a vehicle in the carpool lane with a suspiciously insubstantial passenger.

"That 'passenger' turned out to be a jacket carefully wrapped around the front seat with the seat belt fastened across it to resemble a person," the post said. "Nice try — but jackets don't count toward carpool lane requirements."

The CHP stressed that carpool lanes are reserved for vehicles that meet occupancy requirements.

"Fictitious friends and mannequin copilots won't cut it," officials wrote.

Philadelphia airport assembles world's longest line of cheesesteaks

Philadelphia International Airport celebrated National Cheesesteak Day by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest line of cheesesteaks.

Airport eateries from PHL Food & Shops teamed up with the City of Philadelphia Department of Aviation to assemble 1,291 cheesesteaks on the concourse between Terminals B and C on Tuesday.

The sandwiches were made from a total 225 pounds of cheese sauce, 990 pounds of shaved beef and 1,291 foot-long rolls.

A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to confirm the snaking line of sandwich was enough to create a new record.

"In 2026, Philly is on a roll literally and figuratively," Kate Sullivan, chief commercial officer for the Department of Aviation, said in a news release. "Cooking and assembling the longest line of cheesesteaks ever will be among many historic moments in Philadelphia this year. Congratulations and thanks to all the cheesesteak restaurants here at PHL that collaborated on this delicious, record-setting accomplishment. And thanks to Guinness World Records for acknowledging this achievement."
