Did you hear about someone trying to break the Guinness hugs record. Here is a short exerpt of the story.
"A Provo, Utah young woman hopes to hug her way into history. She is trying to wrap her arms around a world record by hugging more than 612 people in one hour. Last Saturday, not only did she beat the old Finland record by 153 hugs, but Jordan Pearce's 765 embraces took only 30 minutes - and that just might hold a spot for her in Guinness Book of World Records.
I first heard this on the radio this morning and the talk show host said he had been married 15 years and he doubted if he had hugged his wife 765 times in total in those 15 years."
All I can say is that must be a very hugless marriage. Even one hug a day would only take a little over two years. In my short five year marriage, I'm sure I hugged my wife many more times than 765. What do you think?

Yeah, I think you have to be right, you must have hugged your wife that many times at least by now...and the talk show host...well, maybe he and his wife live on different continents! LOL That sounds like a cool record to break...only 30 minutes to hug 765 people...did she have them all stand in a line to make it easier for her? I don't know if I know enough people who would allow me to hug them just to break a record! lol

It was held at some church or something parking lot and had some publicity which was necessary anyway since Guiness requires some type of media be there as well as a couple of officials of some sort, I think she had a state senator and a judge.
