Basketball Shot From Helicopter

It's often said that taller basketball players have more difficulty shooting from long range, but tell that to the team who sank a basket from a helicopter hovering 192 feet in the air.

Frankly, this just makes Shaq's free throw problems all the more inexcusable.

NBC's "Today" show reported on the footage, which the hosts said seems authentic because of the multiple angles shown.

Explaining the timing of the epic shot attempt, team member Rob Bliss tweeted, "Check out this world record 192 ft. basketball shot from a helicopter for #MarchMadness!"

While the team claims the shot set a world record, Michigan radio wonders, "where are the Guinness people and their clipboards?"

Human Mattress Domino World Record

Setting a world record is not something to take lying down -- especially when the record is for "human mattress dominoes."

But 850 people in New Orleans were willing to be "pushovers" in order to break the current record, set last year in Belgium.

The rules set by Guinness World Records for breaking the record are fairly stringent: Each person needs to touch the person behind them and there needs to be a consecutive chain of toppling mattresses.

Once the official pushed the first domino, the carefully-placed mattresses all fell in turn until the last fell on a red carpet. However, participants had to remain lying down until the record was confirmed. After that, the participants were allowed to jump for joy on their mattresses.

The record attempt was set up by La Quinta Inn & Suites, who wrangled 850 employees -- one for each hotel owned by the company -- and the mattresses were donated by the Simmons Bedding Company and will reportedly be donated to charity.

World Record Biggest Wave Ever Surfed 90ft

We had no idea Portugal's coast got such big waves, but would you believe it, it does. 90-foot ones, waves bigger than your house, your neighbor's bigger house, and things that are 89 feet -- that big. It's all thanks to the massive underwater gorge called "Nazaré Canyon" that creates unusual giant waves.

Hawaii-born Garrett McNamara describes himself as a "Extreme Waterman Explorer & Big Wave Champion" on his website, but by us, he's the luckiest surfer alive, happening upon the record-breaking wave while out tow-in surfing with Andrew Cotton and Al Mennie during the surfing gathering known as the "ON North Canyon Project 2011".

"I feel so blessed and honored to have been invited to explore this canyon and its special town. The waves here are such a mystery", Garrett said afterwards. Um, okay Garrett, right you are. Still, nice job!

Jumping up steps on your head

Until we saw this video, we didn't even know "jumping up steps on your head" was something you could actually do -- let alone earn a Guinness World Record for.

Call us old fashioned, but there's something about our legs that make them so suitable for jumping with in our eyes. China's Sun Xi Zhong begs to differ, emphatically proving us wrong by hopping up fifteen steps live on Japanese TV.
