Take the 'Guinness World Records 2009' pop-culture quiz!

Who doesn’t marvel at the Guinness World Records? It’s imperative to know about the world’s shortest mobile living man (China’s Pingping, a restaurant owner who’s only 2ft 5.4 inches), priciest hamburger (the $120 foie gras-filled Double Truffle Burger at the db Bistro Moderne in NYC), and youngest lion tamer (he was five when he started!). Or that American Dennis Avner broke the record for “greatest number of surgical procedures undergone to look like an animal” by braving the doctor’s knife 14 different times in order to resemble a cat. That said, I bet that if Footlights writer Jason Clark and I put our minds (and teeth) to it, we could smash the record for most Maltesers thrown and then caught in a mouth in a minute. It’s only 19! Wimps, I say!

But the massive, obnoxiously green, super shiny, and totally addictive 2009 Guinness Book is also a smorgasbord of pop-culture milestones and records that might stump (or at least surprise) even the most avid EW.com reader. Just try to guess these and then tell us how you did.
