Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound, where records are being broken as we speak. We are all aware that the Olympics are only a few short weeks away and records are falling, especially in swimming as the new body suit reduces drag and improves speed, but there are other records being broken that may not get the television coverage that the Olympics will receive, but nevertheless, they are still records.
Recently in Fort Scott, Kansas, the community set a record on how far a penny can go, literally. For three days, they worked in a parking lot placing pennies on the ground to form a chain that was 40 miles long-breaking the old record of 34.57 miles set in Malaysia in 1995. [Note: There was no comment on who was going to put all of these pennies in a roll and take them to the local bank to be cashed.]
For another example, on July 2nd in Washington, 10,000 sneakers were placed toe-to-toe in a courtyard to produce a record 1.65-mile string of shoes. However, with this record there comes a sad note.
Due to the smell from all of those sneakers, the area is now labeled a biohazard area. Off course the Dogpound cannot be left out of this sort of thing, so this issue is going to set a new record on the number of Blonde Jokes listed in one Dogpound issue. Wish us luck!
