World's Longest Pizza Line

AUSTRALIA has a new culinary world record to boast about - but probably not too loudly.It's for the world's longest line of pizzas, beating the previous record set in the United States by just one metre. Thousands of spectators flocked to the Italian hub of Leichhardt, in Sydney's innerwest, to witness the record - 826 freshly cooked pizzas, stretching 221 metres. Twenty-five chefs used 500kg of flour, 250 litres of tomato sauce and 350kg of mozzarella cheese. After the Guinness World Record adjudicator deemed the record broken, the pizzas where donated to a charity to feed the homeless and disadvantaged. The previous pizza line record of 220 metres was set just three weeks ago in Fort Rustico, Florida.

Ministry of Silly Walks, Monty Python The Pythonites knew how to deliver lunacy, but perhaps their greatest skill was in establishing the foundation for, and then slowly building upon, absurd premises. Case in point: this classic sketch, which opens with the sight of John Cleese buying a newspaper and then taking weird, gigantic steps down London's streets, and becomes increasingly funnier with each new development. Cleese arrives at his job, which a sign surprisingly informs us is at the Ministry of Silly Walks. He passes by other strangely ambling co-workers and into his office, where Michael Palin asks for help in developing his not-very-silly gait so as to receive a government grant. Cleese's ensuing demonstration is a tour-de-force of physical showmanship, his strikingly long legs bending in ways both hilarious and awe-inspiring. It's the newsreel footage of silly walks from yesteryear, however, that truly cements this sketch's status as one of Python's greatest hits Back to top
