The event was billed as Fast, Faster, Fastest. Windstream brought four world record holders to Lincoln so they could show off their very speedy skills.

It was in August of 1954 when Sir Hugh Beaver of the Guinness Brewery in Ireland printed the very first Guinness book of records. Ever since then, people around the world have been doing some pretty wacky stuff to get their names in that book.

"Talking, well, I think I was talking in the womb to be quite honest with you. I think I said to my mother, 'Let me out," said Fran Capo, Putnam Valley, NY.

Fran Capo is the fastest female talker in the world.

"I've been doing the fast talking since March 5, 1986. I broke the record on Larry King Live doing 63 word per minute or 10 words per second," she said.

The stand-up comedian set the world record by doing 603.32 words per minute, or about ten words a second.

"Just being able to travel the world as a fast talker, I mean, how cool is that," she said.

Mary McVeigh, 26, does the her work with her speedy feet. She was only 16 when she set the world record for soccer ball juggling.

"The idea in speed juggling the idea is to get as many touches as quickly as possible," said Mary McVeigh, Northampton, MA.

McVeigh set the record with a hundred touches in 30 seconds.

Kent French is the world's fastest clapper. The 46-year-old man from South Dakota set his mark in 2003.

"This is what 13 claps per second sounds like," said Kent French, Rapid City, SD.

That's 721 claps in one minute.

Finally, Nicky Shane is the world's fastest harmonica player.

"104 notes in 20 seconds that's what I play," said Nicky Shane, Santa Barbara, CA.

"You actually have to slow down the recording once you record that so you can hear the notes, so you can play it back in slow motion," she said.

But those records are being beat all the time. For anyone looking to establish the new mark for direct, full-body contact with ice, well, your job just got a lot tougher. Three weeks ago, a Chinese man destroyed the existing record by remaining in a huge box of ice for an hour and 30 minutes.
