PAPER PLANES

A GUY IN JAPAN SET A NEW WORLD RECORD OF 27.9 SECONDS FOR THE LONGEST FLIGHT BY A PAPER AIRPLANE:

Some people dream of becoming president. Others want to cure cancer. Then there are people like Takuo Toda of Japan who want nothing more . . . than to build the best PAPER AIRPLANE ever.

I know, it seems like a pretty lame goal. But to Takuo . . . who's the chairman of something called the Japan Origami Airplane Association . . . it's been a lifelong goal.

And now Takuo's goal has been fulfilled, because Guinness World Records has just recognized Takuo's paper airplane flight of 27.9 SECONDS at a competition in Hiroshima last month . . . as the LONGEST FLIGHT EVER by a paper airplane. (--Good work, Takuo . . . I guess.)
