But last week, Guinness Book of World Records disqualified it because the matchsticks he used weren’t commercially available. Guinness acknowledged its decision may have been “heavy-handed” and will review the judgment.
Still, Plaud threw shade at London-based Guinness, writing, “Clearly, the English are really different.......” Which is exactly what we thought when they first created a book of people with long fingernails.
