The smallest recorded cardboard box was constructed by Kenyan chartered accountant Manse Oskalja, in April 2004. The finished box measured 3mm by 4mm by 3mm. Oskalja said, “This is actually a bigger box than 3 which I constructed over the last 5 years, but I accidentally inhaled 2 of them, and my dog sat on the third, rendering it invalid in the Assessor’s opinion. I am glad to have set the record, but I will not be happy until I have repeated the feat of my previous, lost, boxes.”

Most Pointless insult on vinyl
The most pointless insult ever recorded on vinyl was spoken by Inuit Peppor Kummel in May 1954. A visiting documentary maker recorded her telling her neighbour, “Your niece wears Azerbaijani slippers on Thursdays!” Asked about the meaning, she said, “It may seem meaningless to you, but she knows what I meant, and I feel very strongly about it.”
