I've been cracking my finger knuckles since I was ten, when my cousin Irene showed me how to. Back in school, it felt cool to crack my knuckles. Now that I'm in the working world, people tend to cringe or give me admonishing looks when I pop my fingers. I feel so alone! Which leads me to...I would like to set a Guinness World Record in the Amazing Feats>Mass Participation category: the most number of people gathered in one place simultaneously (in 5 seconds) cracking their fingers/neck/back/toes. I've checked at the Guinness World Records website, there is not an existing record.
Marcus thinks this is strange, but since the conception of this idea, my life somehow seems more purposeful.
I wouldn't mind breaking Jack MacKenzie's record...

I would like to be the person standing in Times Square as 1,000,000 people crack their digits. As the crowd disperses, I would scold everyone for their poor manners!

You know I am capable of cracking most of my joints, so I would not mind joining the mission (For the record, Helen taught me how to crack my toes). Yet, I wonder if we could even go on the "Ripley's believe it or not" as the most interesting trivial record breaking~!

Count me in. I have learnt to crack the very last knuckle on the fingers.
