TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Doctor. The daily 5 minute skill devotion. For everyone who is simply dotting about Alexa. The guys were Robin here.

Today we are revisiting the Guinness World Records Skill. Which is, um, minimalist but interesting. We last looked at it over 600 episodes ago. I'll open Guinness World Records.

Hello and welcome to Record of the Day from Guinness World Records. Each day I'll search through the vaults during your snapshot from record-breaking history. Well thanks. Did you know that on this day in 1907, a shit named Thomas W.

Lawson was wrecked off the arms of Silly UK. The only seven-master sailing crew in the river built. It also holds the record for most masters on a sailing ship. Do you want to hear something else?

Yes. On this day in 2003, Ron Hunt fell face first onto a still revolving 46 centimeters drill bit. No. That's over a foot and a half long.

Amazingly, he survived. Searching in Nevada, USA removed the largest object from a human skull. Which passed through his right eye and exited above his right ear. Shall I pick a random record?

Yes. On this day in 1974, American data completed the first walking second navigation of the globe. Wow. He had set out on 20th June 1960, more than four years earlier, and covered 23,250 kilometers, or nearly 14,500 miles.

The first person to explore the Darth Vader Crater in 10 minutes down was George Carrenes. In November 2013, the crater is also known as the door to hell, as it's filled with constant burning gas, and has been on fire since 1971. Wow. We had just a one sound effect at the beginning.

Yeah, that's an official Guinness World Record Skill, guys. I believe. This is Ron signing off, and we will speak again tomorrow. Feedback comments, demos, the dot-to-dot podcast at gmail.com.
