1. Bravo pour leur exploit. Fantastique
2. Corrections to be noted in clip: Name is George Hood and he is a retired DEA Agent and his finish time at the world cup was 7 hours, 40 minutes and 4 seconds. A new personal best for Hood and huge respect for Weidong's finish time.

4. nonsense. the planking record holders are located in Gitmo prison, Cuba
5. Finally some news I care about. Good job Reuters.
6. Oh, this is China, not the U.S.; ..when I saw " policeman " and " planking " I thought this had something to do with the police going around beating people with planks.
7. A young man and an old man? Oh yes, this is a Chinese contest aka The Turtle and the Hare.
