Typing\n\nAs of 2005, Barbara Blackburn is the fastest typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. \n\nUsing the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 word/min for 50 min, 170 word/min for shorter periods of time, and has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 word/min. Blackburn failed her typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career.\n\n\n\n\nReading\n\nEducated adults read at 200-350 wpm, at best 400 wpm for full comprehension. Research has shown that speed reading at 600 wpm can achieve about 70% comprehension, and 50% comprehension at 1000 wpm.\n\n\nSpeech\n\nBooks on tape are 150-175 words per minute, slide presentations tend to be closer to 100 wpm. Conversations are around 200 wpm, and although research by Ronald Carver has demonstrated that while adults can listen with full comprehension at 300 wpm, even auctioneers can only speak at about 250 wpm.

I don't know what the world record is but I know it's much longer than one minute. I think I've maxed out at 1:20 myself. My source says 12:47 for an Italian freediver but I don't know if that is the latest.

I saw a documentary about the volcano Krakatoa on Sumatra in the 1800's as producing the loudest sound ever made.  Do some follow-up research to verify this.  I don't know how you could reproduce it though, perhaps when it blows again you could have a take recorder running!

The Orb's 1992 hit "Blue Room" had a duration of 39 minutes and 58 seconds, two seconds shorter than the maximum permitted for a single under chart rules. There was, however, a second CD available which that featured shorter mixes. \n\nLongest Top 40 track not to have a shortened version on sale is also the Number One with the longest running-time; Oasis' "All Around The World" (1998). It has a duration of 9 minutes 38 seconds. \nThe longest 7" A-side - and available in only that format - was "Inside Looking Out" by Grand Funk Railroad. It is 9 mins 31 secs long and scraped into the Top 40 at no. 40 in Feb 1971.\n\nThe first Number 1 to have a playing time of more than four minutes was Harry Belafonte's "Mary's Boy Child" (1957; 4 mins 12 secs).

Anybody who can ride on rollers for more than 60-minutes should really reconsider why they started riding a bike.\nI don't think there is such a record, but as I said 60-minutes at anything more than 21-mph would be hard to believe.

Based on video evidence, one of the fastest ever scored was in 2.8 seconds by Ricardo Olivera (Uruguay) in December 1998\nSource-Sam

The highest electronically measured speed for a ball bowled by any bowler is 100.23mph (161.3km/h) by Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan) against England on 22 February 2003 in a World Cup match at Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa. \nNicknamed the 'Rawalpindi Express' Shoaib burst onto the cricket scene in 1999, but has since struggled to cement a first choice place in the Pakistan line-up. He has played for many teams, including: Agriculture Development Bank of Pakistan, Pakistan International Airlines, Rawalpindi Cricket Association, Somerset, Khan Research Labs, Durham, Lashings and Pakistan.

The 100m record has been broken in the Olympics a few times, but the current one was not.\n1932- Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe ran 10.38 tied for the world record.\nIn 1964, Bob Hayes ran 10.05 for the world record.\n1968- Jim Hines set 9.95, which stood for a long tmie\n1988- Carl Lewis ran 9.92 for the world record\n1996- Donovan Bailey came from behind and got 9.84\nSince then, the world record went to 9.79, 9.78, and 9.77- none of them were in the Olympics.
