Ever see a really tall stack of pancakes and wonder what the world’s tallest stack of pancakes must look like? Let us rephrase that. Ever been stoned? From the Daily Mail:

Two hotel chefs today claimed to have toppled the record for the world’s tallest pancake stack.

Sean McGinlay and Natalie King of Glasgow’s Hilton Grosvenor hotel measured their pancake tower at 29.5 inches (75cm) - beating the current title by 0.4in.

The chefs mixed about 100 eggs, more than 17 pints of milk, 11lbs of flour and 6.6lbs of butter for the challenge, a hotel spokeswoman said…

According to Guinness World Records, the current official record stands at 29.1in (74cm), achieved in Slovenia in August 2008.

That 672-pancake stack took 22 hours to build.

That should probably read “22 well spent hours to build”. There’s nothing quite like putting those silly Slovenians and their puny 29.1 inches back in their place.
