Comic Con is known to attract a massive number of people, and this year it’s officially paying off. Craig Glenday, the Editor-in-Chief of the Guinness World Records, will be honoring some of the best and the brightest at Comic-Con 2010 and the convention is among the few that will receive official recognition from the Guinness World Records.
Among the few certificates that will be handed over throughout the four-day course are titles such as ‘Most Chocolate Bars Eaten in One Minute,’ and ‘Tallest Structure Built With Interlocking Bricks,’ also more serious ones like ‘Most Successful Sports Movie Franchise,’ and ‘Largest Comic-Book Convention.’
Some will be battled out at Comic-Con while others have already won the title. Sylvester Stallone, for example, will accept the award for Rocky as the most successful sports movie franchise, during the panel for his new movie The Expendables. Steve Austin, who also co-star in The Expendables, will be honored for Most WWE Royal Rumble Championships (he’s won three Royal Rumbles).
Those are some of the things happening thus far, we suggest you check in often to check what else is going on down in San Diego this week.
