Third world nations should not attempt world records...

[simonj]

Iran's eccentric bid to set a world record for making the biggest-ever ostrich sandwich appeared to end in failure today after the evidence was eaten by the hungry watching crowds.

Organisers were trying to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by producing a 1,500 metre-long sandwich containing 1,000kg of ostrich meat. More than 1,000 cooks laboured from early morning in Tehran's Mellat park to assemble the monster sandwich.

But as soon as their task was completed, popular enthusiasm overwhelmed the need for attention to detail as crowds began devouring the snack before its measurements could be verified.

I've eaten Ostrich meat (or perhaps Emu, I can't actually remember the difference between the birds). It was quite nice. Bit gamey, but good.

A friend of mine is Iranian. He's smarter than most of you.

No, they are all pakis.

A friend of mine is Iranian. He's smarter than most of you.

There's a good chance that he didn't hop in to eat a world record sandwich though.

No he isn't. If he knew anything, he wouldn't be a terrorist.

Anyone notice they're wearing hairnets over their chick-turban things?

Emu jerky is rather tastey...
