Jeff Luszcz wrote about making the (then) world’s longest burrito (3,578 feet) in Mountain View, California for 1997 Cinco de Mayo’s celebration.

The record, unfortunately, didn’t stand the test of time: in 1999, another burrito measured at 4,289 feet and 11 inches – made in Tri-Cities, Washington, broke this world record. Link

Sean Dockray’s PACK-MAN is a modified version of the classic arcade game PacMan, in which 5 joysticks combine (majority rule) to move the PacMan:

… if three people move their joysticks upand two people move theirs down, then PacMan will move up. If one person moves left and one person moves right, PacMan will do neither. The software remains essentially unchanged, although it runs much slower (to account for the speed of group decision-making) and graphics have been added across the bottom of the screen to communicate what each of the joysticks is doing at any given time.

From the website:

It is not uncommon for elderly, injured, or handicapped animals to lose the use of their back or front legs. Nerve damage, DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), cancer, arthritis, injury, accident and more can result in this condition. Fortunately, this does not need to be the end of a dog’s life. A dog cart or dog wheelchair can offer an animal a wholesome, healthy, quality life.

Raghav Mahato created his own pirate FM radio station from used and recycled items for just $1, probably the cheapest transmission equipment in the world.

"It took a long time to come up with the idea and make the kit which could transmit my programmes at a fixed radio frequency. The kit cost me 50 rupees (just over $1)," says Raghav.

The transmission kit is fitted on to an antenna attached to a bamboo pole on a neighbouring three-storey hospital.

A long wire connects the contraption to a creaky, old homemade stereo cassette player in Raghav’s radio shack. Three other rusty, locally made battery-powered tape recorders are connected to it with colourful wires and a cordless microphone.

His village FM station (Raghav FM Mansoorpur 1) was heard by thousands of villagers. The Indian government, however, was not amused and shut his station down.
