Tallest, Biggest, Longest, Mostest…?

[MOBIUS]

It just occurred to me, for example that I’ve visited most of the structures in the world that have held the record ‘Tallest Structure in the World’ at some point in their existence – my record is: c. 2700 BCE – 1549; 1884 – 1967; 1975 - 2007…

I’ve also managed the most northerly and southerly capital cities of the world (Reykjavik & Wellington). For our yank friends, I’ve managed to visit 21 states (+D.C.) and stayed in 12 of them (+D.C.).

What sort of records have you managed and what do you hope to achieve? Obviously one of mine would be to complete my World’s tallest structure list, which is easily doable!

I've been to the world's most backward country, but after a day in Llangollen returned to civilisation again.

I am the worst poster at Apolyton.

Edit: Also, I've never played a Civ Game.

There are other posters who are much worse.

im one of the few (maybe only) diagnosed with schizophrenia that put the disease into complete remission without medication after 2 years with zero relapse while living independently and holding down a full time job.

when I read the title of this thread I broke in to rap... Who's down with OPP?!

Oh dear! Things must have really gone downhill since 2004. I was going to ceremonially apologize, ban myself, and anonymously re-reg to seek redemption but I guess I don't have to anymore!

I find it funny that Mobius thinks having been to the tallest buildings in the world is some sort of accomplishment like he has climbed Everest or something.

[MikeH]

Which ones have you been to?

[Al B. Sure!]

That's not the point.

As for my accomplishment... I'm a 25 year old virgin

[MikeH]

It is the point isn't it? I don't think he's bragging, just trying to start a chat about travelling... although, if you've never been anywhere it might sound like bragging I suppose.

[MOBIUS]

...climbed Everest or something.

Which is named after a Welshman BTW...

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to come over as bragging - just an attempt to start a chat about travelling as Mike said...

I thought America was an awesome country to visit - and I can totally understand why the majority of Americans never bother going out of the country!

Any Americans here done all 50 states? I reckon that would be a pretty cool achievement...

[MOBIUS]

BTW, I bypassed Philly - just didn't strike me as a particularly interesting place to visit, given the time we had...

AAHZ, congrats to you man, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, after 1 year of having severe panick attacks/psychotic episodes, along with my ADD, PTSD and Aspergers, because of 13 years of being bullied. Still on the meds though.

[ZEE]

Thanks. I thought about having a brain-scan or some such, as schizophrenia has to do with brain tissue loss (literally holes in your brain,) and i was somehow able to "rewire" myself without aid of chemicals. Maybe i could help others or something, but i am still a bit traumatized from the whole experience. Even if i was misdiagnosed my life was horrible dealing with whatever it is that i DID have for about 3 decades.

While i joke about it often, and i can act like a silly twit, I really do owe a large portion of my stability to Buddhism and Blake for introducing it to me. How i would have defeated some of the IRL obstacles the past 2 years since i have been practicing, i believe would have been impossible due to my old way of behaving and thinking. I now practice every day and will do so until i pass on.
