Someday I hope to have free time. Then I can break world records for things like building the largest toothbrush sculpture of a body part. Until that happens, though, I'll have to leave that kind of fun to others.

That really happened, by the way. According to UPI, Indian pharmaceutical firm Dr. Reddy's Laboratories used 80,000 toothbrushes to create a 40-foot giant tooth. It's on display at Terna Dental College in Navi Mumbai, India. Guinness has certified the new world record.

The massive tooth will be on display for the next year before the materials are recycled. I hope that means they'll be melting down the toothbrushes and not just handing them out for people to use. You can see a video of how the sculpture came together HERE.
