URDB legend Todd Lamb continued to raise his own bar, more than
doubling his existing record of 25 images of fish sandwiches looked at
in one minute[] to an incredible 54. Lamb used thicker card stock and a
better-prepared assistant, even bringing surgical gloves for said
assistant to wear.
The record was set on January 7, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation
Society event in New York City. Event organizers Dan Rollman and Corey
Henderson were present to witness and document the feat.
THIS RECORD HAS BEEN BROKEN.

COMMENT ON THIS RECORD

Chris Farber
Firstly, I would like to thank my supporters in these here comments. I will, as attempted record holder in a swimming trivia related category, concede my mistake upon review of the film, and promise to claim this record in under 30 seconds at the next URDB event. Remember to eat your vitamins, swimmaniacs!
Dan Rollman
Brian. Nicely noted. I have egg all over my face. Time to go fire the copy editor. That said, I'd still vote to deny the record.
Beam Camp
Dan, I respectfully request that you reconsider your call on this one. Why is Chris being denied certification of this outstanding performance based on a trivial error when you and the URDB "powers that be" can't even correctly spell the name of the record? Read it slowly and eat your crow. Brian
Deborah Hampton
My vocal frye had no preparation. Just a deep breath and a dream. Just saying
let the record show that he performed this feat on the spot with no prior preparation.
Deborah Hampton
rolldog - I agree with you. Grand effort, really. A+. But no URDB record. no sir.
Corey Henderson
I, on the other hand, consider his slight misspeaking not a sizable enough error to warrant denial. It seems clear to me that he knew the correct answer and simply jumbled the words.
Dan Rollman
Though this was a very impressive performance, I vehemently believe it isn't a record. In naming the Athens records, Farber said Phelps got "first place, 4x100 Individual Medley." Sadly, that's incorrect. If you go on Wikipedia, you'll see it's actually the 4x100 Medley Relay. Deny!
