  Jason Doucette - World Records - 196 Palindrome Quest, Most Delayed Palindromic Number
This new world record beats the old world record that has stood for about 3 years (set by my program sometime between November 1999 to August 2000; the exact date was never recorded) which was the 15 digit number 100,120,849,299,260 which resolves into a 92 digit palindrome in 201 iterations.
It is lower than the number that we expected could be the potential record (14,200,033,399,975,995), and it is on a different thread (series of numbers that are formed by the reversal-addition iteration), as the resultant palindrome is different from that of the record for 161 iterations.
This new world record beats the old world record set by my program (with Benjamin Despres' reversal-addition code) 2 years, 143 days ago, which was the 17 digit number 10,442,000,392,399,960 which resolves into a 111 digit palindrome in 236 iterations.

 New Pending World's Record Pronghorn from Oregon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It's official a new world record pronghorn was recently measured following the required sixty-day drying period.
As the director of the Record Book for Oregon, I have confirmed that Boone and Crockett measurer Glenn Abbott scored the record shattering pronghorn at 94 6/8 B.C. The previous world record was taken in 1985 by Michael J. O'Haco in Arizona and measured 93 4/8.
In the pronghorn world an inch and two eights is record shattering, in comparison, this is the equivalent of six full inches when measuring Rocky Mountain Elk.

On a warm summer's night on one of the fastest tracks in the world, the 22-year-old beat Tim Montgomery's previous record of 9.78 set in Paris in September 2002 to become the fastest man ever over the distance.
Powell earlier this week had said he would take a shot at the record during the Athens super grand prix at the stadium which hosted Summer Olympics last year and where American Maurice Greene also set a new 100 metres mark in 1999.
Tuesday's record made up in part for Powell's disappointment at finishing fifth in a 100 meters final he was favorite to win at last year's Olympics.

Vintage new wave keyboards and monotone vocals bolster the indie harmonies of "Ankh," giving the band a momentary resemblance to the late, great Brainiac.
