Cyprus, home of gigantic lemons, huge bonfires, many moons and oddly well fertilized wheat, now has yet another thing to throw it's collective chest out about!
It is now the proud holder of the new world record on stringing brassieres together! As we here at Blue Crab Boulevard reported earlier, the organizers had twin goals. We certainly hope they reached them!
Their success will shove Singapore, which had held the record since 2003 with 79,000 bras, off the top spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Women from as far afield as Alaska, Brazil, Martinique and Iran contributed bras to the record attempt, aimed at raising awareness of breast cancer.
Even the British solders based in Cyprus took part helping organisers move the bags of bras and lay the chain.
We suspect the assistance was quite enthusiastic. We're familiar with American soldiers. We are quite certain British soldiers are much the same.
The new record beats the old one held by Singapore. However, beware! They are catching up.
