The weird part of this project was the length people go to make themselves famous.   What is featured in the movie doesn't hold a candle to some of the other world records we found such as swallowing objects (living bee, golf ball, food items) then regurgitating them in specific orders (still alive).   Instead we picked tasks we thought we had a chance at beating, only to find just how difficult doing them really is.  

            The science part stems from the scientific method which states that if something is to be considered fact it must be able to be replicated.   These tasks are all true, they were viewed by numbers of people and many were documented with video.   As the video shows though, replicating the circumstances of the records set does not in any way insure our ability to replicate the records.
