Terminal 4 at JFK International Airport was the unlikely location for 21-time Guinness record holder Ashrita Furman's latest attempt to make history. Furman was attempting to break the Guinness record of 29 minutes for rolling an orange with his nose for one mile. Although rolling an orange with ones nose may look amusing, getting in record-setting form is serious business, said Furman. "It's down to 29 minutes for the mile and it's actually very fast, it's a very intense record and so it's a challenge to me even though it's silly so hopefully it'll work out." After 24 minutes and 34 seconds, the orange and then Furman entered the record books, squashing the old record by over 3 minutes. It was the first for the orange, but Furman's 87th time in the Guinness book. www.itnsource.comReuters 12072/04
