Albanian artist Saimir Strati used 233,000 paintbrushes on end to create this portrait of Michael Jackson. I don't think it looks too much like Jacko, but it's still an interesting artwork and it earned him a Guinness World Record for the largest paintbrush mosaic: 10m x 2.6m mosaic. It was part of Guinness World Records Day where hundreds of thousands of people tried to break a variety of unusual records. You'll be thrilled to learn that Jim Lyngvild now holds the record for the fastest time to peel and eat three lemons: 28.5 seconds. See a gallery of images from the day at The Guardian.
