Let’s start with the most pizzas made in one hour: That number’s 142. Mark Rush set this record at a Domino’s in Mississippi.

Then: If you’re in the healthcare industry, you know this next one took some doing. Grace Gupana, a nurse from the Philippines,set the record for blood pressure readings by taking 2,302 in 24 hours!That same day, she also set records for blood tests, cholesterol readings, and diabetes screenings.

Next up: The world’s youngest CEO isSuhas Gopinath of Bangalore, India. He launched his outsourcing company at the age of 14. Today, he has 60 employees - with the oldest being 22.

This last record may never be broken: Mildred Parsons retired from the FBI after nearly 63 years of service without ever once calling in sick.
