Shout House bartender set Guinness World Record

Shout House Dueling Pianos' bar manager, Chris Raph shattered the Guinness World Record for fastest bartender Thursday night with a list of 662 cocktails poured in 60 minutes. The previous record was 389 cocktails, set in Munich, Germany.

That means Raph was pouring more than 10 drinks per minute. More than 300 people joined Raph at Shout House to watch him hard at work.

Each cocktail was required to be different with at least one alcoholic ingrediant and one non-alcoholic ingredient with a total of three elements. He had submitted a list of 784 drinks to Guinness World Records just in case and then went down that list for the record.

Shattering the record was simple. With 25 minutes remaining, Raph had already broken the previous record and was officially declared the holder of the record by a Guinness World Record judge on hand for the event after 60 minutes.

"It was a high-energy night at The Shout House. When Chris broke the record, the crowd went crazy," said Joe Woods, owner of the Shout House Dueling Pianos in a release. "We're really proud of Chris; he's an absolutely amazing bartender."

Weird part of the event: Only a couple of those cocktails were actually consumed. Shout House sold the 390th cocktail for $225 and the 662nd cocktail for $175 to benefit Finnegans Community Fund. The others were dumped out because the barbacks had to keep washing the glasses for reuse.

World's Smallest Bodybuilder - Romeo Dev India

At 2'9" and a mere one and a half stone, Aditya "Romeo" Dev is the world's smallest bodybuilder

Using custom-built 1.5kg dumbbells, Romeo, 19, pumps iron daily to prove that small is beautiful.

While most dwarfs have large heads compared to their bodies, Romeo is perfectly proportioned, and despite his diminutive stature has triceps, biceps, calves and thighs that would make many a full-grown man blush.

He was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 2006 following three months of intense exercise.

Large crowds regularly flock to watch him at his gym in Punjab, where as well as weight-training and push-ups Romeo is training to be a dancer.

"I've been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world," said Romeo.

"I have always been fit but since I started working out I have become famous for my strength.

"My size has never stopped me. I train with dumbbells and do aerobics and dance. People are always pleased to see me – I have been invited on TV shows and dance on stage."

Ranjeet Pal, Romeo's trainer and a friend of his family who runs a gym in his home town of Phagwara, says that Romeo has never let his size get in his way. "Romeo trains more or less the same as anyone else and he's much more determined," he said.

"When he first started I insisted he did a month of basic exercises like aerobics, push-ups and basic gymnastics to prepare his body.

"After that I specially made lightweight dumbbells and taught him basic weight-lifting exercises to shape his biceps and triceps. His size and his weight were taken care of so that he never hurt himself."

Romeo is famous in his home country, and his father has spoken of his pride in his son's determination to overcome any difficulties in his path. "He has never been bothered at being so small. He has no inferiority complex. He is the jewel of our family."

Having made his way in to the record books, Romeo says that he wants to dance on stage. "My dream is to travel a lot – I want to perform in London with my idol, Jazzy-B," he says.
