Worlds Longest?

So I was doing my daily stroll through "one of the internets" when I stumbled upon a list of the worlds longest (ed. note: Hi-OHHH!!)

So anyways being the waterski geek that I am I immediately checked out the records for watersking and came across three records listed. They look to be a few years old, but so am I so I don't care.

Of course that was after scanning over all the fun facts like:

What is the world's longest word in Spanish?

If you’re looking for the longest Spanish word, don’t look to The Guinness Book of World Records, as it is wrong. They have superextraordinarísimo listed as the longest Spanish word. This twenty-two letter word, meaning “most superextraordinary” isn’t actually used in the Spanish language. It is only used when speaking of the longest Spanish word. Also, one could add prefixes and suffixes to it making such words such as the twenty-seven letter word superextraordinarísimamente.

The longest words in actual Spanish use are the twenty-three letter words anticonstitucionalmente (“unconstitutionally”) and electroencefalografista (“electroencephalograph technician”). Because the latter is a verb, it can take on a plural form and become electroencefalografistas. This would actually be the longest Spanish word. These words are actually in use when using the Spanish language.

Wow, thats exciting...

What was the world's longest water-skiing marathon?
Finishing on June 12 1994 both Ralph Hildebrand and and Dave Phillips captured the record for the world's longest water-skiing marathon after a soaking 56 hours 35 minutes and 3 seconds skiing around Indian Arm in British Columbia, Canada.

The duo covered 2,152.3 kilometers which we won't translate to miles as they are Canadian.
They used spotlights and infrared binoculars to avoid obstacles during the night.

We wanted to post a picture but they were just too shriveled up and we didn't want to scare anyone away.
