If you've ever ditched someone via your Facebook status - this is for you. It's a delightful Facebook manner instructional video, circa 1946, and might just clear up a few dos and don'ts about your favourite social network.

New York businessman achieved the record of all records, becoming the first person to simultaneously hold 100 Guinness World Records. Guinness World Records confirmed that 54-year-old Ashrita Forman is holding 100 records that have never been bested. Furman made his first entry into the Guinness Book of World Records 30 years ago, by doing 27 000 jumping jacks within 5 hours.
