A new Guinness World Record for the "Largest Gathering Of People Wearing Underpants" has been set by a gathering of 116 underwear-clad young people in Britain’s St. Pancras International Train Station on November 13, 2008.
The participants shocked and confused regular commuters at the station while parading in their underwear and knickers.
In addition to setting the "Largest Gathering Of People Wearing Underpants" Guinness World Record, the participants promoted Fair Trade’s "Pants to Poverty" cause.
Hey, anything to help a poverty charity is good in my book.
