Alastair Galpin (born 1974, East London, South Africa) is the 2nd biggest Guinness World Records breaker of the decade (2000–2009),〔Guinness Book of World Records (2010), p. 7〕 breaking 38 World Records, behind Ashrita Furman. He immigrated to New Zealand in 2002, and says that his career in Record Breaking was inspired when he met champion rally driver, Simon Evans, in Kenya in 1998. ==World records== Alastair Galpin has broken over 85 world records for feats including having the most snails on the face (eight in 10 seconds〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Snails ooze into record book )〕) and the most rubber-bands stretched over the face (62 in one minute). He also holds the most stamps licked (57 in one minute) and the fastest time to peel and eat three kiwifruit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Record breaker hugs the limelight )〕 Galpin is also the holder of the Guinness World Record for the most hugs in one hour in Civic Square, Wellington, New Zealand on 13 July 2007 (624 hugs) and achieved three new Guinness World Records at the Guinness World Records Day 2009 for Champagne-cork spitting, coin blowing, and Malteser (malt ball) spitting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guinness World Records Day 2009 )〕 Along with New Zealander Don Purdon, Galpin commenced an attempt at the longest hand-shake at 8pm EST on Friday 14 January 2011 in New York Times Square. After 33 hours, three minutes, they had smashed the existing record by more than 17 hours and shared the record with Nepalese brothers Rohit and Santosh Timilsina.〔http://www.allheadlinenews.com/briefs/articles/90031342?%20Nepali%20brothers%20share%20world%20record%20for%20longest%20handshake〕 Galpin's drive to assist non-profits lies in his awareness of escalating environmental and social degradation around the world. This awareness of his has been supported by Professor Noam Chomsky.〔http://www.worldrecordchase.com/opinionpiece.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alastair Galpin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
