A while ago there was a bit on the Ripley's Believe or Not tv programme of a guy highlining inbetween two buildings in Las Vegas (I think). It was about 50ft+. Has anybody else seen it, or knows who was the highliner?

Yep- the Guinness book of world records is published by Guinness brewing.

It was originally created to settle arguments that took place in the pub over a pint of Guinness.

That's exactly where I saw it when I made my pilgrimage to that holy place-

Guinness gives me strength!

mmmm Guinness is good for you! It's too bad you can't tour the actual factory anymore. Although I did like the "Guinness Hop Store" enough to go twice in my 3 day visit to Dublin ;)
