Thats pretty cool... but what I want to know is what you were searching for? "World's longest *"??
Now all I need is a way to get that slinky through customs and past the metal detectors.
Cost of airfare 500$
Taxi out to Pyrmid 50$
Being able to finally watch your long slinky in action -Priceless
-THIS SPACE FOR RENT!
What I love is how every time the author of that page makes a reference to his "sliiiiiinky", he changes the number of "i"'s in the word ;)
I went over ALL the pictures and by FAR this is the best one
:)

...how well does it walk down stairs?
The World's Longest Slinky will be useless without the Worlds Largest Starcase.
What rolls down stairs Alone or in pairs Rolls over your neighbour's dog It's great for a snack It fits on your back It's log, log, log!

"1: characterized by slinking : stealthily quiet <slinky movements>
2: sleek and sinuous in movement or outline; especially: following the lines of the figure in a gracefully flowing manner <a slinky evening gown>"
So, if it moves sinuously or wears an evening gown, there's no doubt.
Someone should put this guy in touch with NASA, since it seems he has come closer to building a space elevator than they have.
Why is the girl in this picture wearing a helmet?
I think I'll stick to regular sized slinkies so I don't have to remember to wear a helmet. The number of slinky related deaths each year is growing. Please remember that playing safe is playing smart.
My website could do with some slash-throughput

It's Lo-og, It's Lo-og!
It's better than bad, it's good!
