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 ;)

"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>"

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.
