Thousands of records are registered every year by Guinness World Records (GWR). Some people break old records while others create new ones.
Recently, a video went viral on the internet in which a man was seen doodling with the world's largest ball pen. This has received a mixed reaction from netizens.
In the video, a man accompanied by 4 other people picks up the world's largest ball pen and doodles a face on the paper. Another man was seen holding the table at a lower point in which a paper was placed. With the help of multiple people, he was able to draw a face. Some netizens appreciated the creator of the pen while others were seen questioning, "what's the use of the pen when you can't write with it? "
This clip was shared by guinnessworldrecords on Instagram with a caption, " Largest ball point pen 🖊️ 5.5 m (18 ft 0.53 in) long, weighing 37.23 kg (82.08 lb 1.24 oz) by Acharya Makunuri Srinivasa."
GWR also said: "This ball-point behemoth engraved with scenes from Indian mythology was crafted by Acharya Makunuri Srinivasa from India. The 9-kg (19-lb 13.5-oz) brass pen measured 5.5 m (18 ft 0.53 in) long – beating the previous record by 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in) – when it was assessed in Hyderabad, India, on 24 Apr 2011."
