World record set in Toronto for largest group dressed as Albert Einstein 404 people were in big white wigs and moustaches Tuesday
From CBC
Toronto was unusually brainy on Tuesday.http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/world-record-set-in-toronto-for-largest-group-dressed-as-albert-einstein-1.4045108A group of 404 people set the Guinness World Record for the "largest gathering of people dressed as Albert Einstein"—obliterating the previous record of 99.
Participants had to follow the famous physicist's dress code: blazer, necktie ... and of course, a big white wig and moustache — all to make them look like the German-born genius who revolutionized the world of physics by developing his theories of general and special relativity. .
The record-setting event took place at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto, and the Next Einstein initiative provided wigs and moustaches to all participants.
Rich Zagorski didn't have to don any fake hair, however. This natural Einstein look-alike travelled from New York State to take part in the world record.
"I like seeing the kids here, because the kids are the next generation that are going to be taking over after us," he said.
'We need the kids to be able to go out there and really know about history and culture and music."
