HOTS Eiffel Elation … Updating a recent HOTS story, Richard Plaud has been awarded the Guinness World Record for the world's tallest structure using matchsticks after first having his effort rejected. UPI said the Frenchman originally built the 23.6-foot model using over 700,000 matches, but was rejected because the structure must be built from matches that are available to the public for purchase and don't have flammable red tips‑ and they must "not be cut, disassembled or deformed to the point where they are no longer recognized" as matches. After Guinness World Records Officials reviewed the decision, Mark McKinley, Director of Central Record Services, said Plaud has been awarded the title. HOTS says, “Vive la Guinness,” or whatever the proper terminology is.
