EAST LANSING, Mich. - High school student Joe Kavanagh always wanted to break a world record, so he gathered 800 sets of black glasses with fuzzy eyebrows and mustaches.
About 800 students and faculty members at East Lansing High School donned the disguises Thursday in an effort to break the Guinness World Record for Most People in One Place at One Time Wearing Groucho Marx Glasses.
The previous mark was 522 people. Participants at the 1,180-student school had to wear the glasses for 20 minutes to break the record.
"I didn't think that many people would actually do it," Kavanagh said. "I'm relieved and excited."
Kavanagh compiled signatures and photographs of the event, which he will send to Guinness representatives in the hopes of making the record official.
