What is the longest egg drop in the world?

On August 22 1994 David Donoghue threw an egg out of a helicopter onto a golf course in the UK, from a height of 700 feet. Apparently the trick was to get the egg moving forward at the same speed it's falling, then have it land on a grassy slope. Looks like it worked as he now has the record for the longest egg drop without breaking in the world.

For those who are curious about the longest marriage in Hollywood:

Bob Hope married Dolores DeFina in February 1934 and they stayed together until the end setting the record for the longest Hollywood marriage at 69 years.

Check it out, there are a lot of fun trivia.
