The World's Largest Red Paperclip!

That'sa, biga, reda, paper-clip, huh?

Measurements were taken on the spot for the Guinness World Record bid, and Kipling is now home to a red paperclip that is:

15 feet, 2 inches long
39 inches wide
Is constructed of 5 inch diameter solid steel
Weighs just shy of 4000 pounds
And holds paper! (And mounties.)

Word on the street is that Dubai was home to the previous world's largest paperclip. I think it's probably a good idea for Kipling to instigate a paperclip-off with Dubai, seeing that Kipling could also one day turn into a burgeoning trading metropolis overseen by billionaires hellbent on breaking every standing world record ever created. One day. Maybe.

So, I guess I need to say, bring it on Dubai!

Kipling's giant red paperclip is located just behind 503 Main Street in Bell Park, and can be enjoyed by children of all ages. (And Mounties) So swing on by!

Have fun

In Dublin right now. Lots of Guinesses last night. Doing heaps of radio and TV interviews over here today. Gonna trade Judy on Gerry Ryan's show. The digital readout in the cab this morning said Coyle Mc Donald. So that was fun. Word around town is that yesterday a dinghy full of cocaine washed up on shore, the police confiscated it, and now Paddy Power is taking bets on the actual street value of the drugs. Kinda hard not to be excited about being in a place where that sort of thing's going on. Going to the park now to look for shamrocks.

PS - This 7-ELEVEN in Vancouver isn't the one I traded the original red paperclip at, but I grew up just down the road. Definitely my "local" sev.

Also, there's a minisite for the UK/Irish version of the book! It's really mini!
