British sofa sets new 92 mph speed record. More details: "The souped-up sofa from furniture-modder Edd China laid claim to the top spot in the Fastest Furniture category in the Guinness Book of World Records reaching a top speed of 92 miles per hour. Sofa-driver Marek Turowski (who won his place in the driver's seat in an eBay auction) described the record-setting run as 'terrifying,' adding that 'you feel every bump... worse, you feel like you might take off.'" The previous speed record was also set by a British sofa.

  • ...this totally changes the furniture moving business.
  • I don't care how fast it goes, I only care that it gets me to the keg and back. Whooooooooo!!! Paaaarttty!!!!! /fratboy
  • That was ridiculous. I'm sorry, I shouldn't COUCH my thoughts in such a critical way. I just feel like such a big, stupid POTATO. I should just stop writing and give my ARM a REST.
  • *kicks stupid piece of junk only-going-54-mph American sofa*
  • I have a couch that can go 88mph, but one day it just disappeared. Next thing you know dinosaurs became our evil overlords. Weirdest thing.
  • You're sofaaaaaa away... Doesn't anything stay in one place anymore? It'll be sofaaaas on which we'll race to the store. Doesn't help to know, You're sofaaaaaaaa away. Soo, I think a jaunt to the Ottoman Empire is in order.
  • If Edd China isn't a made up name, I don't know what is!
  • Also, what is it with you sick people and your furniture fetish?
  • This one may not be as fast, but it gets much better gas mileage.
  • Oh, and by the way... Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
  • My sofa is a plug-in hybrid, but I usually just take the public seating to work and such. Yes, I'm playing the environmentally-holier-than-dough card.
  • Bolt a howitzer on that sucker and the Ottoman empire need never have fallen.
  • That guy aint got bupkus on him
  • Ottoman empire! OTTOMAN EMPIRE!!! Sofa you've made the punniest comment, SB.
  • I was gonna take a bow for that Granma, then I see that the Underpants Monster beat me to it. Rats. Aaaaa, what the heck, I shall take the credit anyway! Yeeehaw! *rides away on sofa*
