The world record for the longest kiss was broken on this past Valentines in Pattaya, just south of Bangkok. The kiss lasted for two and a half days and if you want to be specific it was 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds. The new record defeated last years by over 8 hours. Talk about setting the bar high.

Hospital security guard Ekkachai Tiranarat, 44, and 33-year-old housewife Laksana locked lips for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds in Pattaya, on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard, smashing last year's Guinness World Record by more than eight hours.
