Pakistan in Guinness Book of World Records

.

thank you

actually these are two different records

maximum number of tree plantation by an individual as mentioned in your post.... that was formerly held by Canadian citizen

and other record is maximum number of tree plantation in 24 hours.... that was formerly held by India...
 
.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Such threads are refreshing :tup:

A 'failed' state making world records that some 'successful' states couldn't make:lol:

All these stuff is achieved Without any infrastructure,Economic support (like giving money to Sports players at junior level) and facilities. :pakistan:

Just thinking what we have done if provided same facilities as Americans enjoy :cheers:

But again it comes to this point thatAmericans made this for themselves

oh well Bunji dam is not the worlds largest under construction hydropower project

First of all Bunji is not under construction so its disqualified...

secondly Three Georges dam produces about 22,000MW of electricity alone... far bigger than Bunji and it is not fully functional yet.... more than 18,000MW of electricity is being generated by now but upon completion of this project in 2011 they will be able to generate upto 22,000MW of electricity.

There is another dam under construction in china that will produce about 40,000 - 45,000MW of electricity. The construction work started in 2005 and will take some time to be completed.

BUNJI HYDROPOWER PROJECT

Drilling has started. I know we are in a very, very early phase, but physical work on the ground does appear to be happening.


"Drilling in dam and powerhouse areas at new structure location is in progress. Upto date 10327.20 m drilling has been completed against 12440.0 m. 536 m River bed drilling in dam area has been completed by Tarbela Dam Structure Division WAPDA."


secondly Three Gorges dam produces about 22,000MW of electricity alone... far bigger than Bunji and it is not fully functional yet.... more than 18,000MW of electricity is being generated by now but upon completion of this project in 2011 they will be able to generate upto 22,000MW of electricity.

I don't think the article I referenced measures the size of the dam by electric generation capacity. The size of the dam usually refers to the size of the reservoir lake, or other physical aspects. That said, certainly if you count Three Gorges as an under construction project, then you are right, Bunji would not be the largest.

oh really didn't know that... who broke the record for largest flag in the world?

Let me give you a hint. If you asked our Foreign Office, they would tell you that technically, it isn't a country :-)

Pakistan in Guinness Book of World Records

Widest Gauge Railway
The widest gauge in standard use is 1.676 m (5 ft 6 in). This wide gauge is used in Spain, Portugal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Argentina, and Chile. The narrower standard gauge, 1.435 m (4.698 ft), is more common in much of America and Europe.

Do you know what? I got a forward in my mail regarding the same. Lemme paste it here



Everytime you think hear these words think twice before you go along with the idea!

Does the statement, "We've always done it that way" ring any bells?

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an odd number, don't you think?
Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built railroads in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads.

Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did "they" use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot and bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's *** came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses.

Now the twist to the story...
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is only slightly wider than the railroad track and the railroad track, as you now know about as wide as two horses behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ***.

And you thought being a horse's *** wasn't important.

Here's one we can be truly proud of. I was doing research for a course and found this:

Pakistan has the highest number and percentage of vehicles running on Natural Gas - 2,300,000 - and also the highest number of Natural Gas stations - 3,068
Source: International Association of Natural Gas Vehicles

So, basically, while our neighbors to the East and North are making our air toxic everyday by being extremely harsh on our collective environment, Pakistanis are doing just the opposite. Add to this the fact that a major chunk of our power comes from Hydroelectric, Nuclear thermal and Natural Gas thermal plants (62.5% to be exact), and you know why Pakistan has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the developing world, ranked 35. For comparison, China, the European Union, the United States and India are ranked 1-4.

Edit
By the way, this represents about 15% of the total number of registered vehicles, and accounts for only vehicles registered as CNG. For those of us who have lived in Pakistan and seen the number of CNG-fitting mechanic shops, we know what the real percentage is (probably exceeding 50% in the major cities).

In August 2002, the PBCC team toured England and won the Umar Rashid Memorial Trophy after beating England 3-1 in a series of 4 One-Day International matches.

So far, Pakistani blind players have set ten (10) World Records detailed below:

World Records

  • Highest score by an individual blind player: 262 by Masood Jaan (Pak v RSA), Delhi, 1998.
  • Highest score by a team: 376 by Pakistan (Pak v RSA), Delhi 1998.
  • Fastest Century: 37 balls by Ashraf Bhatti, (Pak v NZ), Delhi 1998.
  • Fastest fifty: 17 balls by Abdul Razzaq, (Pak v Aus), Delhi 1998.
  • Maximum individual boundaries: 42 by Masood Jaan, (Pak v RSA), Delhi1998.
  • Maximum catches taken by a player in a match: 4 by Adnan Ahmed, (Pak v RSA), South Africa 2000.
  • Best wicket-keeping performance in an inning: 2 stumpings and 3 catches by Ishfaq Ahmed, (Pak v RSA), South Africa 2000.
  • Best Fielder: Zareen Khan who is totally blind took two catches on consecutive balls and received a distinction, (Pak v RSA), South Africa 2000.
  • In the very first Test match the Pakistan team scored 721 runs for the loss of 8 wickets against South Africa in 2000.
  • Abdul Razzaq, the fastest bowler in the world of cricket for the blind took five wickets in the first ever Test match played between Pakistan and South Africa in 2000.

A key milestone

World’s first Cricket Test match for the Blind: Played between Pakistan and South Africa in which Pakistan defeated South Africa by 94 runs.

The largest number of useless lame Rulers? The only country in the world which has a president who was on an international "wanted" list for years?

On the positive note...the most robust and enduring nation in the world..



Pakistan has yet to fully explore and advertise her historic monuments and natural wonders.
