    A 59-year-old Bulgarian man has swum more than 1.25 miles completely tied up in a bag in a bid to enter into the Guinness World Records book.

    Wrapped in an orange, porous bag with his arms and legs strapped to his body, Jane Petkov swam “on his back, like a dolphin” to cross Lake Ohrid in southern Macedonia, said Saso Tockov, one of the event organisers.

    The official currency of the BCN2013 Planet Water Village at the 15th FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. These two were complimentary and enough to buy two sodas or beers or something. Still got them; with interest they might be worth a lot at Kazan 2015 !! :-P
