Happy Summer Solstice!

If you look outside your window right now, you might notice that it's light out. Kind of strange to be light out at eight? Well, today's the longest day of the year!

In honor of the very important day, I have compiled a list of some other long things:

Longest Baseball Game Ever: 26 innings. It happened May 1, 1920 when Boston tied Brooklyn 1 to 1.

Longest Dinosaur: 130 ft. The creatively named Supersaurus.

Longest Painting: 5 km. Painted by 5000 Iranians in August of 2006.

Longest Professional Tennis Match: 6 hours and 32 minutes. Johny Mac came out on top, beating Mats Wilander in the 1982 Davis Cup Quarterfinals.

Longest Hot Dog: 104.75 ft.

Longest Wall of Fire
: 1.127 km. Constructed by an Australian Explosives team in 2005.

Longest Banana Split: 4.55 miles. Cooked up by residents of Selinsgrove, PA on April 30, 1988.

Longest Sausage
: 13 1/8 miles.

Enjoy the holiday--don't party too hard.
