Time after time you've proven to the world that a man with more money than sense can set world records freely, especially when no one's considered keeping said records prior to your suggestion because they relate to crossing great distances quickly in the least practical mode of transport conceivable. Well, Richard Branson, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again. Your two hour crossing of the English Channel in an amphibious car will go down in history as not only the fastest crossing of the Channel in amphibious car, but as more evidence that money simply cannot buy sense and no number of world records is enough to provide the self-esteem that being cursed with a cocktail wiener between your pasty thighs deprives.

Meanwhile, Europe continues to feel comfortable flying in planes owned by a man that seems to think balloons are a better way to go.

Next up for Branson, crossing Antarctica in a motorized wheelchair.
