Kiss me all over the place

The rules of the competition required all the nine couples, including a married pair in their 70s, to stay on their feet throughout and keep their lips pressed together in order to not break the smooch. This meant that they slurped food and liquid through a straw and even went to the toilet while kissing. "They were very exhausted because they did not sleep for two-and-a-half days, they had to stand all the time so they were very weak," Sompron Naksuetrong, vice president of Ripley's Believe It or Not!, told AFP.

Breath-taking

A same-sex (male) couple that clinched the previous year’s longest kiss came within two minutes of breaking the new record set by Ekkachai and Laksana but eventually collapsed before the couple gave in. Besides a long-standing Guinness World Record, the pair also won a cash prize of 100,000 baht (equivalent to $3,300 at the time) alongside two diamond rings.

Should you marry your best friend or lover?

The study found that the "well-being effects of marriage are about twice as large for those whose spouse is also their best friend." According to the study, women benefit more from being married to their best friend than men do. But, women are also less likely to regard their spouse as their best friend.

Should you date (and maybe even marry) your best friend? That question's been the topic of countless rom-coms. But beyond the big screen, some scientists are now pointing to evidence that says marrying your best friend is something you might want to consider saying "I do" to. A new paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which controlled for pre-marriage happiness levels, found that married people are both happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who remain single. And the satisfaction the reportedly lasted for decades, not fading away after the "honeymoon" period. One reason the study gives for why marriages remain so satisfying, is the role of friendship. The study found that the "well-being effects of marriage are about twice as large for those whose spouse is also their best friend." According to the study, women benefit more from being married to their best friend than men do. But, women are also less likely to regard their spouse as their best friend. But the study also found that of those relationships that didn't work out, half couldn't retain their friendship after breaking up.

So the bottom line? As Savannah said, "it's high risk, high reward."
