"The longest thread ever!"

..was spun by Terri DeHetre of New Port Richey, Florida.

It's nearly 700 meters long!

I don't know, did he have beautiful women hanging on his every word? That was the sort of effect I would have been aiming for.

Have you seen Oliver? Anyone who's anyone knows it's actually:
"Consider yourself, one of the family"!

And you consider yourself to be the ancient ancestors of the human race!

What, like that man from We Are History? That was pretty funny.

I wanted to be a celebrity historian, wowing my public with half-remembered facts from basic textbooks. It seems that dream is dead.

You had to do a History degree to learn THAT!? Haven't you ever seen Oliver? "Consider yourself, one of us"

Seems I'm doing a history degree for nothing, then. And all I want is the love and affection of the British public.

Ah, I see you've answered your own question there ;)

In the good old days of the industrial revolution, back when factory owners could still whip their employees, only men used to get to go on the cotton spinning machines. Women and children weren't trusted. Interesting, no?

Only the manliest of men spin the threadiest of threads. They should incorporate it into the world's strongest man contest.

I think 'Terri' was a she.

But then again, thread spinning is a man's game, so you could be right.
