Top Cutlines — 10/2/06

Over 12,000 schoolchildren brush their teeth in an effort to set up a new world record of mass tooth-brushing and be registered by the Guinness Book of Records, in Budapest, Hungary, recently. The previous record was set up by 10,800 participants in the Philippines last January. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/MTI, Peter Kollanyi)

Top Cutlines:

1. Not wanting to gum up the record and confused as to why they'd get a plaque, the anticipation crests as school children brush up on the history of the tool, advised that it was probably first used in north Idaho; otherwise it would have been called a teethbrush -- John Austin.

2. The children never knew why accountant Harry Black was hauled away by men in white jackets, screaming endlessly about "Red! Too much red! I'm ruined! Ruined!" -- A Token D.

3. What seemed like a good idea turned disastrous as 12,000 children rinsed and spit -- Paul Ferguson.
