James Cameron, director of Avatar and Titanic, sets world record for solo diving: He set the record diving 5.1 miles below the surface of water in his 24-foot personal submarine, the Deepsea Challenger. Now, the director is preparing for a 6-hour trip to the Mariana Trench’s Challenger Deep, a place so deep that humans have not visited the site in 52 years. He’ll make the trip with a full array of 3D cameras in tow, as well as an 8-foot LED light array attached to the top of the sub, and plans for the journey are being documented by National Geographic.

Back in October, Michelle Obama and 300,265 other people worldwide (including 400 in her direct vicinity) attempted to break a record by doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. The record attempt was successful, Obama said on the “Let’s Move” Web site this morning. We’re totally gonna celebrate by doing some jumping jacks ourselves. Because we’re creative like that. source
