A little boy in San Francisco put Pete Townsend to shame, and all for a pair of free sneakers and a chance to get his name on a Web site. He didn't point police to another secret cache of kiddie porn, but he did smash the world record for guitar windmills.

The kid, Spencer Borbon, maniacally whizzed his arm around in a circle 79 times in 30 seconds, beating the previous world record of 72. The whole thing was part of the San Francisco Treasure Island Music festival, where the Universal Record Database was walking around recording video of people breaking world records.

Even if Borbon's shoulder will never be the same, at least he has his place on the Internet. That is, until another, younger kid gets hyped up on bug juice and takes him out.
