Writing up the what I've named the Paris Chronicles on the Metro (see yesterday's and the entry of the day before), I visited the all too famous Annie Mole's blog on the London Underground to see if she'd find it interesting as well, being a avid fan of the subway. I stumbled on the way across Geofftech.co.uk, a blog/site concerning Geoff's recent attempts to break the Guiness World record of taking the shortest time visiting all 275 Tube stations in London (read more here). Apparently he succeeded, and all he's waiting is for confirmation from the blokes at Guiness.

This kinda sparked a light bulb in this dim-lit brain of mine, and I thought, why not try it myself here in Paris? So I'm currently in the process of planning my way through the 368 stations on the 14 lines here, starting sometime at 5 am and hoping to finish before 1am. (I think that's how many stations there are, according to this site. Kinda wierd, but would be cool to set myself a name as the first guy to do it. 20 hours should do it, eh? Your comments heartily welcomed.
