Caine Eckstein is an Australian Ironman champion and a Guinness World Record holder. Recently, on the set of the Today show, he completed 4,210 pull-ups in 12 hours. This secured for him the record for the greatest number of pull-ups in both 12 and 24 hours.
To perform this incredible feat, Eckstein did 6 pull-ups every minute for the first 10 hours of his attempt, then 5 pull-ups every minute for the last 2 hours.
Known as one of New Haven’s best kept secrets, the crypt at Center Church on the Green is an ancient cemetery with gravestone dates ranging from 1687 to 1812.
In 1813 Center Church was built over a portion of the town’s burial ground, but all of the remains and gravestones were left in their original positions, with the church’s crypt built to hold and protect them.
In America’s colonial era, thousands of people were buried in a cemetery that is now the Green in New Haven, Connecticut. The Center Church on the Green, as it is called now, was built in 1814 right over top of a section of the cemetery! They set up pillars in the cemetery, and built the church on top, then put fill dirt around the church to make it ground level. That left a “basement’ of sorts for the remaining graves, complete with their original headstones. And it is there still. But that was only part of the large cemetery on the Green. What of the bodies outside of the church?
Yet in true Poltergeist-fashion, when in the 1820s the graveyard was relocated to the new Grove Street Cemetery, only the headstones were moved. By some estimates there are between 5,000 to 10,000 souls still buried below the Green, although one was disturbed during 2012’s Hurricane Sandy when a tree was dislodged from the ground, and a skeleton was found coiled in the roots. Specifically, a skull was spotted just before Halloween with its jaw swung open as if in a silent howl, while a spine and rib cage remained attached.
These lip makeups are a Halloween costume on their own.
