If you've seen the movie, I guarantee you're chuckling.</p> <p>Here's the JTA piece - perhaps the staff at j. should try to beat the record...what do you think?</p> <h2>British Jewish group sets pie-tossing record</h2> <p class="byline">August 14, 2009</p> <p>WASHINGTON (JTA) -- A Jewish youth group in Britain set a new world record for largest custard pie fight.</p> <p>The event, which took place Friday in East Mersea, Essex, involved 253 members of the Jewish Lads and Girls Brigade who threw 648 pies in a matter of moments, the Essex Daily Gazette reported.</p> <p>An adjudicator from Guinness World Records attended to affirm the record.</p> <p>Steve Weller, the group's activities coordinator, said the event was organized as a summer camp activity.</p> <p>"Somebody challenged me to break a world record, and custard pies just came into my head," Weller said. "We did have 650 pies to start with, but I think two got eaten."</p> <p> </p>
