on the steps of Trafalgar Square in London recently for the launch of the 2009 edition of the Guinness World Records book.

Oh no,
The latest edition of the book lists pop star Britney Spears as the most-searched person on the Internet and the television show "Lost" as the most-downloaded show of all time.
