¶ … land of "Whatisit?" was very upset. The more they tried to become the smartest and most knowledgeable nation in all of Googleland, the more that other states jumped ahead of them. They did not know what to do. Already, their children could memorize 300 books by the time they were five. They could recite all the rules of grammar in 500-page grammar book, spell every word in the 15-pound wikidictionary, and count forward and backwards to 100,000.

Yet still the other nation states were ahead of them in all the tests. They said it was because they knew how to enjoy the books, write stories and use the numbers to compute math problems. "What a waste of time" said "Whatisit?" And they made their children make a list of everything they saw every day in alphabetical order, learn how to spell every word backwards as well as forwards.

Yet still the other nation states were more educated. They said it was because the used what they learned to make their lives better, to do their jobs and take care of their families. "What a waste of time" said "Whatisit?" And they make their children multiply six numbers by six numbers, practice multiple-answer after other multiple-answer and true- an-false after another true-and-false test.

Yet they were still not the smartest nation. So they sent out an ambassador to look all over the land for the best way to become the smartest and most knowledgeable state. After traveling for several days, the ambassador came across a boy who was standing on his head and reciting the alphabet and time table. He had a big medal on his chest saying, "The Best." The ambassador was so impressed he did not ask the boy why he was doing this and did not find out it was for the Book of Guinness Records. The ambassador could not wait until he returned and told everyone the trick to being "The Best." Within one week every boy and girl from kindergarten to seniors in college were taught how to stand on their heads for the whole day while they recited all the data they had learned. Everyone in "Whatisit?" was really excited. "Now we will be a head of everyone!" they all said.
