What BBN said about it
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Nashville artist and Guinness World Record holder named Prana Kishore has secured five official Grammy entries, according to The National Law Review.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive Grammys. Five! A record holder and a Grammy sweep in one afternoon, and the rest of the industry should be terrified.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentEntries, Dale. Not Grammys. An entry means somebody filled out the form, and I have three PhDs and have filled out plenty of forms.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLet me finish.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIf the form counts as the first step, then the trophy is inevitable. That's just how these things work.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat exactly is the record for?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe data does not say, which is the second time today somebody has been honored for something nobody can name.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen it's the greatest record ever set, because nobody can prove otherwise. Check the seat count, Nina.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFine, I'll tally it. Voters, a few dozen. Seats in the room, a few hundred.
