Oklahoma Man Boasts Record-Breaking Brick Collection

By all accounts, it would appear this guy and Hot Wings would be best friends.

Oklahoma’s own 87-year-old Clem Reinkemeyer has recently been awarded the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest brick collection! He keeps all 8,882 different bricks housed in a library of sorts where people can come and see them all.

Is there a more inconvenient item to collect?
