Rosa,

Who was the previous record holder?

I went to Rice, and we have this annual thing called Beer Bike, and I was always told it's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) water balloon fight in the world.

3000 undergrad students spend 2-3 months filling up water balloons in the bathrooms. The 9 dorms (now there are 10 or 11 residential colleges that everyone, both on and off campus, are assigned to) each rent two huge flatbed trucks (the dump truck size) and load up at least 20 huge plastic trash cans filled with water and water balloons.

I know the school paper is probably not a verified source as a professional newspaper would be, but I think my university should contact Guinness to straight this out. This article is also from almost a decade ago:
