Eggs-tremely confusing

So who is it that holds the eggs standing on end record - the Taiwanese group who stood 1972 eggs - or The Egg Man, aka American Brian Spotts who traveled from Colorado for his 15-hour Guinness Book of Records attempt, during which he stood a (poultry) 439 eggs on end? A quick check of the Guinness Book of Records provided no answers, but perhaps I was using the wrong search parameters ... but I did find out that the oldest whole mammoth unearthed was from 23,000 years ago and the Guinness site (go there, type "egg" - with no quote marks - in the search field and then select OLDEST INTACT MAMMOTH from the search results - truly!!) says he has been transported to a cave and is being thawed out with hairdryers.
