39,897 was the number of people who gathered this Saturday at Mexico City’s famous Zócalo to take part in a group smooch (el megabeso), easily beating the UK’s 2007 record when 32,648 people kissed in Weston-super-Mare.

¡Sí, se puede!

(Now we only have to find a way to beat the gringos at soccer. But I guess that’ll have to wait.)
