Ananova reports that Pope to be met by 25 mile Mexican wave:
More than 250,000 people will attempt the world's biggest ever Mexican wave when the Pope visits Mexico.Whew! When I first read the headline, I thought things were getting even worse at the border. It's OK though, we have the Seattle Marines on patrol.
The 25-mile Mexican wave will be performed along the route that Pope John Paul ll will take when he visits Mexico City.
It is hoped to make the Guinness Book of Records which currently lists a three mile Mexican wave by 3,222 people on the South Downs as the biggest.

The Mexican wave was first made popular by fans of Seattle Marines baseball team but got its name when it was picked up by football fans at the 1986 Mexcio World Cup.
