"I really doubt whether all of them have been following the rules of the IGGA (Intercollegiate Goldfish Gulping Association)," Clark said. The record has kept on soaring sky-high, as many a lad has made his fame and fortune. At present Joseph Deliberate is accredited (unofficially) with bringing the title to Clark University by downing $9, eclipsing Gordon Southworth's 67 for Middlesex College...
