A Sri Lankan attempt to set a world record for the largest gathering of twins may have failed Monday after an unexpectedly large turnout overwhelmed organizers who vowed to try again. Organizers said the huge turnout meant they were unable to meet strict guidelines set by Guinness World Records. Getting them all to go through a single entry point was not easy,” Sri Lanka Twins spokeswoman Wasana Ranasinghe told Agence France-Presse (AFP). Some twins traveled for hours just to be part of the record attempt. Two army generals, Jayantha and Pooraka Seneviratne, led a contingent of twins in the Sri Lankan military.
