A couple write love messages on a board as they take part in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest love letter in Bucharest on Friday during Dragobete, the traditional Romanian lovers' day which is similar to Valentine's Day. The previous record for the longest love letter was set in the U.S. in 2008 and involved 1,075 contributions.

I'm sorry, but a bunch of scribbled, randomly placed notes on a giant canvas does not constitute a "longest love letter". When in Rome, do as the Romanians do..

    Sandungo....you're right....how silly.....and love is just a chemical reaction in the brain....but I'm more with Paul McCartney ....You'd think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
    But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
    Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
    And what's wrong with that?
    Id like to know, cause here I go again
    I love you, I love you,
    I love you, I love you,
