Flexible students at University College Dublin in Ireland have broken the world record for the largest mat used in a game of Twister.

The 1,438 square-meter mat (or about 4,717 feet, for those who aren't metric-system-inclined) beats the University of Oklahoma's previous record of a 1,411.8 square-meter mat, or about 4,631 square feet, The University Observer reports.

We love that college students are taking a time out for some serious fun (and fundraising -- the event collected money for five university organizations), but we have to say that we're none too pleased that a U.S. university's record was broken. So, to all you bend-y college students out there, it's time to break a record!
