IRBID, JORDAN -- If you ask a Jordanian about the Internet, he'll invariably tell you how this college town in the country's north holds the Guinness world record for "the most Internet cafes in a single kilometer."

In fact, the Guinness folks in London say there's no such record. Too bad, because Irbid deserves it.
