It's a sign of acknowledgment, a job well done or a friendly expression of love. If you need one you might want to head over to Ireland where more than 800 students at an Irish school gave each other pats on the back to break a Guinness World Record.

824 students from Willow Park, Blackrock College, and St. Andrew's College formed a chain on the front lawn of Blackrock College this last Thursday and exchanged pats on the back. It was for a good cause serving as a fundraiser for charity Dogs for the Disabled.

Officials said they are submitting evidence from the attempt to Guinness World Records for official recognition. I say "Good for you!"
