great idea, I'd love to see bitcoin immortalized in print in the Guinness Book
well let us file for it then . who should do that ? Satoshi or andreson ? umm maybe me ! 
I know a lawyer in New York who's probably already filed for the record.
I'll file as long as it's free. which, I doubt.
Instead of doubting just go and read

How much do I have to pay when I make my record attempt?
Generally, nothing! The only time Guinness World Records might expect payment is if you need to use our Fast Track service – and if members of our staff have, by arrangement, attended your event.
Also, while all successful record breakers receive, free of charge, a certificate recognizing their achievement, we do make a charge for any additional copies if they're requested.

We certainly seem to deserve that spot 
we are 25 times or so as fast as folding@home. By far the most powerful distributed computing network there is. Maybe we should claim the world record.

http://bitcoinwatch.com says we are at: 149796 tera flop/s (149 Peta flop/s?) not at 25 petaflop/s as you claim.
EDIT:
Iam correct on this right?
Damn thats just so much faster then the fastest super computer out there (K-computer - 8.1 Petaflop/s)
