Their kiss is on Guinness' list ...

Talk about a monster mash. An Israeli couple has earned a spot in "The Guinness Book of World Records" for locking lips longer than anyone else in recorded history.

Ventura says he plans to take Ali's gift with him even after he leaves office. (We can hardly wait.) "If you get it from a stranger, you usually donate it," he explains. "If it was from a friend who was a friend prior to the election, you keep it."

We just hope he doesn't try to use them on his arch foe (and Salon columnist) Garrison Keillor in the meantime ...
