Might indeed be a record! But since we're here now, this is wrong:

This is the exact opposite. On a BSC/English standard threaded 68mm bottom bracket, the righthand cup is LEFT-threaded and the lefthand cup is RIGHT-threaded. This is because of precession (which happens to be the same reason pedals are threaded opposite BBs - becuase the precession causes different forces on a pedal thread than on a BB thread).
