We Didn’t Know These Weird Guinness World Records Even Existed Until Now

Most likely, you are familiar with Guinness World Records, or the Guinness Book of World Records, as it was formerly known. Guinness World Records is a yearly reference book that lists world records for both human accomplishments and the extremes of the natural world. It was first published in 1995. Since then, Guinness World Records has grown to be the best-selling copyrighted book in the entire world, and with every new edition, we learn about even stranger and more incredible records, just like the ones we’ve listed here!

Stretchiest Skin

Due to a rare medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which affects the connective tissues and results in loosening of the skin and hypermobile joints, Garry Turner has been the proud owner of this record since 1999.

Stretchiest Skin

Stretchiest Skin

Accordingly, Mr. Turner can stretch the skin on his stomach up to 6.25 inches without experiencing any pain. The British performer was a part of The Circus of Horrors in 2005 and is currently a sideshow performer.

Most Body Piercings

Some records cannot be broken because some people are born with a one-of-a-kind trait or physical quality that no one else can match (see Mr. Turner and has stretch skin).

Most Body Piercings

Most Body Piercings

Sometimes, like with Elaine Davidson, it’s a matter of finding someone who is prepared to endure a great deal of discomfort and/or adorn themselves with numerous piercings. The Brazilian has 462 body piercings, a record, including 192 on her face and 214 in her pubic area.

Most Big Mac Burgers Eaten in a Lifetime

Although McDonald’s addicts can be found all over the world, none can compare to Donald Gorske of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The record for the most Big Macs consumed in a lifetime is held by the 67-year-old “Big Mac enthusiast,” who has consumed a staggering 28,788 of them.

Most Big Mac Burgers Eaten In A Lifetime

He eats about 14 of these burgers each week and claims that 90–95% of his total intake of solid food is made up of Big Macs. Interestingly, Mr. Gorske claims to have a cholesterol level of 140 despite only weighing 185 pounds and standing 6’2″.

Largest Rubber Band Ball

It’s amazing how much use the average person can get out of something so basic and seemingly pointless as a rubber band. After constructing a 9,032-pound monster rubber band ball, Joel Waul set the record.

Largest Rubber Band Ball

Then, in 2008, he was granted a place in the Guinness World Records. Mr. Ward constructed his 6-foot-7-inch ball, which he called “Megatron,” out of 700,000 rubber bands of various sizes.

Longest Plank Held

Many people who exercise in the gym or practice yoga are familiar with the plank position. Get into a push-up position and rest your weight on your forearms rather than your hands; that’s all there is to it.

Longest Plank Held

Longest Plank Held

Holding it is challenging because your abdominal muscles can quickly become taxed. Unless you’re Mao Weidong of China, who in 2016 stood on a plank for eight hours and one minute.

Heaviest Onion

Given that people all over the world have managed to create gigantic-sized items, ranging from doughnuts to Doritos, you won’t be surprised to learn that food has its own category in the Guinness World Records.

Heaviest Onion

Heaviest Onion

With an onion that weighed 18 pounds, 11.84 ounces, Tony Glover of North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom set a world record in 2014. Can you picture the tears you’d shed if you cut that object?

Heaviest Object Sword Swallowed

A sword is passed through the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach by a sword swallower. Despite the name, the act can apparently be carried out with a Dewalt jackhammer among other things.

Heaviest Object Sword Swallowed

Heaviest Object Sword Swallowed

We are aware of this because, in 2007, Thomas Blackthorne sword-swallowed a jackhammer weighing 83 pounds, 12 ounces, holding its entire weight for more than three seconds. He was awarded a world record for swallowing the heaviest sword as a result of his feat.

The Woman With The World’s Largest Natural Breasts

Annie Hawkins-Turner, the woman with the world’s largest natural breasts. Annie is wearing a special bra tailored for her size, American 52, weighing 30kg each. Just for reference, at the age of nine, she was already wearing a size 36D.

The Woman With The World’s Largest Natural Breasts

The doctors are still suggesting breast reduction surgery be Annie keeps refusing: “I don’t want to mess with nature. As my breasts grew the muscles in my back developed and supported them.”

Longest Fingernails

There are many people who have a habit of biting their nails; some do it out of laziness or boredom, while others do it out of stress or due to boredom.

Longest Fingernails

Longest Fingernails

Lee Redmond has grown her nails out for 30 years, beginning in 1979, so she obviously doesn’t have either of those issues. If you add up the length of all her fingernails, they are 28 feet and 4 inches long. That sets a significant new world record.

Largest Collection of Guinness Memorabilia

As one might expect, the largest memorabilia collection has its own category in the Guinness World Records. People will gather and store a wide variety of things, and their stockpiles can get pretty large!

Largest Collection Of Guinness Memorabilia

Largest Collection Of Guinness Memorabilia

Louis Georgiou of the UK, as an example, has 2,111 items related to the Transformers! The largest collection of Guinness World Records memorabilia, however, holds a record! There are 2,164 different items that Martyn Tovey of Radstock (also in the UK) has.

Heaviest Weight Lifted by a Human Beard

There is a ton of information in Guinness World Records about the heavy lifts that men, women, and kids have accomplished for various objects. But Antanas Kontrimas of Lithuania holds the record for the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human beard.

Heaviest Weight Lifted By A Human Beard

Heaviest Weight Lifted By A Human Beard

Back in 2013, Mr. Kontrimas used his facial hair to lift 63.80 kg. Additionally, his beard has allowed him to bear the weight of an adult. Wow, those hair fibers are sturdy!

Loudest Burp

People’s bodies are capable of incredible great achievements. Such skills can be seen on display after years of dedicated training, typically at least at sporting events such as the Olympics.

Loudest Burp

Loudest Burp

Some people spend their entire lives honing their skills in preparation for a single dive, gymnastic routine, lift, or, as in the case of Mr. Paul Hunn, a single burp. Back in 2009, Hunn let loose a burp that was 109.9 decibels loud. Hunn’s burp is louder than a large orchestra, to put that in perspective.

Longest Moustache

Sporting an epic beard or a sharp mustache is all the rage these days and for good reason. After all, the term “beard” stands for being unique among regular dudes.

Longest Moustache

Longest Moustache

Therefore, Ram Singh Chauhan from Jaipur, India went against the grain and allowed his mustache to grow for more than 37 years, while some men strangely prefer to go clean-shaven. The outcome was a 14-foot mustache that earned him a world record in 2010 that is still valid today.

Fastest Time to Eat a Bowl of Pasta

In the 21st century, we all know someone who, after eating, behaves more like a manic animal than a person. However, it turns out that they might be able to make a living as a competitive eater.

Fastest Time To Eat A Bowl Of Pasta

Fastest Time To Eat A Bowl Of Pasta

Elite competitive eaters can easily earn $500,000 per year in earnings from sponsorships and winnings (food for thought, eh?). Michelle Lesco, a fast eater who competes, set a world record by devouring a bowl of pasta (100 grams plus sauce) in just 26.69 seconds.

Most Consecutive Pinky Pull Ups

During this period of quarantine lockdowns imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many people all over the world have been forced to turn to home workouts, with some achieving fantastic results. However, they would still need to work hard to match Tazio Gavioli’s abilities.

Most Consecutive Pinky Pull Ups

Most Consecutive Pinky Pull Ups

Congratulations on your one-arm pull-up, but you still have a ways to go to impress us, friend. The Italian currently holds the world record for consecutive pinky pull-ups with 36 reps.

Largest Ping Pong Paddle

Are you sick of losing the weekly office ping pong tournament to the same opponent every time? Want a surefire way to triumph in every game you play going forward? Well, just construct a huge paddle!

Largest Ping Pong Paddle

Largest Ping Pong Paddle

Rise Brands built a paddle that is 11 feet, 7.8 inches tall, and six feet, 7.8 inches wide in Columbus, Ohio in 2017. That is undoubtedly not the standard size.

Most Toothpicks in a Beard

Beards are more than just fashionable facial accents that enhance all men’s appearances. They also serve practical functions, such as serving as a nest for rescued birds or a convenient container for items like tooth pictures.

Most Toothpicks In A Beard

Most Toothpicks In A Beard

3,500 toothpicks were able to fit inside Joel Strasser’s beard in 2018. He completed it in three hours and 13 minutes, but his efforts earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Most Tattooed Man

Many people have several tattoos. Some people even go so far as to cover their arms, legs, and/or back with permanent ink, creating a tattoo “sleeve.” But even those who have numerous tattoos cannot compare to Gregory Paul McLaren, popularly known as Lucky Diamond Rich.

Most Tattooed Man

Most Tattooed Man

The New Zealander has spent more than 1,000 hours having tattoo artists alter his body, as well as having his earlobes stretched and his teeth covered in silver veneers.

Farthest Arrow Shot Using Feet

Even with our feet, most of us would have trouble shooting an arrow a fair distance! However, some people are simply more skilled at archery than the typical person.

Farthest Arrow Shot Using Feet

Farthest Arrow Shot Using Feet

Brittany Walsh holds the title of “a solo hand balancing artist” and holds the acrobatic archery Guinness World Record. In 2018, Walsh launched an arrow with her feet alone that traveled a remarkable 40 feet, 4.64 inches!

Largest Hula Hoop Spun by a Female

It seems that you either have it or you don’t when it comes to hula hoop spinning. To become an expert hula hooper, though, sometimes all it takes is a lot of practice, like with anything else. However, how much practice must Getti Kehayova have put in to spin a hula hoop with a circumference of 17 feet and .25 inches?

Largest Hula Hoop Spun By A Female

Largest Hula Hoop Spun By A Female

In reality, Kehayova spun the hoop while wearing a protective vest, almost breaking a couple of ribs in the process. However, she did break a record by successfully spinning the enormous hoop at least three times.

Largest Humanoid Vehicle

A vehicle having a body designed to imitate the human body is called a humanoid vehicle. In essence, picture a Transformer in its “natural” state.

Largest Humanoid Vehicle

Largest Humanoid Vehicle

Numerous people have succeeded in building humanoid cars over the years, but none are as large or as stunning as Sakakibara Kikai’s Mononofu from Japan. The imposing vehicle is 28 feet tall and almost seven tons in weight. The vehicle, dubbed “Mononofu,” which means “Samurai Warrior,” was created over the course of six years.

Man Covered by Most Bees

Many of the records in the Guinness World Records are completely insane, which says something about the person or people who set them. Who, after all, would voluntarily let a beehive rest on them for any period of time?

Man Covered By Most Bees

Man Covered By Most Bees

That would be Gao Bingguo. In 2015, a Chinese beekeeper who covered himself in about 1.1 million swarming bees weighing a whopping 109 kg (240 pounds) broke the previous Guinness World Record. More than 2000 bee stings later, his body temperature reached above 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).

Longest Kiss

Public displays of affection, or PDA, are not for everyone. especially if a couple is kissing for a very, very long time. For a world record attempt, we’ll excuse it, though.

Longest Kiss

Longest Kiss

The current world record, set by Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand, stands at an absolutely ridiculous 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds, so if you’re hoping to smash it, you’re going to need some major stamina.

Most People in a Large Car

Anybody who has ever gone on a road trip with a large family or group of friends knows how cramped it can get, especially if you’re driving a small vehicle.

Most People In A Large Car

Most People In A Large Car

The 41 individuals who fit into a Toyota Rav 4 at the Toyota Centre Krasnoyarsk Zapad (Russia) in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, are likely not claustrophobic. They most likely would not have been able to establish this strange but still outstanding world record if not for that.

Largest Hairy Family

Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis is a very rare skin condition marked by modest and asymmetric hair overgrowth in females and hair overgrowth on 98 percent of male bodies (excluding palms and soles).

Four people in a family of 19 in Mexico, spanning five generations, all have the condition: Victor Gomez, Gabriel Ramos Gomez, Luisa Lilia De Lira Aceves, and Jesus Manuel Fajardo Aceves.

First Person to Break the Sound Barrier in Freefall

There are many courageous people who have Guinness World Records, but in our opinion, none of them compare to Felix Baumgartner, the first and only person to break the sound barrier while falling freely.

First Person To Break The Sound Barrier In Freefall

First Person To Break The Sound Barrier In Freefall

To demonstrate exactly how much of a legend the Austrian skydiver is, on October 14, 2012, Baumgartner traveled to the stratosphere on a helium balloon and then descended to Earth while donning a unique outfit. In the process, he also broke the world record for the longest skydive, a distance of almost 24 miles, with a high speed of about 843.6 mph, or Mach 1.25.

Tallest Living Human

Although there are many different types and sizes of people, only one man may claim to be the tallest person ever to have lived. Sultan Kösen, who is 8 feet 2.82 inches tall, is that person.

Tallest Living Human

According to Guinness World Records, he is one of just 10 people who have climbed 8 feet or higher and the seventh tallest man in history. Kösen’s acromegaly, which is brought on by a tumor that affects his pituitary gland, is the source of his growth. He walks on crutches because of his health issue.

Shortest Living Mobile Human

Colombian Edward Nino Hernandez is only 22 lbs. tall and measures 72.10 cm, or about 2 feet and 4 inches.

Mr. Hernandez has hypothyroidism, a condition that has hindered his growth. “I use my smile to conquer the world! I always share my big smile with everyone; that’s my charm,” Hernandez told UPI. “I can achieve everything I set my mind to. Everything is possible . . . Size and height don’t matter! I want people to meet who I truly am: small in size, big in heart!”

Longest Time Breath Held Voluntarily

Do you recall the game you and your friends used to play in the pool? Everyone would take turns holding their breath underwater while attempting to beat the previous record. Although most people aren’t professional freedivers like Aleix Segura Vendrell, most people would find it difficult to complete a minute.

Longest Time Breath Held Voluntarily

Longest Time Breath Held Voluntarily

The Spaniard has a record for holding one’s breath for the longest amount of time—an amazing 24 minutes, 3.45 seconds.

Most Roof Tiles Broken in One Minute by a Woman

Have you ever watched videos of martial arts experts and pupils smashing bricks and other heavy things with just their fists? Really impressive, no? Lisa Dennis from the UK, I suppose. decided to step it up by shattering a ton of roof tiles in a single minute. To be precise, 923 tiles.

Only two tiles from the stack Dennis hit during the one-minute time frame were intact after her whole effort.

Most Fingers and Toes on a Living Person

Though having more than 10 fingers and toes may seem like something you’d only see in a science fiction film, polydactylism is a highly uncommon but very real aberration in humans. Although certain cases of polydactyly may be caused by a genetic flaw or underlying hereditary illness, the condition is random, occurring without a clear cause.

Most Fingers And Toes On A Living Person

The record for having the most fingers and toes of any human being alive belongs to Devendra Suthar of India.

Largest Pizza

Pizza is consistently ranked as the most popular food in the world, and for good reason — anyone who disagrees with this statement is insane.

Largest Pizza

Largest Pizza

Of course, some people are more passionate about it than others, and it appears that Dovilio Nardi, Andrea Mannocchi, Marco Nardi, Matteo Nardi, and Matteo Giannotte are the most passionate about it. A pizza with a total surface area of 1,261.65 m2 (13,580.28 ft2) was made by a group of five. The name “Ottavia” for the pizza is a word of Roman origins that means “eighth son.”

Tallest Sandcastle

We typically turn to build sandcastles—or at least trying to—when spending time at the beach with family and friends.

Tallest Sandcastle

Tallest Sandcastle

However, unlike the people at Skulptura Projects GmbH, we don’t often have a team of 12 sculptors and 8 technicians working eight hours a day for three and a half weeks to construct a 57 ft 11 in a tall sandcastle. It was finished in June 2019 and required 11,000 tonnes of sand that was just combined with water.

Farthest Tightrope Walk in One Minute

Since tightrope walks frequently take place at considerable heights and occasionally the performer chooses not to wear a safety harness, they can be unnerving for spectators.

Farthest Tightrope Walk In One Minute

Farthest Tightrope Walk In One Minute

Russian Oxana Seroshtan wisely decided to walk a tightrope at a safe height in her quest to break a world record while wearing heels. With a distance of 24 feet and 7.2 inches, while wearing high heels, she broke the previous record.

Most Human Targets Hit With Plungers in One Minute

Throwing plungers at people would undoubtedly take home the prize if there was a category for the oddest record. However, it can be an indication of Gerhard Doni’s originality in coming up with the record attempt.

Most Human Targets Hit With Plungers In One Minute

Most Human Targets Hit With Plungers In One Minute

In 2010, the German broke his own record by one plunger by throwing (and sticking) 15 rubber-cup plungers to people in a minute.

Longest Duration Balancing on Four Fingers

Bruce Lee was a phenomenal martial artist who was capable of some amazing feats, such as a two-finger push-up. With Wang Weibao’s track record, we wager Lee would have been impressed.

Longest Duration Balancing On Four Fingers

Longest Duration Balancing On Four Fingers

In 2008, a Chinese guy was able to entirely lift himself off the ground using just two fingers on each hand, and he held that position for an astounding 19.23 seconds! You can see how outstanding Weibao’s record is by the fact that it has been in place since 2008.

Have you ever had a snoring complaint from someone? Maybe your companion snores so loudly that it seems to shake the entire home.

Loudest Snoring

Loudest Snoring

So please keep Kåre Walkert’s partner and Walkert herself in your thoughts.

Otto accomplished this feat by skating through the longest human tunnel ever made by a skateboarding dog. Otto passed without being guided or touched through the legs of each individual.

Fastest Time to Wrap a Person With Wrapping Paper

If only we had Coby Cotton, Cory Cotton, and Cody Jones’ abilities, who established the record for wrapping a person in wrapping paper in the shortest amount of time (a team of two), at one minute and 58.9 seconds.

World’s Tallest LEGO Tower

You wouldn’t believe it, but LEGO parts are useful for things other than tearing off your foot’s sole! This tower was constructed in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest and is 114 feet, 11 inches tall, making it essentially every child’s fantasy.

Most Balls Caught by a Dog in One Minute

Why not include a dog that can catch balls into the mix since we’ve already seen one skateboarding? Here is a cute beagle named Purin who broke her own prior record from 2014 by successfully catching the most balls with a dog’s front paws in one minute in 2015!

Guinness World Records stated, “The beagle from Tokyo can also skateboard, walk on two legs, […] and has many other impressive skills.”

The Loudest Purr

You certainly didn’t believe that we would just feature records established by dogs without also including records set by cats, did you? Merlin the cat received a Guinness World Record in 2015 for having the loudest purr.

The Loudest Purr

The Loudest Purr

Domestic cats typically put off 25 dB of noise, but Merlin’s peaks at 67.8 dB, which is loud enough for a shower or even two people conversing! Owner Tracy Westwood claims that she adopted the four-legged furry creature from a rescue.

Longest Coin Spin

Who would have imagined that spinning a coin might qualify you for the Guinness World Records? But it must take some time to master a skill like that. After all, spinning coins requires a certain kind of expertise, doesn’t it?

Highest Jump On A Pogo Stick

Highest Jump On A Pogo Stick

A pogo professional by the name of Biff Hutchinson made it into the Guinness World Records 2018 Edition. Biff, who is from Idaho, owns the record for the highest pogo stick leap at 11 and a half feet, which is double the height of the typical person. Whoa!?

Fastest Typing Time With the Nose
