Everyone has heard about the Guinness Book of Records. And everyone knows that here are collected a variety of achievements of the most ordinary people from all over the world. However, in addition to the impressive achievements of the human mind and spirit, there are funny and stupid Guinness records. Someone is trying to become famous or to make money, another is simply eccentric and does not hesitate to show his weirdness, others do something out of love for this occupation.
For the attention of the readers it is presented small overview absurdities with which the Guinness Book of Records is rich. Silly records are quite common there.
Strong ears
There are two people in this nomination: Lasha Patareya and Zafar Gill. The first set his own record by dragging a truck on his left ear. The weight of the car was 8.28 tons.
Gill is an athlete from Pakistan who is able to lift a sixty kilogram weight on his right ear. An ordinary cord was used to secure the load. Zafar himself weighs only 90 kg, trains regularly and calls his specific occupation “ear-lifting”.
The longest…
Vivian Wheeler holds the longest female beard champion title. An American woman has to collect it in a ponytail, since individual hairs reach 28 cm. An unusual decoration for a woman.
Sarvan Singh - the owner of the longest. So that it does not touch the floor, the priest must stand on a pedestal. The beard length is 2.33 m.
Hairdresser-fashion designer Katsuhiro Watanabe put his art into practice. He is the owner of the world's longest Mohawk. The height of the hairstyle is 113.284 cm.
Mattel is a Chinese toy company. Its employees showed special love for the railway and assembled a track with a total length of 2888 m.
The most attractive ones do not always look attractive. silly photos show all achievements without embellishment. Most people run at the sight of some champions. For example, among fans of growing fingernails, two distinguished themselves at once: Melvin Booth and Lee Redmont. The total length is 9.05 m and 8.65 m, respectively. Curled nails hanging down to the floor can be terrifying.
It is not immediately possible to answer the question "how many people will enter the soap bubble?" However, the artist Fang Yang checked in practice and installed another useless and stupid record... He managed to fit 181 people inside the bubble.
The fastest
And even in running, you can be the original. And not only in him. So, the stupidest speed records.
One of the funniest records is the obstacle course with fins. It was installed by the German woman Maren Zenker, having covered a hundred-meter distance in 22.35 seconds.
Japanese Kenichi Ito ran 100 meters in 17.47 seconds. It would seem nothing out of the ordinary. He only covered this distance on all fours.
High speed can be demonstrated while sitting on the toilet. The main thing is that the device is equipped with a motor. The world record was set by Canadian Jolene Van Vugt, who managed to reach a speed of 75 km / h.
The fastest unbuttoning bras are German - Thomas Vogel. Maybe this is not the stupidest Guinness record, but unexpected is for sure. Achievement of a German citizen - 56 bras per minute.
The most massive
Everyone knows the Smurfs well, but how many will dare to dress up in such a costume? It turns out that the gnomes have a lot of fans. Especially in Ireland, where on July 18, 2008, record number man in the form of the Smurfs - 1253!
In Riga a month earlier, the entertainment was different: almost 2,000 people arranged fountains of soda. It is very simple to arrange the fun: 1-2 Mentos candies are thrown into a bottle of cola, the mixture is shaken and the lid is opened. As a result, a sweet fountain rushes into the sky. Perhaps this is not only the stupidest Guinness record among events, but also the most fun.
Quite amusingly, the holiday was celebrated on March 8 in Michigan in 2013. Here, in the city of Grand Rapids, 607 people put chicken beaks on their faces. In this form, they were on the street for 11 minutes and 39 seconds.
The invasion of Santa Claus is observed annually. But in Derry, they took to the streets in an orderly and simultaneous manner. As a result, Guildhall Square was overcrowded: it barely fit 13,000 Santas!
The most compact
28 London girls managed to fit into one car, and even a mini car! How did they manage it, and where did they pack themselves?
Another record was also set by the fair sex. American Katie Jung is literally an aspen owner, since her torso girth is 53.3 cm.If Katie wears a corset, she will become even thinner: 38.1 cm.
Is there power, where to apply it?
Georges Kristen became the winner in the 10-meter distance. The Luxembourger walked this distance, holding the table with the girl sitting on it in his teeth, in just 7.5 seconds! An advertisement for toothpaste with Georges will look very convincing.
Faster and better than anyone else, a resident of the United States, Scott Murphy, rolls pans into a roll. It took him 30 seconds to bend the roasting object. The remains of the frying pan have been significantly reduced in size: 17.46 cm in girth instead of 30 cm in diameter.
Another American is excellent at handling wooden Kevin Shelley - the only person in the world who can knock 46 toilet seats with his head at once. Perhaps he has a special technique?
Men generally treat their heads in a strange way. They use them to set the stupidest records. Another record holder distinguished himself by smashing 80 on his forehead chicken eggs in a minute. This, of course, is not breaking a tree, but Ashrita Furman has earned an impressive cone.
Collectors
That only people do not collect! In addition to the usual and usual hobbies, there are very extravagant ones. For example, Ben Barker, an Australian citizen, has been collecting ... trash from the navel for 26 years! During this time, he managed to accumulate 22.1 g.
The next unusual collection is the collection of 8,888 Do not disturb tablets. The Swiss Jean-François Vernetti specially stayed in various hotels and took away memorial signs with him. Since 1985, he has visited 189 hotels.
On its own wave
There are also absolutely stupid records, but at the same time they are very original. It is difficult to categorize them, so it is better to talk about such achievements separately.
For example, the amazing achievement of the sword swallower, who managed to keep the included 38 kg perforator in his mouth for 3 seconds!
You can do other things with a construction tool. For example, 141 rotations are the revolutions that a person will hold on to a hanging working drill.
Perhaps the stupidest Guinness record was set by Ken Edwards. He became famous as the best cockroach eater. In 1 minute, Ken is able to chew and swallow 36 pieces.
The representative of Germany, Anita Schwartz, ran 40 meters, holding 19 large mugs of beer in her hands. At the same time, she managed not to spill a drop! On the days of Oktoberfest, this skill can come in handy.
The stupid Guinness records do not end there. Each year, more and more oddballs apply, hoping to record their achievement. Therefore, it makes sense to periodically flip through the book in search of large originals. Indeed, as practice shows, stupidity can be great.
The Guinness Book of World Records is one of the most authoritative sources, encyclopedias, reference books, capable of confirming certain words, resolving a particular dispute.
The main purpose of the book is reliable information about record achievements of people and animals, unique natural phenomena, outstanding achievements of show business, media and culture ...
