Everyone has heard about the Guinness Book of Records. And everyone knows that the most diverse achievements of the most ordinary people from all over the world are collected here. 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 make money, the other is simply eccentric and does not hesitate to show his oddities, while others do something out of love for this occupation.
The reader is presented with a small overview of the absurdities that are rich in the Guinness Book of Records. Silly records are found there quite often.
Strong ears
Two people are represented in this nomination at once: Lasha Patareya and Zafar Gill. The first set his record by pulling 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, regularly trains and calls his specific lesson airlifting (from the English. "Ear-lifting").
The longest…
Vivian Wheeler holds the championship title for the longest female beard. The American has to collect it in the tail, because individual hairs reach 28 cm. An unusual decoration for a woman.
Sarvan Singh is the owner of the longest male beard. So that she does not touch the floor, the priest must stand on a pedestal. The length of the beard is 2.33 m.
Hairdresser-designer Katsuhiro Watanabe put his art into practice. He is the owner of the world's longest Iroquois. The height of the hairstyle is 113.284 cm.
Mattel is a Chinese toy company. Its employees showed particular love for the railway and collected a canvas with a total length of 2888 m.
Guinness's most stupid records do not always look attractive, the photos show all the achievements without embellishment. Most people have goosebumps at the sight of some champions. For example, among fans of growing nails on their hands, two at once distinguished themselves: Melvin Booth and Lee Redmont. The total length is 9.05 m and 8.65 m, respectively. Twisted nails hanging 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 Fan Young tested in practice and set another useless and stupid record. He managed to place 181 people inside the bladder.
The fastest
And even on the run you can be the original. And not only in it. So, the stupidest speed records.
One of the funniest records can be called a race in fins with obstacles. It was installed by the German Maren Zenker, having overcome a hundred-meter distance in 22.35 seconds.
Japanese Kenichi Ito ran 100 m in 17.47 seconds. It would seem nothing unusual. 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 should be equipped with a motor. The world record was set by the Canadian Joline 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 - that's for sure. Achievement of a German citizen - 56 bras per minute.
The most massive
Smurfs are well known to everyone, but how many will decide to dress up in such a suit? It turns out that gnomes have a lot of fans. Especially in Ireland, where on July 18, 2008, a record number of people in the image of the Smurfs took to the streets of the town of Castlebleini - 1253!
In Riga, a month earlier they had different fun: almost 2, 000 people arranged fountains from soda. Fun is very simple to arrange: 1-2 Mentos candies are thrown into a bottle of Coke, 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.
The holiday on March 8 in Michigan in 2013 was rather interestingly celebrated. 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 street in an organized and at the same time. As a result, Guildhall Square was crowded: 13, 000 Sant could hardly fit in there!
The most compact
28 London girls managed to fit in one car, and even a mini class! How did they succeed, and where were they rammed there?
Another record was also set by the fair sex. The American Katie Jang is the owner of the thinnest waist, literally an aspen, because her body circumference is 53.3 cm. If Katie puts on a corset, she will become even thinner: 38.1 cm.
There is strength, where to apply?
Only men compete in this category. It’s even hard to choose the stupidest Guinness record from them.
Georges Kristen became the winner at the 10-meter distance. The Luxembourger traveled this distance, holding a table with a girl sitting on it, in just 7.5 seconds! An advertisement for toothpaste with Georges will look very convincing.
Faster and better than all rolls pans into a roll, a resident of the United States, Scott Murphy. It took him 30 seconds to bend the item for frying. The remains of the pan significantly decreased in size: 17.46 cm in girth instead of 30 cm in diameter.
Another American knows how to handle wooden toilet seats. Kevin Shelley is the only person in the world who can break through 46 chairs at once with his head. Perhaps he has a special technique?
Men generally feel strange about their heads. They use them to set the most stupid records. Another record holder distinguished himself by breaking 80 chicken eggs per minute on his forehead. This, of course, is not a tree to break, but Ashrita Furman earned an impressive bump.
Collectors
What only people do not collect! In addition to the usual and habitual hobbies, there are very extravagant ones. For example, Ben Barker, an Australian citizen, has been collecting … garbage from his navel for 26 years! During this time, he managed to accumulate 22.1 g.
The next unusual collection is a collection of 8888 Do Not Disturb signs. Swiss Jean-Francois Vernetti deliberately stayed at various hotels and carried away with them commemorative signs. Since 1985, he has visited 189 hotels.
