9 Stupidiest Guinness Records

Everyone wants to be the best... At least better than others.
Even if you think "That's not true; I don't care if I am best in doing this or that", I am sure you feel glad if people around you admire the things you do very well. Whatever it is.. The way you dress, or the way you make your hair, how fast you can run, how heavy weight you can lift, and so on..
What if people do silly things just to show that they are best in some discipline?
I am going to show you 10 stupid things which people do to join Guinness Records list.

1) World Record for Typing Numbers in Words

ALL NUMBERS FROM ONE TO MILLION TYPED IN WORDS

Les Stewart from Mudjimba (Australia) was writing his odd book for 16 years.

He spent on it:
7 manual typewriters,

1000 ink ribbons,

19 890 pages,

16 years, 7 months


2) World's longest ear hair

It is 5.25 inches long!! (~13.3 cm)
Such a blessing..



3) Most Cockroaches Eaten in one minute

In 2001
Ken Edwards ate 36 cockroaches in one minute

"It’s like having an anesthetic at the back of the throat" said Ken.

Don't you have an appetite for one? ;)





4) Most T-shirts on a man

Matt McAlliste set up the World Record by putting on as many shirts as possible.

The results are:

• 155 used T-shirts,
• the weight of T-shirts: 45kg,
• wasted time: 4 hours.

5) The longest fingernails record

Lee Redmond was taking care of her fingernails for around 30 years!!
The total length of her fingernails was: 8.65 m (28 ft 4.5 in)
On February 11th, 2009 she lost them in a car crash.
Lee Redmond said that those fingernails became her identity and she felt like she lost part of that. Also her grandchild told her after the car crash: "Grandma, they are like your baby; you've taken care of them for 30years and lost them in a second".

6) Heaviest weight lifted by tongue

The greatest weight lifted with a human tongue is 12.5 kg (27 lb 8.96 oz) by Thomas Blackthorne (UK) who lifted the weight hooked through his tongue on the set of El Show Olímpico, in Mexico City, Mexico, on 1 August 2008.

7)The longest distance keeping a table lifted with the teeth

Georges Christen
from Luxembourg ran 11.80 m (38 ft 8 in) holding a 12 kg (26 lb 7 oz) heavy table with a person weighing 50 kg (110 lb 3 oz) sitting on it.


8) Heaviest weight balanced on teeth

Frank Simon from USA balanced a refrigerator for 10 seconds. The weight was 63.5 kg (140 lb).

Here you can see the video where that man balance a scooter for 13 seconds (it had around 62 kg)

9) Furthest Squirting of Milk from the Eye

Ilker Yilmaz from Turkey in 2004 squirted milk from his eye at a record-breaking distance
of 9 feet, 2 inches.
Do you have any idea how he is doing that? I read that it comes in the same way how tears comes from eyes to nose, just inversely.





Do you think such things are really worthy to be beaten? What kind of pride can we have with the longest ear hair or fingernails?? ...Really weird..
