Extreme Guinness World Records

It’s human nature we love to push our limits. Whether it’s a world record in the Olympics or just a personal challenge in our backyard, with every passing year new records are broken and the bar is set increasingly higher. 

Whatsup 254 has compiled not the common fastest, longest and farthest but the craziest, most abnormal records on the books. These are

1. Most body piercings

Elaine Davidson, a Brazilian who lives in Scotland, set the record for most body piercings at 4,250.

2.  Farthest eyeball pop

Kim Goodman of the U.S. can pop her eyeballs to a protrusion of 11 millimeters (0.43 inch) beyond her eye sockets. Her eyes were measured on the set of the television show “Guinness World Records: Primetime,” in Los Angeles on June 13, 1998.

3. Longest fingernails, both hands

Melvin Booth (left) of Troy, Mich., had a combined fingernail length is 9.05 meters (29 feet, 8.3 inches). 

Lee Redmond(right), who had not cut her nails since 1979 and had them carefully manicured to reach a total length of 8.65 meters (28 feet, 4.5 inches), lost them when they broke off in a car accident in February.

4. Stretchiest skin

Garry Turner of Great Britain is able to stretch the skin of his stomach to a length of 15.8 centimeters (6.25 inches) due to a rare condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissues affecting the skin, ligaments and internal organs. The collagen that strengthens the skin and determines its elasticity becomes defective, resulting in, among other things, a loosening of the skin and hypermobility of the joints. In more serious cases, it can cause the fatal collapse or rupturing of blood vessels.

 5. Longest beard

The beard of Sarwan Singh of Canada measured 2.33 meters (7 feet, 8 inches) from the end of his chin to the tip of the beard, as of Nov. 11, 2008.

 6. Heaviest weight pulled with eye sockets

The heaviest weight pulled with the eye sockets is 411.65 kilograms (907 pounds) and was achieved by The Space Cowboy, aka Chayne Hultgren of Australia, on the set of “Lo Show Dei Record” in Milan, Italy, on April 25, 2009.

7. Hairiest man

Victor “Larry” Ramos Gomez, pictured, and Gabriel “Danny” Gomez (both of Mexico) are two of a family of 19 that spans five generations all suffering from the rare condition called Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis, characterized by excessive facial and torso hair. The women are covered with a light to medium coat of hair while the men of the family have thick hair on approximately 98 percent of their body, apart from their hands and feet.

8. Swallowed earthworms.

C. Manoharan of India first set a record for swallowing 200 earthworms in 30 seconds. He also tried to set a record by flossing two snakes through one nostril.

9.Balanced spoons.

Achieved by Aaron Caissie from Canada, he managed to balance 17 spoons on his face at one time.

10.Buried alive

Zdenek Zahradka of the Czech Republic survived 10 days buried in a coffin underground with no food or water and only a breathing pipe connecting him to the outside world. The previous record was 4 days.
