One thing is for sure: there are a lot of strange records in the Guinness Book. And get weird about it! From a cat that balances the most data on its paw to the man with the most cosmetic modifications, the book has it all!
These are records so weird that no one would imagine that such oddities would be in the Guinness Book. But the truth is, they are! And this is precisely what we are going to talk about in this publication.
Are you curious to know more what are the 20 strange Guinness Book records? If yes, then read our text and prepare to be blown away. Surely, even in your biggest creative spurt, you wouldn't imagine the exploits below! Check out!
20. The cat influencer
Have you ever thought about the existence of an influencer cat? Of course not? But know that it exists and its name (in this case, hers) is Nala. On Instagram, she shares tips to increase the number of followers on social networks.
With 4.3 million followers, it looks like your strategy is paying off!
The reason Nala is in the Guinness Book of Records is because she has the most Instagram followers for a cat. Although this record is not a super feat, it is quite unusual, don't you agree?
In addition, it is important to note that gaining millions of followers on the social network is already quite an achievement!
Anyone who uses Instagram professionally knows how difficult it is to build an audience. So, the credit goes to Nala and he deserves to be registered in the record books!
19. Respectful mustache
Mustache is definitely something that imposes respect on a man's appearance. With him, there is no one who lacks credibility. However, as far as the matter is concerned, Indian Ram Singh Chauhan separated the man from the boys.
With an impressive length of 4.29 meters, Ram Singh Chauhan He has the biggest mustache in the world. The question and curiosity that remain is: how does he do to clean all this, huh? There's shampoo for so much mustache!
18. Oddity in the form of a tongue
Let's be honest: there are people with tongues so huge that they are even bizarre! And this is precisely the case of Nick Stoeberl, the man with the longest tongue in the world.
With an impressive 10.1 cm tongue length, Nick saw his name occupying space in the Guinness Book. But also, merit is what you don't lack! Take a good look at the photo above: doesn't it look like it's a snake's tongue because it's so huge?
17. But when having a huge tongue isn't freaky, it's cute
While in humans having a gigantic tongue is bizarre, in the animal kingdom the story is already different. By the way, this is even cute in the pets. AND Mochi “Mo” Rickert don't let us lie!
With a length of 18.58 cm, Mochi is a dog of the Saint Bernard breed and that is present in the Guinness Book due to its language. Her feat was achieved in 2016, but it should be noted that she has the largest tongue among living dogs.
From the history of canine life, this title belongs to the boxer Brandy, whose tongue measured an impressive 43 cm.
16. The real-life curupira
Do you know the story of curupira? A figure in Brazilian folklore, he is an entity from the woods, a boy with long red hair, whose main characteristic is his feet turned backwards.
Although the curupira is a legend, the truth is that there is one among us in real life. Like this?! Calm down and we'll explain!
In the United States, there is a man named Moses Lanham, whose feet rotate 180 degrees. Impressive, isn't it? No wonder this super flexibility is in the record books.
15. Pain, why do I want you?
How about sticking your face with several needles, huh? Stupid idea that must hurt like hell, don't you think? But not for Wei Shengchu, who made it an impressive record!
Born in China, Wei Shengchu became part of the Guinness Book after sticking his face with 2,188 needles on June 11, 2013. So, pain, what do I want you for, right?
14. If covering your face with a needle already hurts a lot, imagine covering your entire body with bees…
There are people who have resistance to pain beyond normal. No wonder this type of anomaly appears in the Guinness Book of Records, as was the case above of the man who stuck the most needles in his body.
However, the record holder below crossed not only the pain threshold, but another one as well.
Chinese Gao Bingguo, 55, set a new world record by covering himself with 109.05 kg of bees.
That is, in addition to dealing with the pain of possible bites, he still had to face allergies, stings and swelling. If covering your face with a needle must already hurt a lot, imagine covering your entire body with bees…
13. Diabetes sent a hug
In the Guinness Book, there is no shortage of broken records involving food.
Whether it's from assembling the biggest hamburger in the world, as we'll see later, to eating x amount of food in a short period of time, there really are loads of strange records in the Guinness Book with this theme.
Among them, that of Kevin Thomas Strahland, better known as the LA Beast. The record holder put his name in the Guinness Book for good after eating 9 extremely “dusty” donuts in three minutes, if we can say so.
We just kept thinking about how thirsty we felt after ingesting all of that… our mouth must have been so dry!
12. The best tennis ball boy that could ever exist
Are you serious: is there a better record holder than Finley Molloy? For those who don't know, he is a golden retriever dog and holder of the record for the most tennis balls held in the mouth by a dog.
The achievement of his record took place on February 23, 2020 and his image holding six tennis balls went viral on the internet. But also, how can you not love this image?
11. The equilibrist cat
Take a good look at the image below and see if it's not impossible not to be enchanted by Bibi, the cat in the photo below.
For those who don't know, he became part of the Guinness Book by perfectly balancing 9 dice on his paw. Too cute, huh?
We're halfway through our text of the strangest Guinness World Records and, as you can imagine, we've saved filet mignon on our list for last. So, curious to see what oddities are to come?
10. Let there be hair for this mohawk
There are respectable mohawks out there. However, none of them compares to Kazuhiro Watanabe, holder of the largest of them in terms of height and length.
Of Japanese origin, Kazuhiro Watanabe won his place in the Guinness Book in 2013 after presenting a lock of 113.5 centimeters in height.
It's quite likely that if we take into account the length of his hair, Watanabe will also become the tallest man in the world, don't you think?
09. To make Coffin Joe jealous…
Nowadays, it is undeniable the fact that it is fashionable for women to wear huge nails. However, there are those who go beyond the limits of what is socially acceptable in search of a huge nail to call their own. It is the case Ayanna Williams.
In her specific case, patience helped Ayanna Williams to conquer these claws that would make any feline envy. It took exactly 20 years to reach this mark of 576.4 cm of nail total, considering the 10 fingers.
No wonder, today she reaps the fruits of her patience and has her name in the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest female fingernails in the world on both hands.
08. The hamburger that would feed an entire population
Without a doubt, if there is one food that is a worldwide passion, it is the hamburger. Often, the passion is so much that some people do some crazy things about it.
Among them, making a huge hamburger that would practically feed an entire population.
Who achieved this feat were the Germans Wolfgang Leeb, Tom Reicheneder, Rudi Dietl, Josef Zellner, Hans Maurer and Christian Dischinger on July 9, 2017.
Together, they took more than 1 hour to assemble this huge hamburger that weighed 1,164 kilos. There's plenty!
07. Near death experience
Definitely crazy about everything. When it comes to breaking Guinness Book records, then they come with strength and blood in their eyes. This is exactly the case with Czech Zdenek Zahradka. You will soon understand why!
To put his name in the Guinness Book of Records, Zdenek Zahradka stayed six feet under the ground for 10 days.
Yes, this is exactly what you read! With no food, no water and in a coffin, breathing through a tube, he broke the record by becoming the longest person buried alive.
What courage - and what madness, let's face it!
06. The biggest mascot dance in the world
No one can deny that Japanese culture has some oddities, especially from our perspective on Brazilian culture. Including one of the strange records in the Guinness Book is the world's biggest mascot dance what happened where? So it is!
This record was broken in 2013 when 134 Japanese mascots kept dancing for 5 minutes.
To make the event even more sensational, the mascots celebrated to the sound of “We are the champions”, by the British band “Queen” when the person responsible for the event announced that the Guinness record had been broken.
Is this scene incredible or not?
05. The man with the most toothpicks in his beard
Of course, this record is also sheer bizarreness: sticking toothpicks in a beard. As unbelievable as it is, this brand exists in the Guinness Book and belongs to Joel Strasser.
Joel Strasser managed to stick an impressive number of over 3,500 toothpicks in his beard. Anyway, what made him do this, we don't know, but there's no denying that this is indeed one of the strange records in the Guinness Book that no one imagines exists.
04. The woman with the most piercings in the world
Yes, my dear readers, we have a Brazilian on this list of strange Guinness World Records! And it belongs to Elaine Davidson for being the most pierced woman in the world.
With just over 50 years of age, the Brazilian Elaine Davidson is in the record books for having more than 9 thousand piercing holes in your body. There are so many accessories that your body carries about 3 kilos more just because of them.
Even so, she says she has no trouble sleeping or any pain when placing each object.
Interestingly, Davidson had her first record set in May 2000, when an official in the Guinness Book of Records examined her, finding 462 piercings on various parts of her body, 192 on her face alone.
Since then, she has turned her hobby into a profession and we already know the rest of her story!
03. The most tattooed man in the world
There are people who are so, so tattooed that it's impossible to stop looking at their tattoos.
However, Lucky DiamondRich he went far in this history by becoming the most tattooed man in the world, with more than 1000 hours of sessions covering his body.
According to the 2006 Guinness, Lucky Diamond Rich is the most tattooed person in the world thanks to his numerous tattoos that cover 100% of his body surface.
There are even tattoos in sensitive places, such as the genitals and eyelids. How much resistance to pain, huh?
Comments aside, it's almost impossible not to relate him to an avatar because of the blue color of his tattoos, isn't it?
Anyway, what we think or don't think about his body doesn't matter, since it's his body and he does what he wants, right... There's taste for everything and who are we to judge!
02. Almost a non-man
Take a good look at the photo below and try not to be impressed! Even after we see the woman with the most piercings and the most tattooed man in the world, it's hard not to be smitten with the look of the person below.
Its about Rolf Buchholz, a German holder of the world record for the largest number of body interventions. To be exact, there are 516 body modifications, which include over 400 body piercings.
Thanks to this huge amount of piercings, Rolf has already faced some problems, including at airports. As you can imagine, he doesn't pass the x-ray unscathed. So, to be released, you have to have a body scan, which is not always a very pleasant moment.
01. Highest votes for a television show
Last of the strange records in the Guinness Book, we could not fail to mention one that was ours: the highest number of votes in a television program. Yes, this record belongs to us!
The “Big Brother Brazil 20” entered the Guinness Book as the television program that received the most votes from the public with the wall receiving 1.5 billion votes.
As there is no limit on votes per CPF, this number represents approximately 7.5% of the population of Brazil. Impressive, isn't it?
