The most idiotic records from the Guinness Book with photos. The most unusual records from the Guinness Book of Records (52 photos)

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. Some are trying to become famous or earn money, others are simply eccentric and are not shy about showing their oddities, others do something out of love for this activity.

Readers are presented with a short overview of the absurdities with which the Guinness Book of Records is rich. Stupid records are quite common there.

Strong ears

There are two people nominated in this category: Lasha Patareya and Zafar Gill. The first one set his record by dragging a truck on his left ear. The weight of the car was 8.28 tons.

Gill is a Pakistani athlete who can lift a sixty-kilogram weight on his right ear. A regular cord was used to secure the load. Zafar himself weighs only 90 kg, trains regularly and calls his specific activity ear-lifting.

The longest…

Vivian Wheeler holds the title for longest female beard. The American woman has to put it in a ponytail, because individual hairs reach 28 cm. An unusual decoration for a woman.

Sarwan Singh is 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 longest mohawk in the world. 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 stupidest photos do not always look attractive; they show all the achievements without embellishment. Most people run when they see some champions. For example, among those who like to grow their fingernails, two distinguished themselves: Melvin Booth and Lee Redmont. The total length is 9.05 m and 8.65 m respectively. Curled nails that hang 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 Fan Yang tested it in practice and set another useless and stupid record. He managed to fit 181 people inside the bubble.

The fastest

And even in running you can be an original. And not only in him. So, the stupidest speed records.

One of the funniest records can be called a race with fins with obstacles. It was established by German Maren Zenker, covering the hundred-meter distance in 22.35 seconds.

Japanese Kenichi Ito ran 100 m in 17.47 seconds. It would seem that there is 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 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 person to unfasten bras is the German, Thomas Vogel. This may not be the stupidest Guinness record, but it's definitely unexpected. Achievement of a German citizen - 56 bras per minute.

The most widespread

Everyone knows the Smurfs well, but how many would dare to dress up in such a costume? It turns out that dwarves have a lot of fans. Especially in Ireland, where on July 18, 2008, a record number of people dressed as Smurfs took to the streets of the town of Castleblayney - 1253!

In Riga, a month earlier, they had fun differently: almost 2,000 people had soda fountains. The fun is very simple: throw 1-2 Mentos candies into a bottle of cola, shake the mixture and open the lid. 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 was celebrated in a rather interesting way in the state of 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 every year. But in Derry they took to the streets in an organized and simultaneous manner. As a result, Guildhall Square was overcrowded: there was barely room for 13,000 Santas!

The most compact

28 London girls managed to fit into one car, and a mini one at that! How did they manage to do this, and where did they get there?

Another record was also set by a representative of the fair sex. American Katie Jung is literally the owner of an aspen, because her torso girth is 53.3 cm. If Katie wears a corset, she will become even thinner: 38.1 cm.

There is power, where to use it?

Georges Christin became the winner in the 10-meter distance. The Luxembourger covered this distance, holding a table with a girl sitting on it in his teeth, in just 7.5 seconds! A toothpaste advertisement featuring Georges will look very convincing.

US resident Scott Murphy rolls pans faster and better than anyone else. It took him 30 seconds to bend the frying object. The remains of the frying pan were significantly reduced in size: 17.46 cm in girth instead of 30 cm in diameter.

Another American is excellent at handling wooden ones. Kevin Shelley is the only person in the world who can smash 46 toilet seats with his head at once. Perhaps he has a special technique?

Men generally have a strange attitude towards their heads. They use them to set the stupidest records. Another record holder distinguished himself by breaking 80 chicken eggs on his forehead in a minute. This, of course, is not to break a tree, but Ashrita Furman earned an impressive bump.

Collectors

What don’t people collect! In addition to ordinary and familiar hobbies, there are some very extravagant ones. For example, Ben Barker, an Australian citizen, collected... 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 8,888 “Do not disturb” signs. Swiss Jean-François Vernetti specially stayed in various hotels and took away memorial signs with him. Since 1985, he has visited 189 hotels.

On your own wave

There are some completely stupid records, but at the same time very original ones. It is difficult to categorize them, so it is better to talk separately about such achievements.

For example, the amazing achievement of a sword swallower who managed to hold a switched-on hammer drill weighing 38 kg in his mouth for a full 3 seconds!

You can do other things with construction tools. For example, 141 rotations is the number of revolutions that a person can hold while hanging a 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 Schwarz, ran 40 m while holding 19 large mugs of beer. At the same time, she managed not to spill a single drop! During Oktoberfest, this skill can come in handy.

The stupid Guinness records don't end there. Every year, more and more weirdos apply, hoping to record their achievement. Therefore, it makes sense to periodically leaf through the book in search of large originals. After all, as practice shows, stupidity can also be great.
