5. The largest collection of navel down. If you choose among the most unusual collections, this one wins by a huge margin. In 1984, an Australian began to collect the fluff that accumulated during the day on his navel. Twenty years later, the weight of his collection reached 22 grams.

Since the release of the first edition, over 400 million copies have been sold. The latest published book is Guinness World Records 2010.

The book, where records are made, is very popular, almost every person on our planet knows about it. People from all over the world try to achieve complex, difficult records, but some go in an unusual way. As a result, ridiculous records are created that can only cause a smile.
How far will the burning man run?
Now there is a record for more than 119 meters. A very strange and risky record was set and registered.
Who was the first to vomit in space?
We can be “proud” of our cosmonaut German Titov, it was with him that this trouble happened in 1961. The Hero of the Union went through very difficult training and preparation, but the load in space is staggering. The man has achieved many positive achievements, for example, he was the first to shoot video and photos of the Earth from a handheld device.
Non-standard use of a drill
Everyone has a neighbor who is always drilling. A man from Germany did not drill for repairs, he created a new record. Taeyu Khui Jang used the tool as a carousel and managed to spin 148 revolutions within a minute. How he endured it, and how bad he felt afterwards, is unknown.
The dumbest book ever
What to spend 16 years of your life on? Les Stewart did not think of anything better than writing a huge book (nearly 20,000 pages). In the process, 7 printing presses and about 1,000 ink ribbons were worn out. The contents of the book are numbers from one to a million. Absolutely pointless and stupid creation.
Quick release bras
How much time do you spend taking off your bra? Sean Murray set a stunning record: he managed to remove 91 pieces of laundry in one minute. At the same time, he operated with one hand.
How many records can 1 person set
Starting in 1979, Ashrita Furman set about setting records. He personally came up with a lot of tricks in various disciplines. For example, he used the largest boot by weight, twisted a huge hula hoop, etc. All his achievements are absurd.
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. Someone is trying to become famous or make money, another is simply eccentric and does not hesitate to show his oddities, others do something out of love for this occupation.
The attention of readers is presented with a small overview of the absurdities that the Guinness Book of Records is rich in. 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 dragging 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 kettlebell on his right ear. An ordinary cord was used to secure the load. Zafar himself weighs only 90 kg, trains regularly and calls his specific occupation "ear-lifting".
The longest…
Vivian Wheeler holds the title for the longest female beard. An American woman has to collect it in a ponytail, because individual hairs reach 28 cm. An unusual decoration for a woman.
Sarvan Singh - the owner of the longest. So that it does not touch the floor, the priest must stand on a pedestal. The length of the beard 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 canvas with a total length of 2888 m.
The most stupid photos do not always look attractive and show all the achievements without embellishment. Most people run at the sight of certain champions. For example, among those who like to grow fingernails, two distinguished themselves at once: 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 Fang Yang tested in practice and set another useless and stupid record. He managed to put 181 people inside the bubble.
The fastest
And even on the run, you can be the original. And not only in it. So, the most stupid speed records.
One of the funniest records can be called an obstacle course in fins. It was installed by a German Maren Zenker, who covered a hundred-meter distance in 22.35 seconds.
Japan's Kenichi Ito ran the 100m in 17.47 seconds. It would seem nothing out of the ordinary. Only he overcame 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 unbuttoning of bras is the German - Thomas Vogel. Maybe this is not the most stupid Guinness record, but unexpected - that's for sure. Achievement of a German citizen - 56 bras per minute.
The most massive
Everyone knows the Smurfs, but how many dare to dress up in such a costume? 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 form of Smurfs took to the streets of the town of Castleblaney - 1253!
In Riga, a month earlier, entertainment was different: almost 2,000 people arranged 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 most stupid Guinness record among events, but also the most fun.
The March 8 holiday in Michigan in 2013 was rather amusingly 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 streets in an orderly manner and at the same time. As a result, the Guildhall Square was overcrowded: 13,000 Santas barely fit in there!
Most compact
28 London girls managed to fit in one car, and even a mini-class! How did they manage to do this, and where did they ram down there?
Another record was also set by the fair sex. American Katie Jung is literally the owner of an aspen, because the girth of her torso is 53.3 cm. If Katie puts on a corset, she will become even thinner: 38.1 cm.
There is power, where to apply it?
Georges Christen won the 10m. The Luxembourger covered this distance, holding a table with a girl sitting on it, in just 7.5 seconds! A toothpaste ad featuring Georges will look very convincing.
The fastest and best roll of pans is a resident of the United States, Scott Murphy. It took him 30 seconds to bend the frying item. The remains of the frying pan are significantly reduced in size: 17.46 cm in girth instead of 30 cm in diameter.
Another American is excellent at handling wooden Kevin Shelley - the only person in the world who can break through 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 breaking a tree, but Ashrita Furman earned an impressive bump.
Collectors
What people do not collect! In addition to the usual and familiar 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 extraordinary collection is a collection of 8888 "Do not disturb" signs. The Swiss Jean-Francois Vernetti specially stayed in various hotels and took commemorative signs with him. Since 1985 he has visited 189 hotels.
On your wave
There are also completely stupid records, but at the same time very original. It is difficult to put them into any category, so it is better to talk separately about such achievements.
For example, the amazing achievement of a sword-swallower who managed to keep a turned on puncher weighing 38 kg in his mouth for 3 seconds!
With a construction tool, you can do not such things. For example, 141 rotations are revolutions that a person can hold on to a hanging working drill.
Perhaps the most stupid Guinness record was set by Ken Edwards. He became famous as the best eater of cockroaches. In 1 minute, Ken is able to chew and swallow 36 pieces.
The representative of Germany, Anita Schwarz, ran 40 m, holding 19 large mugs of beer in her hands. However, she managed not to spill a single drop! In the days of Oktoberfest, such a skill can come in handy.
The stupid Guinness World Records don't end there. Every year more and more weirdos apply, hoping to record their achievement. Therefore, it makes sense to periodically flip through the book in search of large originals. After all, as practice shows, stupidity can be great.
