Hey, do me a favor? Balance these traffic cones on your chin while skating backward
on high heels and swinging a pool-sized hula hoop around your body! They’re wacky, they’re
random, and they’re all world records! See for yourself…
The most traffic cones balanced on the chin Keisuke Yokota smashed that record with 35
cones! They may seem small, but that many together weigh more than a bicycle! It took
him only one attempt to pull it off.
The fastest time running on all fours Hands and feet runner Kenichi Ito trained
for 10 years and mastered his technique by studying Patas monkeys. He crossed the finish
line of a 100-meter dash (330 ft) in 16.87 seconds and broke the record…for the 3rd
time!
The farthest tightrope walk in high heels Oxana Seroshtan set this record in 2014. She
walked a 25-ft rope, turned around, and walked it again! That’s almost the length of a
bowling lane.
The loudest bark Think your neighbor's dog is too loud? A golden
retriever named Charlie can bark at 113 decibels – that's louder than a car horn! A little
more, and Charlie would “outsound” a jet taking off!
Largest bubble gum bubble The behemoth bubble was blown by Chad Fell
in 2004. It was 20 inches in diameter – twice the size of a soccer ball! And Fell says he
used only 3 pieces of gum to do it.
The biggest house of cards 218,792 cards, 44 days in construction, and
you have yourself a room-sized copy of The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao, and Sands
Macao. If you're record-breaker Bryan Berg, of course. He also made the tallest house
of cards: 26 ft, over 2 stories tall.
The fastest typing with the nose Try to type the 103-character text I’m reading
to you now using only your nose in less than 40 seconds. Record-holder Davinder Singh could
do it! Apparently without getting snot all over the keyboard too!
The most bottle flips in a minute Daniel Kennedy decided to become the best
bottle flipper in the world – his effort won him a world record for flipping 39 bottles
in 60 seconds.
The longest marathon drumming . oh boy! Steve Gaul drummed for 134 hours and 5 minutes
straight. That’s 5½ days! Wouldn’t you love to be his neighbor?
The fastest bed It’s a custom-built motorized one, and Tom
Onslow-Cole got it up to almost 84 mph! Would you go for a ride on it? Let me know down
in the comments!
The largest sculpture… made of margarine 6 ft tall, 4 ft wide, and 8 ft long – it’s
half the size of a concrete mixer and weighs as much as a car. This Indian chef and his
team worked day and night to sculpt the beautiful margarine masterpiece! A word to the wise:
Don’t be a “butter-fingers” when carving margarine!
The loudest purring cat A cat named Merlin can purr as loud as every
pet’s greatest enemy – a vacuum cleaner. Almost 68 decibels!
The longest beard Sarwan Singh has a record-breaking 8-ft-long
beard! The longest in history, grown by Hans N. Langseth in the early 20th century, was
twice that length – you could jump rope with it!
The largest parade of alpacas It happened in Peru in 2019 and consisted
of 1,048 fluffy long-necked animals and their owners. Fun fact: alpacas with short curly
sheep-like hair are called “huacaya,” and the ones with long straggly locks are
known as “Suri.”
The tallest sandcastle Could very well be a REAL castle! This thing
was 60 ft tall – that’s nearly 6 stories! It took a whole team of sand artists a month
to complete and required 11,000 tons of sand – that’s heavier than the Eiffel Tower!
The fastest skating backward…on heels Let me add: on 5-inch heels! Wasn’t a problem
for Bianca Rossini, who did a 100-meter dash (almost the length of an entire football field)
in 21 and a half seconds.
The lowest limbo skate Young Shristi Sharma of India skated while
doing the splits and ducking under 25 barriers standing just 7 inches off the ground! Oh,
and she held that position for over 82 feet, more than the length of a semi.
The longest hair on a teen Another record-holder from India is Nilanshi
Patel. Measuring 5 ft 7 inches, her hair is probably longer than most adults are tall!
The most stairs climbed on the head Li Longlong used nothing but a small pillow
on his head to go up 36 steps. No hands, no nets, or strings – just pure neck-power.
The most books typed backward 4,126,624 words across a total of 78 books…from
finish to start! That's how dedicated Michele Santelia was to set his own record. And when
typing, he didn't even look at the screen!
The largest pillow-fight 7,681 people – a whole stadium’s worth!
– sharing in the fun that is swatting someone with a soft cushy pillow! Imagine having to
clean up all the feathers after that…
The longest bicycle ever made It's 136 ft long – the length of 4 school
buses! And the thing is actually functional – it can go the length of a football field
without any stabilizers. Only, you’ll need lots of friends to help you ride it!
The heaviest weight lifted with the little finger
It was 242 lbs, and this guy, whose name I can’t hope to pronounce (Suren Aghabekyan)
pulled it off! Think you could hold 2 entire stoves with one pinkie? Yeah, me neither…
The longest nose Mehmet here has a record-breaking 3.5-inch
sniffer, measured from bridge to tip! Just for comparison, the average nose is about
2 inches long. So that’s a honker!
The most canned drinks opened by a parrot. No, I’m not kidding.
In 2012, a macaw named Zac opened 35 soda cans in 1 minute. Actually, Zac is a pretty
famous bird: he can ride a bike, skateboard, and say 100 words. He also holds another Guinness
Record for the most basketball slam-dunks by a parrot! I guess that would make Zac a
poly-record-holder. Ha ha. Okay…
The largest human dominoes It consisted of 2,019 people and 2,019 mattresses.
Each person stood with their back to the soft cushion, they were all lined up, the first
volunteer was pushed, and it was nothing but laughs and tumbles from there! And the number
isn’t random – the record was set in 2019.
The fastest motorized toilet Colin Furze made this thing and took the record
when he drove it a bit over 53 mph. “Why?” you ask? Because he could!
The most rotations on a chair in 30 seconds Yep, there’s a record for the thing you
do in your computer chair when you’re bored! Benjamin Sohal managed to get in 40 spins
in half a minute. How dizzy he was after that, you’ll have to ask him!
The longest time singing one note Richard Fink IV made this possible by singing
continuously for 2 minutes and 1 second straight.
The heaviest “mantle” of bees Ruan Liangming wore a “bee suit” weighing
over 140 lbs. It took 637,000 of the buzzing insects to break the record. The man said
the key to avoiding stings is staying calm while the bees are on your body. Yeah, I bet!
I wonder if his wife calls him “Honey”?
The largest pizza Looking more like a colorful hockey rink than
a pizza, this nearly 13,600-square-foot pie was made by Dovilio Nardi and his team. And
as a bonus, it’s all gluten-free!
The most bridesmaids at a wedding A couple from Sri Lanka invited 126 bridesmaids,
25 best men, 20 ring-bearers, and 23 flower girls. Hope they had enough cake to feed everyone!
Hey, hope they’re still married!
The biggest hula hoop ever spun To get the record, you have to spin it at
least 3 times without letting it touch the ground. Getti Kehayova had to wear a protective
vest to do that with her massive 17-ft hoop!
The most arrows caught by the hands Catching just one arrow is already too extreme
for most of us, but Joe Alexander caught 15 of them in a single minute. He also caught
43 arrows with his bare hands in 2 minutes.
The longest solo rowing trip Erden Eruç spent 312 days at sea and went
from Bodega Bay, California to Papua New Guinea. ALL the way across the world’s largest ocean
– the Pacific takes up 1/3 of the planet!
The most flavors of ice-cream recognized in a minute
David Rush can identify 11 flavors of his favorite frozen dessert in 60 seconds while
blindfolded. Think you could do that one? Boy, that’s one I’d like to try!
