The most ridiculous and funny records from the Guinness Book of Records. The most stupid records from the Guinness Book of Records
This week died - 21-year-old He Pingping. He felt chest pain while filming a TV show in Italy. Pingping suffered from dwarfism, due to which he could not grow more than 73 cm. The Guinness Book of Records recognized Pingping as the smallest person on earth. Last November, Records Day was held, in which people from all over the world could register their records. Collected in this issue are photos of record holders, world records and their attempts.

Shi Ping broke the previous record set by his compatriot in 2002. The weight of the previous record was 26.8 kilograms. In 2009, Lindsey Morrison and Jack Tsonis set the handshake record.
Men stayed in this position for more than a day. However, the citizens of Nepal in 2011 defeated the record holders: the handshake lasted more than 42 hours.

The desire to become famous and famous pushes some people to perform the most incredible "feats", including the most stupid world records, which you will find out in our today's list!
10. Most Candles Extinguished by a Gasper: 5
Filipino Gerard Jesse broke the world record by releasing gases. Mr. Jess, the video of which you will find below, blew out 5 candles with flatulence, a long pipe and a very courageous friend.
9. Hardest hit to the groin: 35.41 km / h
This guy has balls of steel... literally! Kirby Roy is the recipient of the most painful award on this list - the hardest punch to the groin.
Mr. Roy endured a nearly 500 kg (498.95 kg) punch from "American gladiator" mixed martial artist Justice Smith at 35.41 km/h.
The video below explains the "science" of getting hit that just makes you cringe.
8. Loudest scream: 129 decibels
This "talent" can be useful, but setting a record for the loudest scream is still very stupid.
For 6 years, the current Scream Queen was Annalisa Flannagan, a teacher from Northern Ireland, who in 1994 became the owner of the Guinness Record for shouting the word "Quiet!" ("Quiet!") at 120.7 decibels is louder than the sound of a jet engine.
However, in 2000, her record was broken by British teacher Jill Drake, who screamed with a force of 129 decibels. Watch the video below, don't forget to turn down the volume.
7. The fastest woman to make a double bed: 74 seconds
Andrea Warner, a hotel manager from England, used her skills to set the record for the fastest double bed made in 74 seconds.
During this time, she put a sheet on the mattress, tucked the duvet into the duvet cover, buttoned it, tucked two pillows into the pillowcases, and laid out a decorative rug.
6. Most face snails: 43
If the ability to make a bed and scream loudly can somehow come in handy in life, then the rest of the abilities on this list can be safely attributed to the most useless.
11-year-old American Fin Kehler from Utah set the silliest record for the most snails on his face.
On his 11th birthday, he allowed his friends and neighbors to cover his head with slimy creatures that stayed on his face for over 10 seconds.
They submitted their video to the Guinness Book of Records, but even there they considered it complete nonsense to put this useless achievement on the list of world records.
This record requires a machete to cut a watermelon in half, and a very brave person who believes in you, whose stomach will serve as a cutting board.
The current record was set in New York in 2012 by Bipin Larkin and Ashrita Furman. It is unlikely that any of you would like to see what happened to the losers.

The Frenchman Michel Lotito has a nickname - "Monsieur Eat Everything". It has been with him since he was a teenager. Michel knows how to eat indigestible objects, eating things like bicycles, televisions and even shopping carts, breaking them into small pieces and washing them down with mineral oil and water.
But his most senseless achievement is the plane, eaten by him all - piece by piece. It took the Frenchman 2 years, from 1978 to 1980.
3. Biggest dog wedding: 178 pairs
This stupid record really took place. In 2007, Jill Kobe hosted 178 dog marriages where participants barked "Yes" when asked, "Are you ready to be husband and wife?"
The dogs all met (and are presumed to have fallen in love with) during a speed dating session organized before the ceremony.

Les Stewart decided to become a record holder, however, he did not have special talents, with the exception of two: he could count and had incredible patience.
The result is the dumbest world of all time: Stuart typed in words the numbers from 1 to 1,000,000. Yes, yes, that's right: "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven ..." until it reaches "nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine, one million."
It took the man sixteen years and seven months, seven typewriters, one thousand rolls of ink ribbon and nineteen thousand eight hundred and ninety sheets of paper (see what he brought us to?).
1. The man who set the most stupid world records
Finally, we'll introduce you to the King of Stupid Records! Ashrita Furman! In fact, he got into the Guinness Book of Records as the holder of the most world records.
He created 27,000 puppets, ran the first mile with a baseball bat balanced on his arm, jumped on the world's smallest pogo stilts. In all, he set a total of 551 records. Yes, we agree, some of them are really impressive. Hello Mr Furman!
