13 Craziest World Records You Won’t Believe
#1 MOST STRAWS STUFFED INTO A MOUTH
Believe it or not, someone looked a pile of more than 400 straws and thought, "I can probably jam those all into my mouth."
#2 LONGEST NOSE
Seems strange that bad genetics can help you set a record, but such was the case with Mehmet Ozyurek and his 8.8 centimeter nose.
#3 MOST CONCRETE BLOCKS BROKEN WHILE HOLDING AN EGG
Okay, we get the breaking concrete blocks part, that's impressive - but why on earth would anyone bother to hold a raw egg while doing it?
#4 MOST TIME SPENT INSTANT MESSAGING
Finally, a world record based on being horribly antisocial and spending an inordinate amount of time on the computer!
#5 LARGEST COLLECTION OF NIKE SHOES
Some dude named Jordan Geller has, for whatever reason, decided it would be an awesome idea to college more than 2,500 pairs of Nike shoes to set this record.
#6 TALLEST MOHAWK
Kazuhiro Watanabe has the world's tallest mohawk and we have to ask: how on earth does he get hair product all the way to the top?
#7 MOST VIOLINS PLAYED AT ONCE
This is a record held by a Ukrainian named Oleksandr Bozhyk, and we just have to point out no one said most violins played well.
#8 WORLD’S FASTEST TOILET
Of all the records in the world, this is maybe the most pointless since, last we checked, most of us don't care whether our toilets can zip along at high speed.
#9 FASTEST DOGS ON TRICYCLES
If you're wondering who on earth would even attempt something this bizarre, the answer is, of course, the Japanese.
#10 LARGEST GATHERING OF PEOPLE DRESSED AS SMURFS
On the plus side, it's easy to get in on a record like this, but on the negative side, you'd never want to admit to taking part in a record like this.
#11 BIGGEST RUBBER BAND BALL
It took Joel Waul six years to put together his massive rubber band ball, which weighs nearly five tons, and we're sure his parents are very proud of him - probably for something else.
#12 LARGEST COLLECTION OF BARBIES
A German woman named Bettina Dorfmann owns more than 15,000 Barbie dolls, and we're going to go ahead and guess not a lot of friends to show them off to.
#13 MOST BEES ON A PERSON
Chinese beekeeper She Ping holds the world record by having 331,000 bees on him at once, a record we assume will stand because no one else is insane enough to try to top that.
