Due to a rare disorder termed voluntary globe luxation, Sidney de Carvalho Mesquita, a Brazilian, can push his eyes out of their sockets by 1.8 cm.

He was nine years old when he first noticed his unusual talent while pulling faces in front of a mirror, according to The Sun.

A woman just won the record for eating the most chicken feet in one minute in a weird Guinness World Record.

Vuyolwethu Simanile of South Africa accomplished the incredible achievement by chowing down a whopping 4.26 ounces (121g) of feet in 60 seconds.

In some parts of South-East Asia, chicken feet are considered to be a delicacy.

During the strange competition, Vuyolwethu defeated the challenges of four other foot-eaters.

Each competitor received 300g of chicken feet in a bowl, and they were only permitted to eat one foot at a time.

The competitors adopted a variety of strategies; some tried to wolf the competition down while others went for more measured and calculated methods.

Vuyolwethu was considered to have had a quiet, unassuming approach.
