Unbelievable Guinness World Records You Have to See to Believe
Some individuals gain fame as the fastest athletes, while others make history through groundbreaking inventions or Nobel Prize-winning discoveries. Then there are the eccentric few who earn Guinness World Records for doing things most of us would never even attempt. Here are seven of the most fascinating and bizarre records documented so far.
Most Stretchable Skin
Garry Turner has a rare medical condition known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which allows his skin to stretch remarkably. On October 29, 1999, he managed to stretch his abdominal skin to an incredible 6.25 inches.
Thinking of Mister Fantastic’s stretchy skin from the Fantastic Four? Garry's reality proves such extreme flexibility is possible in real life.
Longest Female Fingernails
How often do you trim your nails? Lee Redmond's nails grew uninterrupted for over three decades, reaching a length of 28 feet, 4.5 inches in February 2008, making her the record holder. Sadly, she lost her record-holding nails after an automobile accident in early 2009.
Most Piercings Acquired
Piercings might make others squirm, but Elaine Davidson embraced it. Starting from her first in January 1997, she accumulated a total of 4,225 piercings by June 2006. Later reports indicate her count increased to over 11,000 by January 2019.
Longest Mustache
Indian barber Ram Singh Chauhan set the record for the longest moustache, measuring 4.29 meters (14 feet) on March 4, 2010. He achieved this while appearing on the Italian TV show Lo Show dei Record in Rome.
Longest Dog Tongue
An adorable St. Bernard named Mochi “Mo” Rickert holds the Guinness record for the longest canine tongue, measuring 7.31 inches. Recorded in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 2016, her tongue is long enough to flap outside a moving car—a truly charming sight.
Longest Female Legs
Maci Currin from the US holds the record for the longest legs of any woman, with her left leg measuring 135.267 cm and her right 134.3 cm, contributing to her towering height of over 6 feet 10 inches. She aimed to inspire tall women worldwide.
Largest Family with Excessive Hair
The Ramoz Gomez family is notable for their rare condition called Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis, causing excessive body hair. In February 2000, four family members set the record for the most hairy family. The women are lightly coated, while the men are covered with dense hair covering about 98% of their bodies. This family has also contributed to genetic research on the condition.
