10 stupidest world records

By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/10-stupidest-world-records.htmlMany of us dream of becoming famous, but they can't boast of anything outstanding. Someone chooses a career, trying to reach unprecedented heights in it, someone concentrates on creativity, and someone tries to stand out by setting extraordinary world records. However, the word "extraordinary" is hardly suitable to characterize many of the very dubious achievements listed below. Let's be honest: these are the 10 dumbest world records. See for yourself.
This, of course, is not sawing an assistant with a saw during an illusionist's performance, but it is also quite risky: in 2012, Bipin Larkin and Ashtra Furman set a new world record for cutting watermelons on their stomachs with a machete. They managed to split 48 of these large berries in a minute.
If Robin Bobin Barabek ate forty people, then Frenchman Michel Lotito ate an entire plane. Since childhood, he had a habit of eating something not very edible, including parts from televisions and bicycles and bank cards. Well, the apogee of everything was the Cessna aircraft, which took Michel two years, from 1978 to 1980.
What about the biggest dog wedding? No, it's not about what you think. In 2007, Jill Cobb led a ceremony during which 178 dogs said "yes" to each other and happily barked fervently.
The fastest bed-making is even cool. Andrea Warner, the manager of one of the English hotels, made a huge double bed faster than anyone in the world. She spent only 74 seconds on it.
Filipino Gerard Jess set a new world record with the help of... gases from his intestines. Simply put, Gerard farted and extinguished the candles. Well, let's applaud, because he managed to extinguish as many as 5 candles. An amazing achievement of human thought.
Well, this talent may even be useful to its author in some way: the British teacher Jill Drake managed to shout with a volume of 129 dB.
You know, shouting loudly and making the bed quickly is still a good thing, because it can be used for something in real life. Do you like to plant snails on your face? Fin Keheler, an 11-year-old American from Utah, planted 43 snails on his face.
This guy really has balls of steel! Kirby Roy sustained a serious blow in the framework of a rather painful competition: MMA fighter Justice Smith struck him in the crotch at a speed of 35 km / h and a force of 498 kgf.
Les Stewart always wanted to set some kind of record, but, unfortunately, did not possess any outstanding talent. However, he did not lose his head and decided to print numbers from one to a million words. Yes, that's right, he typed "one, two, three" and so on, until he stopped at the cherished goal of "nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, one million." This important task took 16 years and 7 typewriters.
That's it, finish. We have reached the King of the stupidest records. Meet Ashrita Furman. He got into the Guinness Book of Records as the person who set the largest number of world records, including 27,000 jumps with claps over his head, the fastest 1-mile run with a baseball in his hand and jumping on the world's smallest pogo stick (a stick with a spring). In total, Ashrita has 551 world records. Okay, some of them are really impressive. Respect, Mr. Furman!
