Every person at least once in his life dreamed of becoming popular. Popularity, loud fame, money, many fans, and just people watching your life with interest - this is what each of us is greedy for, and such is human nature. This crazy race for worldwide fame often pushes people to absolutely stupid, desperate and dangerous actions. Our ranking of the stupidest records in the "Guinness book of records"- a vivid proof of this.
7. Age is just a number
Katie Jung from the USA is 71 years old, but she can hardly be called an old lady. Even at such an old age, this woman can boast of a figure that not all young girls have: her waist circumference in a corset is 15 inches (this is 38.1 cm), and without a corset - 21 inches (53.3 cm). From the age of 38, Katie wears a special belt, which helped her achieve such a "wasp" waist. It's worth noting that before she started wearing this gadget, Katie was just a normal bbw.
6. You can't break a tree with a dull head
American Kevin Shelley became famous for his unusual hobby - punching the toilet seats with his head. Throughout his life, this "woodcutter" broke through only 46 seats. Well, what else to do with them?
5. I wish this gymnast was selling toothpaste
And this is perhaps the most romantic stupid record of all presented in our rating. Georges Kristen from Luxembourg in just 7.3 seconds covered the 10-meter distance ... with a table in his teeth, where his girlfriend was sitting.
4. Lords of watermelons
No matter how absurd it may be, but in the Guinness book there really is such a record that sounds nothing other than "the maximum number of watermelons chopped on the belly in a minute." The record was set in 2012 by Bipin Larkin and Ashrita Furman. To do this, they needed a machete, a watermelon and incredible courage, and maybe even the despair of a girl whose belly served as a cutting board.
3. Velcro for snails
This record will certainly make everyone frown, because it certainly cannot be called aesthetic. 11-year-old American Fin Koehler decided to arrange a very unusual birthday: he asked all invited guests to cover his entire head, including his face, with snails. By the way, this act was considered so stupid that it was even removed from publication in the book of records.
2. Unusual attraction
In every adult, a small child sits all his life, hence the crazy craving for various, even the craziest, types of entertainment: for attractions, jumping from a height and other fun. But this case is something out of the ordinary. The man set a record for the number of revolutions per minute when rotating on a hanging drill.
1. Tasty, probably
Frenchman Michel Lotito ate glass and metal in a wide variety of forms from 1959 to 2007. During the reporting period, Robin Bobin Barabek ate 18 bicycles, 15 supermarket carts, 7 televisions, 6 candelabra, 2 cribs, a pair of skis, a low-calorie Cessna plane and a computer. According to him, he once ate the coffin. Such was the paradoxical case. Later, alas, the coffins brought the match to a draw.
Build a successful career, create a good and happy family, devote your life to creativity, or become famous all over the world by doing an extraordinary act - the personal choice of each person. No one has the right to condemn anyone. However, few will deny that people are pushed into crazy actions by the inability to express themselves through something truly outstanding. This article is not just an entertaining set of facts from people's lives, but also a great occasion to think about the nature of human actions and about psychology in general.
