Every person at least once in his life dreamed of becoming popular. Popularity, great fame, money, many fans, and just people who are watching your life with interest - this is what every one of us is fond of, and such is human nature. This crazy race for worldwide fame often pushes people to absolutely stupid, desperate and dangerous acts. Our rating of the most stupid records in the "Guinness World Records"- 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 woman. Even at such an advanced age, this woman can boast of a figure that not all young girls possess: the circumference of her waist in a corset is 15 inches (this is 38.1 cm), and without a corset - 21 inches (53.3 cm). With 38 years Katie wears a special belt, which helped her to achieve such a "aspen" waist. It is worth noting that before she began to wear this device, Katie was an ordinary bbw.
6. You can’t break a tree with a dull head
American Kevin Shelley became famous for his unusual hobby - punching his head with toilet seats. For the whole life this “lumberjack” has pierced only 46 seats. Well, what else to do with them?
5. I wish this gymnast sells toothpaste
And this is perhaps the most romantic stupid record of all presented in our ranking. Georges Kristen from Luxembourg in just 7.3 seconds covered a 10-meter distance ... with a table in his teeth on which his girlfriend was sitting.
4. The overlords of watermelons
It would be absurd, but in the Guinness book there really is a record that sounds nothing like “the maximum number of watermelons chopped on the stomach 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 grimace, because it certainly cannot be called aesthetic. 11-year-old American Fin Koehler decided to have 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 they even removed it from publication in the book of records.
2. Unusual attraction
In every adult, a small child sits all his life, and from there comes a crazy craving for various, even the craziest, forms of entertainment: for rides, high jumps 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 variety of forms from 1959 to 2007. During the reporting period, Robin Bobin Barabek ate 18 bicycles, 15 trolleys from the supermarket, 7 televisions, 6 candelabra, 2 cribs, a pair of skis, a low-calorie Cessna plane and a computer. According to him, he once ate a coffin. Such a paradoxical case was. Later, alas, the coffins drew the match.
To build a successful career, create a good and happy family, devote life to creativity, or become famous throughout the world by performing an extraordinary act - is a personal choice for each person. No one has the right to judge anyone. However, units will begin to deny that people are pushed into insane 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 an excellent reason to think about the nature of human actions and about psychology in general.
