The annual Guinness Book of World Records is full of breathtaking feats of human endurance, perseverance and achievement. However, the strangest records are the most interesting, and the world is full of them.

From the very long tongue in the world to the world's biggest eyes, the Guinness Book of World Records never ceases to entertain and amaze us. This book, created in 1955, has its own records. It is the world's best-selling book and the most stolen book from libraries across the UK and the US.

The 2015 edition contains stunning records that make this year's edition different from all previous editions. For example, this year the book describes a woman who can crush 8 apples in one minute with her biceps. The book also lists the longest jump ever made by a cat, the largest guitar that can be played, and the largest golf club that can be used. This publication includes the tallest teenager in the world, who, apparently, wears shoes that are larger than the size of Shaquille O'Neal's shoes, as well as the man with the largest Afro hairstyle and the man with the largest collection of comics .

However, in this list, we have collected the best and strangest of them. Below are the fifteen strangest world records recorded by the Book of the Worlds.

15. The tallest mohawk in the world

Kazuhiro Watanabe is the proud owner of the tallest mohawk in the world. The height of his giant mohawk is 113.28 centimeters, which is 30 centimeters higher than that of his predecessor.

It took Watanabe 15 years to grow this mohawk, and his daughter vows that she will someday beat her father's record. In order to keep his mohawk firmly on his head, Watanabe uses the services of three barbers who spray three cans of hairspray and a huge bottle of hair gel on him.

The record holder says that all his life he dreamed of getting into the Guinness Book of Records. He said that once he even considered getting into the Guinness Book of Records by drinking the most a large number of sauce Tabasco (Tabasco), but instead decided to get into the book as the owner of the largest mohawk. Without the gel, his hair reaches him.

The largest high-heeled shoe reaches a height of 185.42 centimeters and a length of 195.58 centimeters. She is the brainchild of fashion designer Kenneth Cole (Kenneth Cole) and Jill Martin (Jill Martin) from the TV show "Today Show".

The shoe is made in the likeness of Kenneth Kohl's shoes, which can be bought in New York for $225. Jill always wanted to "break the world record". So she decided to do it in collaboration with Kenneth and hired the services of Izquierdo Studio to make the biggest shoe in the world.

After her replica was completed, a Guinness World Records judge reviewed the record claim and the huge shoe became the world's largest high-heeled shoe. She surpassed the 111.76 cm tall and 182.88 cm long model that held the record for 15 years and was created by Edmund Kryza.

13. The largest number of bees on human body


This strange record has been set countless times, but the current record holder is Gao Bingguo, a Chinese beekeeper.

Before setting this record, Gao thoroughly bathed, as bees usually bite those people who emit an unpleasant smell. He then sat on a chair and was first covered with queen bees to attract the worker bees.

In two and a half hours it was completely covered with over 300,000 bees. This is approximately 33 kilograms of bees. After the insects were removed from him, Gao said that he had been bitten 2,000 times. Official representatives of the Guinness Book of Records presented him with a plaque with a world record. Thus, he broke the record previously held by She Ping.

12. Most large cluster people dressed as penguins


How many people do you think? 14, 90, 120? In fact, the correct answer is 373.

373 representatives of the Richard House hospital from the UK gathered at Wood Wharf in London dressed as penguins to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the largest gathering of people dressed in penguin costumes.

They broke the record set a year earlier by 48 people. Although this record is rather odd, it is actually meant to sponsor a noble cause, the Richard House Children’s Hospice, which helps children and adolescents with terminal illnesses.

In addition to penguins, the Guinness Book of Records also recognizes gatherings of people dressed in turkey costumes, with 661 attending the largest gathering of this plan. A gathering of people dressed as turkeys marked the 44th Annual Idea Run organized by the Youth Christian Association and sponsored by the Annual Capital One Bank Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot in Dallas, Texas.

11. The farthest thrown ball thrown backwards

Thanred Law (Thunder Law) of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team holds this strange record. He set it up by throwing the ball, standing with his back to the basket, at a distance of 25 meters and 5 centimeters from it. For basketball fans, this is just an incredible feat.

Lo broke the previous record set from a distance of 22 meters in a unique event that marked the tenth annual Guinness World Records Day. It is also interesting that he threw the ball so perfectly that he did not even hit the board on which the basket was fixed.

Thunder Law also holds the record for the longest shot in basketball history, although he set the record facing the basket. He threw the ball into the basket from a distance of 33.44 meters from the basket. This record was set a year earlier, on the ninth annual day of the Guinness Book of Records. A representative of the Guinness Book of Records was present at both events to verify the feat and present the player with plaques with his records.

10. Biggest National flag in the world


Loyalty to one's country can be expressed different ways, but creating the world's largest flag is certainly an impressive way to showcase patriotism.

Qatar holds the record for the largest national flag in the world. The flag, created by its residents, covers an area of ​​9383 square meters, which is comparable to the area occupied by seven and a half Olympic-sized swimming pools.

It broke the previous record by as much as 1950 square meters. As part of the celebration national day Qatar's National Day 2013 Guinness World Records representative was specially invited to Qatar from the UK to test and present the record, aptly named "Flag of Gratitude and Devotion".

This was done in front of a huge crowd of people, which numbered 2,000 people who took part in a colossal project of planning and creating a flag. After the celebration, 200,000 were made from the flag school bags for schoolchildren from 60 countries.

9. The largest number of naked people riding an attraction in an amusement park


It was a noble cause to set this absolutely bizarre record. On August 8, 2010, 102 people gathered on the Green Scream roller coaster at Adventure Island, Essex, UK, to raise funds for Bosom pals, an organization dedicated to helping women diagnosed with breast cancer. None of those present were dressed.

They had to ride the rollercoaster three times, as only 40 people can fit in one ride. The record has been successfully set. Its establishment raised £22,000 which went to the Breast Cancer Department at Southend University Hospital. Most of the participants were affected in one way or another by the disease.

One of them, elderly woman, said she took off her clothes to raise money for her sister, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000.

8. Fastest 100-meter race on all fours

Running on all fours can be very challenging task for a man, but not for the Japanese Kenichi Ito. Ito, running the 100 meters on all fours in an impressive time of 16.87 seconds.

Kenichi, who was born in 1982, came into the spotlight of the media mass media when he set the record for the fastest 100m on all fours in 2008. Since then, he has improved his own record three times, and no one else has even come close to it.

So how many years does it take to be able to accomplish such a strange feat? Kenichi says it took him more than a decade to develop a running technique that mimics the movements of the African hussar monkey. He improved his method by reading books about animals, visiting several zoos, and watching videos. In addition, he, of course, spends a lot of time on training.

7. The largest number of spoons held on the human body


Oddly enough, it recognizes the record for the largest number of spoons held on the human body. At the moment, the Georgian Etibar Elchyev holds the record.

The kickboxer broke the record by attaching 50 spoons to his chest and around his neck. Etibar originally planned to break the record for the most spoons attached to the face, which currently belongs to Aaron Caissie. Aaron was able to keep 17 spoons on his face.

Etibar, also known as "The Magnet Man," added that he plans to break many more records, such as moving an airplane and an empty train car with his bare hands. His human magnetism, as well as the ability to magnetism of Aurel Răileanu, Brenda Allison and Ivan Stoiljkovic, amazes many, but scientists say that the ability to attach different substances and things to the body has nothing to do with magnetism.

6. The largest number of people spinning the hoop at the same time


The Ministry of Health in Bangkok, Thailand, decided to involve people in setting the record for the most people spinning a hoop at the same time. In February 2013, 4183 people took part in this event. They actually managed to set this record.

Initially, 4580 people were supposed to take part in the event, but 397 of them were disqualified for not meeting the requirements. Seyda Subasi-Gemici, a spokesperson for the Guinness Book of Records, who oversaw the event, confirmed that the participants simultaneously twisted the hoop for seven minutes.

This strange record was previously set in Taiwan, when 2,496 people spun the hoop at the same time for five minutes. The purpose of the event was to educate the people of Thailand about the need to include simple physical exercises, such as hoop training, in their everyday life.

5. Most people eat breakfast in bed


At the Shangri-La Pudong Hotel, 388 people participated in the "largest breakfast in bed" event.

All of them were representatives of More Than Aware, an organization that raises funds to fight breast cancer and raise awareness about this disease. 388 participants were served noodles, croissants and fruit in bed. They broke the previous record of 288 people. That event was held as part of an event organized by the Association women's health(Association of Women's Health) in Australia.

The event was held in a huge hotel reception area and included both foreigners and Chinese people of all ages.

4. The longest human nails

Singer Chris ‘The Dutchess’ Walton stopped cutting her nails 22 years ago. As a result, her nails grew to such a length that she was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the woman with the longest nails.

Even though her nails sometimes get in her way, this mother of five says she can cook, clean the house and even play the piano. The hardest thing for her is to climb into her own pockets or vacuum, as the wires get tangled in her nails.

When asked why she decided to grow such long nails, she exclaimed that it was the same as growing long hair or a beard. Other contenders who also made it into the Guinness Book of Records for long nails are Lee Redmond, Shridhar Chillal and Melvin Feizel Boothe.

3. The largest number of darts caught underwater after a spear gun

Anthony Kelly is a phenomenon. This is a bestselling author and holder of more than 25 Guinness World Records, as well as the person with the fastest reflexes in the world. He is known as the "Arrow Catcher" due to his impressive reflexes.

His ability to notice and catch objects moving on high speed, brought him a particularly unusual record - for the largest number of darts caught underwater after firing a spear gun at a distance of 2 meters from him.

Kelly caught 10 darts in celebration of Guinness World Records Day 2014. If that doesn't strike you as odd, how about the fact that he also broke the record for the most tennis balls caught in one minute in live on TV. In 2014, he broke the record for the most coaching licenses in a variety of sports including kung fu, tai chi and rugby.

2. The most apples crushed by a bicep in one minute

Lindsey Lindberg is also known by her stage name Mama Lou. She is considered one of the strongest women in the world and holds the record for the most apples crushed with her biceps in one minute. Mama Lou can crush eight apples with her biceps in 60 seconds.

Linsey got fed up with her job as an accountant and left her to join the circus after realizing just how powerful she was. She began to think about what unique way she could use her power in the circus.

The strong woman began to bend pans in half, tear catalogs in one fell swoop, hammer nails with her fist, inflate hot water bottles until they burst, and finally stopped at crushing apples with her biceps.

1. The longest golf club

Karsten Maas from Denmark has created the world's longest usable golf club. The length of this ridiculous stick reaches 4.38 meters. It can launch a golf ball at a distance of 191 meters.

The golf professional admits that his invention is impractical because the weight and length of this golf club makes it difficult to hit the ball. He notes that people won't see him on the golf course with this huge club since he doesn't have a caddy.

Maas is one of the new Guinness World Record holders of 2015 and also the holder of one of the most strange records that can only be found.

On May 4, 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then Managing Director of Guinness Brewery, went hunting in Wexford County, Ireland.

The first edition of the 197-page Guinness Book of Records appeared on August 27, 1955, and by Christmas it had already become the most popular book in the UK.
Since the release of the first edition, over 400 million copies have been sold. The latest published book is Guinness World Records 2010.
