Weird World Records

Top Twenty Craziest World Records as Recorded by Guinness and Other Resources

I just love weird stuff. Weird facts have always been interesting to me. I don't think that I'd want to go through life without knowing that the world's largest bra measures 78 feet 8 inches. That is huge. Well, I don't want to bore you too much with the intro so let me get to the
 records. I have compiled a list of twenty of my favorite weird world records. I hope you enjoy them. If you are looking for a little bit of fun go ahead and try breaking one. Good luck!

1. Heaviest weight lifted with a human beard: 130.2 lbs by a man in Lithuania

2. Fastest time to solve a Rubik Cube blindfolded: 5 minutes 42 seconds by Ralf Laue in Los Angeles, CA

4. Leapfrog over most standing people: Andy Wiltz leapfrogged over ten standing people at Seaman High School in Topeka Kansas. He got a running start to clear all ten heads in a row.

5. Longest midget toss: Yes, this is actually tossing a little person and it is an annual event. The record is 11 feet 5 inches.

I don't think breaking that tshirt record would be that hard. Maybe when I get some free time I will try it.

Your last paragraph cracked me up. It was all contact info and then a random sentence about ice cream. Good article! We should totally try to break that ball of paint record.
