Most Bizarre Entries in the Guinness Book of World Records
I always wondered how he ate that. Not how he digested that, but the technique. Did he take a bite or did he cut a piece out of it and gulped it down? How were his insides not hurt by the hard metal? Did he "chew"?
Michel Lotito (1950-2007) was a French entertainer aka Monsieur Mangetout ("Mr Eats-All"). He deliberately consumed indigestible objects - metal, glass, rubber and other materials. Between 1959 and 1997 Lotito had eaten nearly 9 tons of metal. He began public performances at the age of 16.
His strange low-calorie diet included:
18 bicycles, a Cessna light aircraft, 15 supermarket shopping carts, 7 T.V. sets, 2 beds, 6 chandeliers, a computer, a coffin, and a pair of skis. He also consumed the brass plaque by the Guinness Book commemorating his abilities. The Cessna 150 took about 2 years to be "eaten" (1978 to 1980).
He didn't suffer injuries and died due to natural causes. He said, however, that bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick. He had an eating disorder known as pica.
The longest fingernails belong to Ayanna Williams, 60, Texas - she has nails with a combined length of 227 inches (18 feet and 10.9 inches).
It took her around 20 years to break the 2018 Guinness World Record for the world’s longest fingernails for a female.
Holland lop Bini netted seven in a minute (trained by Los Angeles-based owner Shai Asor).
Neil Harbisson, 33, is colour-blind and had the antenna fitted to turn light into sound so he can "hear" colors as musical notes.
He's also the first recognized cyborg.
Finally a useful record...
German Andre Ortolf has drunk 416g of mustard from a tube in 30 seconds.
Rip short man
The shortest man is really short - 2ft 5 (73 cm). His name is He Pingping (China). He died at 21.
Great Dane Freddy is 7ft 6in on his hind legs (owned by Claire Stoneman of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex)
Eh, not really bizarre to be honest.
