Most records are pretty boring and effortless like the shortest person, oldest people or the longest

legs. But some records require more talent, preparation and determination to pull off. Sometimes it even requires some level of weirdness just to be able to put oneself in the Guinness Book of World Records. In appreciation of the people who have transcended body limits and accomplished equally great and unusual things, here are the top 25 most outrageous feats done with the human body.

1. Surviving extreme cold http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html When talking about challenging temperature, Wim Hof is the guy to look for. Dubbed the Iceman, he was able to run in a marathon in the Artic at minus 29 degrees Celsius, shirtless. He was also able to survive in the outdoors of North Pole for 72 minutes with nothing but shorts. Another feat that his body accomplished because of his Tantric of Tummo tactic that he acquired from the Yogi monks was surviving 1 hour and 44 minutes under ice which of course, earned him a world record. 2. Ridiculous Piercings http://www.cracked.com/article_18647_7-amazing-yet-uninspiring-feats-human-endurance.html Up to this day, no one has still transcended the world record set by Kam Ma back in 2006 with regards to speed piercing. Together with his tattoo artist partner, Charlie Wilson, Ma was able to place an astounding 1,055 piercings in his arms and legs in just 8 hours. Take note, Ma took all the rings without any anesthetic. And just for the heck of it, Wilson placed another 455 holes in Mas body. 3. Super Strength http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html At par with Supermans superhuman strength, this Florida firefighter was able to lift an SUV around 30 cm off the ground to be able to rescue a trapped driver. Chris Hickman was able to pull this off in 2008 which gave him exposure in both the fields of world record and media. 4. Balancing Feats http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html It may already be amazing for someone to be able to lift a car but someone thought he could do better than that. John Evans, giving himself the title professional head balancer, was able to balance a 159kilogram in his head for 33 seconds without the use of hands. Apparently, this 2-meter tall mini car was even heavier than him as he only weighed 155 kilograms. Balancing a car was only one among his many world records which included balancing motorcycles, boats, washing machines and people. 5. Iron Crotch http://www.cracked.com/article_17309_6-people-with-amazing-abilities-that-are-totally-useless.html If lifting or balancing a car doesnt suit your tastes, maybe this Grandmaster of Chinese medicine could interest you with his Iron Crotch action. Tu Jin-Sheng was able to pull a four-wheeler truck with people riding it using his penis using an Eastern spiritual technique called Qigong. And if you want to learn from the crotch master, he actually has an instructional video to teach you a few tricks.

6. Strongest Ear http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/strength/strongest_ear_world_record_set_by_Lasha_Pataraia_7 0898.htm Right next to the list of strongest neck and strongest penis comes this man who apparently has the strongest ear. Lasha Pataraia, after his third attempt, set the world record for pulling a 7,734 kilogram military helicopter all by himself just by using his left ear. A former wrestling champion, Pataraia pulled the MI8 helicopter for 20 astounding seconds. 7. Magnetic man http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-images-20-weirdest-world-records-you-didntknow-about/20120326.htm#11 Proclaimed by the media as the magnetic man, Etibar Elchiyev posed in 2011 with 50 spoons resting on his shoulders and chest. Experts say he isnt really magnetic. Its just that things that have smooth surfaces like the back of the spoon tend to stick to skin. Elchiyevs hairless and smooth skin enabled him to grab the world record for the most spoons magnetized to the body. 8. Team Effort http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-images-20-weirdest-world-records-you-didntknow-about/20120326.htm#18 The body may be able to pull off amazing exploits if moral support and unity is present. This is proved by 84 people in wheelchairs who were able to pull a C130 cargo aircraft that weighed an amazing 67 tons. The plane was tired to their wheelchairs and they were able to pull the plane across Melsbroek military airport for over 100 meters which set the Guinnes World Record for the heaviest plane pulled by people in wheelchairs. 9. Super Grandma http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html Age really doesnt matter. At the age of 76, Sakinat Khanapiyeva set the world record for lifting and twisting metals. This grandma could break horse shoes and twist 5-centimeter steel rods and lift dumbbells weighing 24 kilograms. She discovered this capability of her body when she moved a 299-kg barrel of grain at 10 years old. 10. 50 Marathons, 50 Days, 50 States http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html Talking about overcoming your endurance limits, Dean Karnazes of Los Angeles was able to transcend his endurance in 2006 by running in 50 marathons in 50 states for 50 days. Apart from this feat, he was also able to run 217 kilometres across Death Valley in Mojave Desert at 48 degrees Celsius and transcend the cold in a marathon to the South Pole which reached minus 40 degrees Celsius. 11. The Spiderman http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html Climbing and scaling buildings like a spider is not only possible in the movies nowadays. Dubbed as the human spider, Alain Robert proved that a real human could climb the tallest skyscrapers in the world

without using ropes or any climbing equipment just like a top-notch spy from the movies or even Spiderman. Robert was able to climb the Eiffel tower, the Sydney Opera House and Sears Tower among others. 12. The Human Lightning Rod http://www.livescience.com/14048-amazing-superhuman-feats.html Also called as the Human lightning conductor, Cleveland Sullivan was able to survive not one, not two, but seven lightning strikes between ages 30 and 65. In average, he was struck by lightning every five years compared to the average persons odds of 1/750,000. Apart from this seemingly lucky occurrence of being struck by lightning, the most interesting thing is his survival after all the strikes. 13. The fart master http://www.cracked.com/article_17309_6-people-with-amazing-abilities-that-are-totallyuseless_p2.html Yes, farting has been an acclaimed talent. Joseph Pujol possessed extraordinary control, not only with his farts, but also impressive control of his sphincter in general. He was able to imitate cannon fires, animal sounds and musical instruments with his farting. He was able to master control of his asshole by using his ability to suck up air and even water through his ass and rocket the jet of liquid like it was the most natural thing on earth. 14. Breaking Chains http://listverse.com/2008/11/04/10-amazing-strongman-feats-of-the-past/ When talking about strength, size should not really make too much difference. This small man, only 53 in height and 143.5 pounds in weight became very influential during his time. Pierre Gasnier was often called the French Hercules because of his ability to lift a dumbbell twice his weight, rip a deck of cards in half at once and break an iron chain tied over his chest through expanding his ribcage. 15. Cannonball Catcher http://listverse.com/2008/11/04/10-amazing-strongman-feats-of-the-past/ Also called the Cannonball king, John Holtum could perfectly catch cannonballs like his life depended on it. His assistant would fire a 50-pound cannonball at him from a short distance and Holtum would be able to catch it with his gloved hands and chest. Experts say he is able to accomplish this feat because of his great strength and lightning-quick reflexes. 16. Badass fingers http://www.cracked.com/article_17309_6-people-with-amazing-abilities-that-are-totally-useless.html Bobby Badfingersyes thats his namewas able to create a name for himself in the entertainment business and in the Guinness World Record for his ability to snap really well. And by really well, not only good snapping but really fast snapping. Bobby set the world record for snapping at 30 snaps per second. 17. Tattoo obsession turned world record http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/society/most_tattooed_woman_Julia_Gnuse_sets_world_recor d_101718.htm

With 95% of her body covered with tattoos, Julia Gnuse holds the world record for having the most tattoos. Her tattoo obsession started when she got a tattoo to hide the scars from her skin condition, Poryphyria, which causes her skin to blister when exposed to sunlight. Her tattoos range from inscribed jungle scenes, cartoons and faces of her favourite actors all done by one tattoo artist. 18. Mouth Action http://list25.com/25-most-insane-world-records/ A mouth as big as this could probably finish the biggest cheeseburger in one bite. In 2009, Simon Elmore from Germany set the record for the most number of straws that could be stuffed in his mouth. He was able to put 400 bendy straws in his mouth and hold it in position for 10 seconds. 19. Tongue-Lifter http://whatculture.com/humour/10-crazy-world-records-you-wont-believe-exist.php/3 This record could not probably come close to all weight lifters that set world record. Thomas Blackthorne only hefted 11 kilograms but theres a catch. He lifted this impressive 11 kilograms using his tongue. He spent 6 years building up the strength of his tongue to set this record and finally, he was able to do so using a hook pierced through his tongue. 20.Eye-puller http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-6000/heaviest-weight-pulled-with-the-eye-sockets/ Gone are the days when eyes are only used for crying. Space Cowboy Chayne Hultgren created a new way of pulling objects in 2009 and this through his eyes. He holds the heaviest weight pulled with the eyes sockets which reached 411 kilograms comprised of a rickshaw with three ladies on it. Chayne used fish hooks to attach the rickshaw to the lacrimal bones underneath his eye. 21. Sword-swallower http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/stunts/most_swords_swallowed_simultaneously_Chayne_Hultgr en_sets_world_record%20_101539.htm Also the same Space Cowboy who pulled people with his eye sockets, Chayne Hultgren has set another world record by swallowing the most number of swords simultaneously. Hultgren trained for his recordsetting feat since he was 16 and finally pulled it off at the age of 31. He swallowed 18 swords at the same time, each measuring 28 inches long. 22. The most eye-popping woman http://the-post-bar.blogspot.com/2012/06/kim-goodman-worlds-longest-eyeballs.html Literally the most eye-popping woman, Kim Goodman set a weirdly interesting world record of the furthest eyeball pop in the Guinnes World Records in 2007. She is able to pop her eyeballs out of her eye sockets up to 12 millimeters. Not the attractive thing a woman could do but pretty interesting and unique. 23. Milk-Squirter http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2004-09-01-milk-squirting_x.htm This certainly belongs to the top weirdest feats a person could pull off. In 2004, Ilker Yilmaz achieved the fartherst milk squirt from an eye when he squirted milk at a distance of 9 feet, 2 inches. He did this by

pouring milk in his hand, snorting it up his nose, and then squirting it out of his eyes. He was able to do this because of an apparent anomaly in his tear gland. 24. Unconventional Balloon-popping http://listdose.com/top-10-wackiest-guinness-book-world-records/ This female contortionist puts an unconventional twist to popping balloons. Julia Gunthel, AKA Zlata, has set the world record for the fastest time to burst 3 balloons using her back. She was able to pop the 3 balloons in 12 seconds by bending backwards and putting the balloon between her back and back thigh. 25. Sticking needles in places where you shouldnt stick them http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2012/09/04/2100_needles_in_the_head_markham_man_breaks_hi s_own_guinness_record.html Recently, the world record for the most number of needles stuck in the head was broken by Sri Lankan father, Mohanathas Sivanayagam. He surpassed 2007 record-holder Wei Shengchus 2,009 needles by sticking 2,100 needles in his head. The needles were inserted at least 1.5 centimetres deep to keep them from falling. He said that his head feels heavy after setting the record which could arise both from the number of needles he stuck in his head and the 10 extra-large coffees he downed to keep himself awake.
