10 Really Bizarre Guinness World Records

According to ABC news, November 18 was "Happy Guinness World Record Day!" In honor of this special day, which makes otherwise rational people do ridiculous things to get their name in the (kinda) history books, we've rounded up some of the weirdest records out there.

Some of these records are just crazy and some are just funny funny. It really mad me LOL (laugh out loud) while I was reading about some of these crazy things people were going to get into the Guinness Book of world records. I can't wait to tell you about some of them.

A former Texas medical student has the record for the worlds longest leg hair, it was 5 inches long; he even conditioned it so that it stayed nice. That is just sick, who knew that the hair on a mans leg could grow that long and just one piece? The record for the longest fingernails had not cut them since 1979. Are you kidding me? The nails had grown to a combined 28 feet but they broke off in a car crash and at that time she realized she needed to move on. Now the record belongs to a man whose nails are 29 feet. Wearing acrylic 2 inch nails is tough enough but we are talking feet not inches. Crazy!Or what about the guy  who pulled 907 pounds using his eye sockets? What in the world, what a risk that would be to take and how did he connect something to his sockets in the first place?

I'm not sure what kind of record I could break to be in the Guinness World book of records or if I would even want to. Reading about all these people is funny and entertaining so I guess I will leave it to someone else to break the records. It amazes me the crazy things people come up with for their minute of fame.
