Everyone has something that takes them a little outside what’s considered “Normal,” and some of them are just so darn proud of it they decide to share it with the world and almost dare anyone willing to beat them at their own weird game. Sometimes weird world records are set by individuals doing one or two strange things, other times it’s groups, and sometimes it’s one very gifted individual holding many records. It’s a mad mad world full of people doing mad mad things and other people recording them. In celebration of that, here are 5 Strangest World Records You Won’t Believe Are Real.
* Yoga on Ice & Fish up the Nose
A Yoga trainer named GP Vijayakumar from Tamil Nadu, India, holds not one, but TWO, uh, interesting world records. The first is for doing yoga on a slab of ice for 120 minutes, the second is for…snorting 8 fish in one minute. The world is made up of strange and beautiful people my friends. If you ever think you’re too weird, your hobbies too strange, remember there’s someone who’s proud of his fish snorting record, and there’s nothing wrong with that, either.
* Longest Time Spent in Contact with the Snow
The longest time spent in full body contact with snow – 60 minutes, 8 seconds – is held by Oleksiy Gutsulyak of Ukraine, in January of 2013.
* Most Pairs of Air Jordans
Jordan Michael Gellar owned over 2,500 pairs of Air Jordans in 2012, one of every model ever made. It was the world’s largest collection and still holds the record. He’s now down to around a modest 500 pairs. The most he’s ever paid for a pair? Just over $11,000 USD.
* The World's Fastest Toilet
This contraption (which is mounted on a motorbike) clocks in at 55 mph, and the record for this uh, creation, is held by Colin Furze of England (a former plumber by trade). The previous record was 42.25 MPH. And yes. there’s water in it, and it will flush while moving.
* Most Naked Riders on a Theme Park Ride
The bizarre world record was set in August of 2010 at Adventure Island in Southend-On-Sea, England. It happens on the Green Scream roller coaster, and there were a total of 102 riders, in all their nude glory. Do um…do you think they hosed it down after?
