Paul Hunn

How loud is a burp?

Mr. Paul Hunn of London has got the loudest one on record that reached 104.9 decibels. (db) To get an idea of how loud that is, imagine a jet flying over you head at 1000ft. This is amazing being that cruise ships even consider it a hazard for the noise level to be even at 83+ decibels, requiring passenger to wear plugs. The average person talking in a conversation is about 70 decibels. At rock concerts, the levels are atleast 115 decibels to give you an idea of the magnitude of this mans ability. He attained this record on July 20, 2004 in London England.

Ashrita Furman

Looks easy right?

How about walking with a bottle of milk on your head for I don't know, 80 miles? Well this guy did it within 24 hours, 23 hours and 35 minutes to be exact. Mr. Furman is no stranger to setting records as he has the most with 14 GWR. (Guinness World Records) He set this particular record on April 22-23 1998. Some of his other notable records include jumping rope 130,000 times in a 24 hour period, 434 hop-scotch games also in a 24 hour period just to name a couple. Walking 80 miles in a 24 hour period is pretty amazing in itself, but doing it with a bottle of milk on your head the whole time is something truly remarkable.
