Zafar Gill

Now that's a nice earring!

This is definitely the kind of thing that makes your stomach turn when looking at it. Not only is this man have weights attached to his head, the weight is only held up by one ear. This is amazing and seemingly very painful for one to endure. Mr. Gill of Pakistan is holding 136 pounds of weight with just one ear holding it up with a clamp. This record was made official on September 30th 2007 in Vienna, Austria. I am not sure of how many pounds it would take for something to rip your ear off your head, but apparently its not 136 pounds.

Stephen Taylor

What a big tongue!

When you think of long tongues, you automatically think of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Gene Simmons does have a very large tongue though he does not own the record, at least not officially. Stephen Taylor of the UK has the record for the longest tongue measuring at 3.74 inches (9.5cm) from the tip of his tongue to his top lip that was set on January 5th 2006 in Milan, Italy.

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.

Wang Jintu

This guy has the right idea for the summer.

Mr. Wang Jintu of Beijing, China is the coolest man in the world standing neck deep into some ice for 1 hour 30 minutes. He attempted and broke this Guinness record on April 17, 2008. All he is wearing is some swimming trunks and thats about it. He did not face any kind of ill effects when he exited the tank filled with ice after standing in it for over an hour. This is something that is not new to Mr. Jintu as he would wear short sleeve shirts out in the middle of winter, so doing this was kind of something that he knew he could do. Submerging your hand in ice for even 5 minutes can be very uncomfortable for most people, so putting your whole body in it for over an hour is definitely a great accomplishment that people can admire.
