40+ Weird Guinness World Records We Didn't Know Existed

Stretchiest Skin

Garry Turner has been the proud owner of this record ever since 1999, thanks to a rare medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - a connective-tissue disorder where the collagen becomes defective and includes the loosening of the skin and hypermobile joints.

This means that Mr. Turner can stretch the skin of his stomach to 6.25 inches, and doesn't even feel any pain when he does it. The Briton is currently a sideshow performer and was a member of The Circus of Horrors in 2005.

Most Body Piercings

Some records can't be broken because some people are born with a unique trait or physical quality that simply can't be matched by anyone else (see Mr. Turner and has stretch skin). Other times, it's a question of finding someone willing to put themselves through quite a bit of pain and/or adorn themselves with multiple piercings, as is the case with Elaine Davidson.

The Brazilian has a record 462 piercings on her body, including 192 piercings on her facial area and 214 piercings in her pubic area.

Most Big Mac Burgers Eaten in a Lifetime

There are McDonald's addicts all over the world, but all of them pale in comparison to Donald Gorske of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

The 67-year-old, known as the "Big Mac enthusiast", holds the record for most Big Macs eaten in his life, a whopping 28,788. He claims the Big Mac constitutes 90-95% of his total solid food intake and eats about 14 of these burgers each week. Interestingly, Mr. Gorske only weighs 185 pounds (he's 6'2) and claims a cholesterol level of 140.

Largest Rubber Band Ball

For something so simple and somewhat pointless, it's amazing how much use the average person can get out of a rubber band.

Joel Waul achieved his record after building a 9,032-pound monster rubber band ball and earning himself a spot in the Guinness World Records back in 2008. Mr. Ward used 700,000 rubber bands of all sizes to build his 6 foot, 7-inch ball he named "Megatron."

Longest Plank Held

The plank is a position many a gym-goer and yoga practitioner will be familiar with. It's a simple enough position - simply get into a push-up position, but rest on your forearms instead of your hands. The tricky part is holding it, as your abdominals can get taxed quickly.

That is, unless, you're Mao Weidong of China, who held a plank for eight hours and one minute back in 2016.
