10. Largest (Only) Airplane Eater
Unimaginable, how a person can eat a plane? It’s one of the most weird world records, isn’t it? With a knack for eating things that would make a grown man cringe, including razor blades, light bulbs, and glass bottles, Michel Lotito holds the world record for eating the largest airplane. To be fair, however, he also holds the world record for the ONLY person to eat an airplane. With a stomach lining twice as thick as the average man’s, Lotito spent two years dismantling and eating a Cessna 150 in the early 1990s. Although he had to take a lot of it apart with a sledgehammer and an acetylene torch, he bit most of the glass windows right off the plane, chewed them up, and swallowed them. So far, no one else has dared to top his record.
9. Most Live Rattlesnakes Held In Mouth
Jackie Bibby has, since 2009, held the world record for the most live rattlesnakes held in his mouth. In front a live audience, Bibby held 11 fully grown rattlesnakes by the rattle for 10 seconds using nothing but his mouth. Unbelievably, he was not bitten at all.
8. Longest Time of Full Body Contact In Snow
Set in snowy China, Jin Songhao decided he was going to set one of the most weird world records for the longest time of full body contact in the snow back in January 2011. Wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, a hat, and a pair of rather stylish sunglasses, Songhao lasted 46 minutes and 7 seconds in a pile of snow. He drank beer and ate spicy curry the whole time to keep himself warm.
7. Longest Fingernails
This is an unbelievable and one of the most weird world records. Chris Walton, known to her fans as “The Duchess”, holds the world record for the longest fingernails. Currently 47, Walton just up and decided to stop cutting her nails 19 years ago. Claiming to have only lost a nail once while fixing her car, Walton’s nails now collectively measure 10 feet and 2 inches on her left hand and 9 feet and 7 inches on her right hand.
6. Most Hula-Hoopers in One Spot
5. Most Fried Rice
At a fair in Costa Rica in February 2013, 52 chefs set the world’s record for the most amount of Cantonese fried rice cooked in one pan. With a supersized gas stove crafted specifically for this challenge, the chefs created a massive mound of fried rice that weighed almost 3,000 pounds and served over 7,000 people.
4. Most Naked People On A Roller Coaster
This is an eye-catching and one of the most weird world records. When thrills and chills are at the top of the night’s agenda, it just doesn’t get much better than the world record for the most naked people on a roller coaster. 102 riders set this record on August 8th, 2010 in Southeast England. To this day, no group has been able to beat this record. To be fair, though, the biggest challenge, other than finding 103 people who WANT to be naked on a roller coaster, is finding a theme park that will let them do it.
3. Biggest Flag
Like many records, the world’s biggest flag was specifically created to take the world record and was raised in Clinceni, Romania. The flag measured 1,146 feet long and 744 feet tall, taking up as much space as over 8 American football fields.
2. Biggest Aquarium
The biggest aquarium in the world can be found in Singapore at the Resorts World Sentosa’s S.E.A. Aquarium. This behemoth of a fish tank holds over 80,000 animals from 800 different species and contains over 42.9 million liters of water. To contain this much water, the aquarium also holds the world’s record for the largest acrylic panel.
