You may have seen many world records, but what I’ll show you next are sure the most fanciful ones. Here is a list of ten of the most bizarre world records.

 

10. Largest Airplane Eaten

Michel Lotito is big namee in the realm of bizarre records and abilities. This French man could chew up all types of indigestible materials, including steel, glass bottles, television, razor blades, light bulbs, and lots of other non-edible stuff. He performed his most famous act in 1990s, when he spent 2 years eating a whole Cessna. He would use a sledgehammer, bolt cutter and acetylene torch to break it up and then consume the parts. However, he did bite theglass parts directly off the plane. After chewing them and eating them, Lotito passed all the metal and glass parts through his system just like any other person. His abnormally thick stomach lining was key to his extraordinary abilities. Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday. He is buried at Grenoble Cemetery.

 

9. Most Spoons Balanced on the Face

The most spoons balanced on the face is 16 and was achieved by Joe Allison (United Kingdom), aged 9, in Devon, United Kingdom, on 1 April 2008. Joe used stainless steel teaspoons. He balanced 5 spoons on the forehead, 4 on the cheeks, 1 on the nose, 2 on his top lip, 1 on each ear and 2 on the chin.

8. Most Cockroaches Eaten

Ken Edwards of Glossop, Derbyshire, England ate 36 cockroaches in one minute on the set of The Big Breakfast, London, England on March 5, 2001. Ken is a retired ratcatcher and part-timeentertainer who first took to the stage at age 18, but his talent for carrying out bizarre stage acts was unveiled on the British TV show Over The Top when he was 39. Ken’s 47 rats-down-the-trouser trick caused such a stir that he became a celebrity overnight! His friends and family are now used to his freaky acts and Ken says, “If I were to actually do something normal then they would react!”

 

7. Most Plastic Surgeries

Cindy Jackson, aged 53, (USA) has had at least 47 cosmetic procedures, including nine full scale surgical operations since 1988. These have included three full facelifts, two nose operations, two eye lifts, liposuction, knees, waist, abdomen, thigh and jawline surgery, lip and cheek implants, chemical peels, chin bone reduction and semi-permanent make-up.

 

6. Most Books Typed Backwards
