00:00If you think you can balance a car on your head that is heavier than

00:04352 pounds, then you have a good chance of beating the current Guinness World Record

00:09John Evans from England who holds it found he had a superpower while he was working as a bricklayer at

00:1717 he could hold 24 bricks on his head

00:21Years later. He started balancing fridges cement mixers kegs and other objects on his dome to raise money for charity

00:30He managed to hold a minicar on his head for 33 seconds in

00:341999 if anything had gone wrong it would have cost him his life

00:39It took another dangerous record-breaker

00:42Michelle Lotito two years to eat an airplane

00:46He cut it up with an electric power saw to create bite-sized chunks

00:50Then he swallowed it piece by piece and washed it down with mineral oil and tons of water

00:57Before you try to beat his record you must know he had a special condition that made him crave and eat things that aren't food

01:06He consumed over nine tons of metal during his lifetime

01:10including 18 bicycles 15 supermarket trolleys

01:15six chandeliers two beds a pair of skis a

01:19Computer a coffin and the commemorative Guinness World Records brass plaque

01:25Mick Meaney from Ireland decided that he could break the world record for the most number of days buried underground and become famous

01:33He spent 61 days in a coffin seven feet under the ground in

01:381968

01:39Nick woke up at 7 in the morning every day did a workout with partial press-ups

01:44Then had breakfast and read a newspaper

01:47there were two pipes sticking out of his temporary home one for food and one for ventilation and

01:53Keeping in touch with people above the ground the TV worldwide

01:57Radio and newspapers covered his adventure, but no one from the Guinness Book of Records was there when he resurfaced

02:04Perhaps they found it too dangerous. So he never ended up in the book

02:09The longest kiss ever recorded lasted 58 hours and 35 minutes

02:15Nine couples entered the annual competition in Thailand and one of them set this record on Valentine's Day in 2013

02:23Guinness discounted this category because the rules of such competitions were too strict

02:28The people had to keep their lips touching the entire time no breaks at all

02:33They could drink liquids using a straw, but they couldn't let their lips come apart. Not even for a second

02:40They had to stay awake and stand the whole time and even if they needed to go to the bathroom

02:45They had to keep kissing

02:47To make things safer

02:49They replaced the longest kiss with a new contest called the longest kissing marathon with short breaks to rest eat and even sleep

02:58on October 14th

03:012012 8 million people were watching Austrian skydiver

03:05Felix Baumgartner live as he beat eight world records and the sound barrier

03:11He lifted off from Roswell, New Mexico to the edge of space

03:14He got there inside the largest balloon with a human on board as tall as the Statue of Liberty when fully inflated

03:23Several hours later Felix was back as the first human to break the sound barrier in freefall

03:28completing the highest freefall parachute jump and

03:32achieving the fastest speed in freefall

03:35Nick Wallenda holds 11 Guinness World Records. He's the first person who walked a tightrope over Niagara Falls

03:42Nick comes from a famous circus dynasty the Flying Wallendas. He first walked the tightrope when he was just 13

03:50He walked across the Grand Canyon and the Orlando Eye

03:55That observation wheel is higher than the Statue of Liberty

03:58It was windy and wet, but he landed another record that will be really risky to beat

04:05Jin Song Gao has spent many years training his body to handle the freezing cold

04:11He can sit in a tub filled with ice cubes not for a minute, but for hours

04:16Jin became the champion when he stayed in the ice for

04:19113 minutes and broke a world record. A couple years later

04:24He managed to beat his own record by two minutes on a TV show

04:28In the last two minutes the audience cheered him on with music which helped him push through

04:33A

04:34Fearless man from China covered his whole body in bees to create the so-called bee beard

04:41This Italian tradition is from the 19th century

04:44People place a queen bee on themselves to attract thousands of bees

04:47The record-breaker had to place not one but 60 queen bees on his body to attract

04:54637,000 bees

04:56He set the official record for the heaviest mantle of bees

05:00The Guinness adjudicators were there but watched from a safe distance

05:04The new champion explained that the secret there is to stay calm

05:08Bees usually won't bite as it would cost them their lives. So you must not annoy them

05:14Guinness doesn't accept applications for the longest fasting because they don't encourage people to deprive themselves of food

05:21The only exception was in 1971

05:25Angus Barbieri survived without food for

05:28382 days

05:30He was 27 and weighed

05:32465 pounds when he started what was supposed to be a short fasting program at the hospital

05:38But Angus felt so good and was determined that he convinced the doctors to let him continue

05:44He even stopped working at his father's fish and chips shop to avoid any temptation to eat

05:50He survived on vitamins, tea, coffee,

05:53sparkling water, and a small amount of yeast to give him the nutrients he needed

05:58Angus got regular checkups to make sure he was okay. By the end of the fast, his weight dropped to

06:05180 pounds. He stayed healthy after his fast and maintained a stable weight for years

06:11If you wanted to get in the book of records because your pet is a plus-sized beauty, sorry

06:16But it won't happen either. The heaviest cat ever, Hemi, was from Australia

06:22It passed away at the age of 10 because of health issues and will forever be the record-breaker in this category

06:29Hemi weighed over 46 pounds in its final days in

06:341986. It was so heavy that it had to move around in a wheelbarrow

06:39Guinness World Records figured out that people could start over feeding their pets by force

06:44Just to make it into the book and closed the category 12 years later

06:48Now they monitor the weight and size of animals by breed, but not by individual animals

06:55Driving around the world at top speed is definitely an adventure, but it won't get you on the record list anymore

07:02Many people tried to do it, setting record after record, going faster and faster

07:07But by 1996, the Guinness Organization decided to stop accepting new claims

07:12It's just too dangerous and against the law to ignore the speed limits set in different countries

07:18By the way, the first successful attempt to circumnavigate by car took two years and one month

07:26In 1927, a racing driver and a filmmaker started off from Frankfurt, Germany and finished just beyond the starting point in Berlin

07:34If you want to set a new record in this field, you can try a boat, plane, helicopter, or maybe an auto gyro

07:42Dance marathons started in the U.S. in the 1920s when a woman named Alma Cummings danced for 27 hours with six different partners

07:51Everyone wanted to break her record, and soon, people all over the country were joining in

07:57In the 30s, they became even more popular because they offered free food, a place to stay, and the chance to win huge cash prizes

08:06The rules were tough

08:08The rules were tough

08:10Dancers had to stay standing and keep moving their feet, even while eating, shaving, or reading

08:16If a dancer was too slow, judges would tap their leg with a ruler to keep them moving

08:21Sadly, in 1923, a man named Homer Morehouse danced for 87 hours, collapsed, and passed away

08:30They immediately banned such marathons in Boston and L.A., and New York followed

08:39That's it for today! So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your friends
