Top 5 Unusual Guinness World Records

5. Heaviest pumpkin

Guinness World Records confirmed on October 09, 2010 that a gigantic pumpkin grown in Wisconsin was officially the world’s heaviest. It weighed 1,810 lb 8 oz and was unveiled by Chris Stevens at the Stillwater Harvest Fest in Minnesota. Stevens’ pumpkin was 85 pounds heavier than the previous record, another huge pumpkin grown in Ohio. The proud farmer said his secret is a precise mixture of rain, cow manure, good soil, seaweed and fish emulsion. Some of the world’s heaviest pumpkins, including the record-holder were on public display at the Bronx Botanical Gardens in New York for several weeks.
4. Most T-shirts worn at once

Believe it or not, there is a record also for this category. Krunoslav Budiseli? set a new world record on May 22, 2010 for wearing 245 T-shirts at the same time. The man from Croatia was officially recognized as the new record holder by Guinness World of Records after he managed to put on 245 different T-shirts in less than two hours. The T-shirts weighted 68 kg and Budiseli? said he began struggling around T-shirt no. 120. He dethroned the Swedish Guinness record holder who wore 238 T-shirts.
3. Most living generations

Did you ever wonder what is the Guinness World Record for most living generations in one family? Seven is the answer.
The ultimate authority on record- breaking mentions on the website that the youngest great-great-great-great-grandparent of this family was Augusta Bung “aged 109 years 97 days, followed by her daughter aged 89, her grand-daughter aged 70, her great-grand-daughter aged 52, her great-great grand-daughter aged 33 and her great-great-great grand-daughter aged 15 on the birth of her great-great-great-great grandson on 21 January 1989.”
2. Longest ears on a dog

A bloodhound from Illinois has the longest ears ever measured on a dog. The right ear is 13.75 in long and the left one 13.5 in. The dog named Tigger earned this title in 2004 and is owned by Christina and Bryan Flessner.
Mr. Jeffries is the previous record holder of this title. Each of his ear measured approximately 11.5 in long. His grandfather used to hold this amazing world record, but when he died Mr. Jeffries took over.
1. Largest horn circumference – steer

Lurch was the record holder of the world’s largest horn circumference, 37.5 in. He was an African Watusi steer born October 11, 1995 on a ranch in Missouri. Janice Wolf adopted Lurch when he was only 5 weeks old. Unfortunately, the steer died last year of cancer. A form of cancer at the base of one of Lurch’s horns ended the 15 years long beautiful friendship between him and Janice

8 Oddest New Guinness World Records

If you need a few new pieces of trivia to fling around the water cooler, we hope you like to talk about hair and pets. When it comes to deciphering some of the strangest new world records found in the Guinness World Records 2012 edition, released today, the size of everything from cats to afros to tongues has made the book. And the best part? Guinness has pictures to prove it all.
Longest Tongue (Female)
Chanel Tapper from Los Angeles boasts a tongue 3.8 inches long from tip to the top lip. Shockingly, that’s not the longest tongue in the world (that title goes to Stephen Taylor from the United Kingdom at 3.96 inches), simply the longest tongue for a female. You really don’t know how long a nearly four-inch tongue is until you see the picture. Then you’re still a little puzzled by the entire deal.

Most Dogs Skipping on the Same Rope
We understood the longest tongue challenge. But this one was a bit different. We simply struggle to picture someone sitting around chatting with a friend, saying, “You know, I bet my dog could skip rope … with 12 of his buddies.” While the conversation might not have happened, the skipping of rope by 13 dogs sure did when Uchida Geinousha’s “Super Wan Wan Circus” did so in Tochigi, Japan, for a television show. We wonder how many dog treats were needed to make that happen.

Tallest Man
While the title of tallest man goes to Sultan Kösen, you might as well just hand over the title of tallest person in the world, male or female. Kösen, from Anakara, Turkey, was born Dec. 10, 1982, and measures 8’3″. Guinness says he was measured in February 2011, so hopefully—for his sake—that means he has stopped growing.

Largest Violin
We’ve certainly heard of tiny violins, but the Vogtland masters of violin- and bow-making in Germany decided to go the other direction and build one seven times the size of an average instrument at 14 feet long and over four feet wide. It takes a 17-foot bow to play, which requires two people to man while another person works the strings.

Shortest Cat
This cat is only 6 inches tall, from floor to shoulder. Owned by Tiffani Kjeldergaard of San Diego, Fizz Girl is a 2-year-old that we can only hope has a massive jumping ability if she hopes to climb up on any furniture and wreak havoc in the house.

Longest Beard on a Living Person (Male)
Okay, we don’t know why this category adds in the disclaimer “on a living person.” And we certainly don’t want to know why “male” was a warranted second disclaimer. But it does set the bar super high—or long—with a 7’9″ beard grown by Sarwan Singh of Canada, who showed off the twisty mass of mustache in Rome to capture the record.

Dog With the Longest Ears
Can you tell which ear is longer? The left ear measures 12.25 inches, but that has nothing on the right ear, coming in at 13.5 inches, totaling the longest ears for a dog. Harbor, a black and tan coonhound owned by Jennifer Wert of Colorado, is 8 years old and weighs nearly 90 pounds. The breed is well known for its droopy ears used to pick up scents from the ground. Maybe, like human men, his ears will get bigger with age.

Largest Afro

We know, the first question you have: How do you wash that thing? Aevin Dugas of New Orleans trims her record-breaking ‘fro two or three times a year and uses up to five conditioners at once when she washes it. When measured in October 2010, she set the record with an afro circumference of 4-4. Wrap your head around that.
