The madness of the Guinness Book of Records: how people mock their bodies
The Guinness Book of Records is turning into a vanity fair... Freaks and handsome men, strong men and dystrophic men, bearded men and bald men are trying to get onto its pages. And for the sake of the treasured record, they are ready to grow their nails and disfigure their bodies...
THE HAIRIEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Nature itself helps someone in their cherished goal of getting onto the pages of the Guinness Book of Records. Recognized as the hairiest man on earth, Chinese Zhenhuang, thanks to his super-hairiness, founded the most popular rock band in his country and became a millionaire. 96% percent of its body is covered with fairly long dark hair. The hair reaches a length of 6 centimeters!
Zhenhuang's ear hair began to grow at the age of two. Doctors immediately recommended that he remove excess hair, but he was sorry to part with it. As it turned out, the boy was already hatching long-term plans - thanks to his extraordinary appearance, Zhenhuang was the most popular person in the area!
Zhenhuang himself considers his increased hairiness to be a blessing from God, which distinguishes him from other mortals. He even founded his own musical group, which, thanks to the unusual appearance of the lead singer, became super popular.
THE THINEST WAIST This woman's name is Cathie Jung. Corsets are her favorite piece of clothing. Now she is 67 years old, but her 20 centimeter waist still conquers men's hearts...
Before the age of 28, the fashion model gave birth to two children, and then began wearing corsets. Allegedly because her husband really likes them. In fact, she was driven by the same “record” instincts. Now Katie takes off her corsets only for 30 minutes - to preserve her waist.
In all her outfits, the heroine feels, in her words, comfortable, at ease and “chic.”
THE MOST TATTOOED MAN IN THE WORLD. 35-year-old Gregory Paul McLaren, known as Lucky Diamond Rich, is recognized as the most tattooed person in the world, his body is almost completely covered with multi-layered tattoos.
From the age of fifteen he performed in the London Flying Fruit Fly Circus, at 17 he got his first tattoo, “it happened in London on the Red Light District, after I lost my virginity to a prostitute, in some run-down salon, it was a tattoo on the thigh, and it was done by a huge hairy biker, I felt much more confident, I realized that I could change my body,” he says.
An entry in the Guinness Book of Records states that he did tattoos on 4 continents, in 17 countries, 45 cities, in more than 250 studios with 136 artists.
All this allowed him to surpass the previous record holders Horace Ryder “The Great Omi” and Tom Leppard “The Leppard Man” in terms of the number of tattooed bodies.
RECORD -1,016 PINS IN ONE SESSION! For approximately three hours, 21-year-old Matt Robison sat motionless while 1,016 pins were inserted into him. "When I told people I was going to do this, most of them said I was crazy. They didn't think I would do it," he says.
When Robison graduated from High School, he dreamed of putting 1,000 pins inside himself. True, at that time the world record was 600 devices inserted in one session. A certain British record holder somehow found out about the boy’s intentions and, literally a week before Robinson’s session, he raised his achievement to 1,015 items in one session.
This event forced Robison to increase the number of pins to 1,200. But pain in his arms and back forced him to settle on a compromise...
OWNER OF THE LARGEST EARRING IN THE EAR. Actually, this ring inserted into the earlobe of 32-year-old Joseph Holly can be called an earring purely symbolically. Nevertheless, he is one of the world record holders
THE MOST MUSCULAR WOMAN IN THE WORLD. Linda Folit is Canadian. These are not muscles, these are kilograms of steroids... But there is no female bodybuilding without “chemistry”, she claims...
HE DRAWS WITH MALE DIGNITY. Artist Tim Patch, who prefers to be called Pricasso, paints with his manhood...
For example, he can paint a portrait of his friend with his penis in front of the public...
No one has ever complained about the quality of portraits...
...Even George Bush...
KUNFUIST MOVES THE CAR WITH EYES. Now Dong Changsheng, a 35-year-old Chinese resident, makes a living performing unusual tricks in southern Chinese cities...
But in order to demonstrate this trick to the representatives of the book of records, he had to practice kung fu for many years. He also uses Qigong in his practice, a special system of deep breathing exercises.
THE MOST BIG-EYED MAN. Claudio Paulo Pinto lives in the city of Vespasiano in Brazil... He surprises those around him by the fact that he can bulge his eyes so that they stick out of his sockets by almost 8 millimeters...
He says that with some training almost anyone can do this...
Alas, an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records ended in death for 42-year-old Lipetsk resident DMITRY BUTAKOV. He planned to drink antifreeze for a month. But the extreme show did not last even a day: his body could not withstand such abuse.
But before this, Dmitry assured that absorbing acetone was the most common thing for him. In front of journalists, he organized impromptu breakfasts: for the first, he drank a third of a glass of acetone, for the second, he ate a ball of mercury and washed it all down with antifreeze. He could also eat toadstools without consequences and live for a long time in the radiation zone. Dmitry “acquired” “magic” immunity by chance: after a strong electric shock and clinical death.
Butakov timed the conquest of the Guinness Book of Records to coincide with his birthday. To do this, he invited journalists to his home and set a festive table. For himself, he bought two bottles of antifreeze. Exactly at noon, Butakov opened the first bottle and proclaimed a toast: “To the health of humanity.” The guests applauded. The mother served the birthday boy a salad. He took a bite. And he drank another portion. Two hours after the start of the feast, Butakov exposed a vein and donated blood.
He felt sick at 3 am. The mother called an ambulance. Butakov was taken to the regional clinical hospital in an unconscious state.
The “poison swallower” died long and painfully. He came into consciousness, then passed out again. Doctors fought for his life for two weeks. They cleansed the blood of accumulated rubbish. But it was all in vain. Experiments on my body ended tragically..
