Unusual (15 Photos)

People with body features. (I don't remember if I posted this or not.)

Gary Turner





At around age 3, Gary and his parents noticed something unusual: his skin was stretching in all directions, as if it weren't attached to the muscles and fat layer. Now an adult, Gary knows all about his diagnosis. It turns out he has the rare Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Gary is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the person with the most elastic skin. He can pull the skin from his abdomen and cover it with any nearby object, such as a chair or table. Thanks to his unusual skin, Gary has become famous; he earns money by participating in circus performances and shows, demonstrating the capabilities of his body.

Tim Cridland



This US resident has been pain-free since childhood. He can pierce his body with a needle or knife, or touch a hot object without any pain. This is because his pain threshold is higher than that of ordinary people. Even if Tim grabs a hot frying pan, the skin on his hands will be burned, but he won't feel any pain. This extraordinary ability has helped him earn a living. He performed frequently as a circus performer, dazzling audiences with his dangerous stunts—he was regularly stabbed with swords, knives, and needles.

Jen Bricker



Jen was unlucky from birth. When her mother saw that the baby had no legs, she abandoned her. However, the girl was quickly adopted—her new family provided her with a better upbringing and instilled in her a love of sports. At 11, Jen became the Illinois champion in acrobatic jumping, and her lack of legs did not stop her from achieving this ambitious goal. A little later, she became interested in aerial gymnastics and achieved considerable success.

Liv Tou Lin



A man lives in Malaysia and can attract any iron object like a powerful magnet. Incredibly, Liv can even attract a car. Even more astonishing is the fact that this ability is hereditary. Two sons and three grandchildren also possess a "magnetic body." In real life, Liv constantly experiences discomfort, as he cannot safely visit stores, shopping centers, and public places. Wherever he goes, any iron object, no matter how small, immediately "sticks" to him. Doctors are at a loss to explain this phenomenon.

Yakov Tsiperovich



He is probably the most enigmatic figure of our time, yet for some reason, no one is interested in his story. It all began in Minsk in 1979, when 26-year-old electrician Yakov was poisoned by his own wife, who, out of jealousy, slipped rat poison into his wine. Yakov lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital, where he spent an hour in a state of clinical death. Doctors had already given up hope of saving the boy, but after an hour of "revival" measures, his heart began beating again. They were certain he would not regain consciousness and, at best, would remain a "vegetable," since, according to all the laws of medicine and science, the human brain begins to rapidly die seven minutes after cardiac arrest. Yakov spent an hour "on the other side." Then he returned. After treatment, Yakov regained his health and a normal life. But there was a catch: Tsiperovich lost the ability to sleep. From then until he was 50, Tsiperovich remained sleepless. He was examined by leading medical experts, but they found no explanation for his ability. Eventually, they lost interest in him altogether. At 50, at a reunion with his classmates, Yakov realized he wasn't aging and looked no older than 35. Trying to understand the nature of his phenomenon, Tsiperovich consulted Juna and other psychics, but they too were at a loss, unable to solve his mystery. Articles, books, and films have been written about Tsiperovich, but no one has been able to understand why he remains awake for decades and doesn't age, even though his peers have long since become pensioners.

Carol Ann Yager



This American woman was the most obese woman in history. She weighed 727 kg and could not walk. Her weight was the result of psychological problems; she "eated" her failures and fears, eventually gaining weight without even realizing it. At 34, Carol passed away due to kidney failure.

Radhakrishnan Velu



Nature has blessed this humble Malaysian with the strongest teeth in the world. Locals nicknamed him "King Teeth" for moving a 297-ton train by clenching a steel cable attached to the train between his teeth. Radhakrishnan meditates, exercises, and trains his jaws daily. He believes his ability is a gift from the gods.

Norma Stitz



Norma is known as the woman with the largest natural breasts. She hasn't had any plastic surgery; they are a true gift from nature. Her breasts weigh 26 kg, and their size is approaching 48. The woman experiences considerable discomfort, but is in no hurry to get rid of this peculiarity, especially since she is often paid to appear on various television shows.

Zhang Rufang



A 100-year-old Chinese woman suddenly developed a real horn on her forehead. Prior to this, the pensioner had been in perfect health. Now, residents of the surrounding villages flock to see the grandmother and her unusual "adornment."

Robert Pershing Wadlow



Due to a rare pituitary gland disorder, Robert's height at age 10 was 198 cm. At 22, the young man died in his sleep, reaching 272 cm. Until his death, Robert earned money in the circus, performing tricks and astonishing audiences with his gigantic stature.

Amu Haji



This Iranian resident didn't wash for 60 years and set a real record, which was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. The man explained his aversion to water by saying he was afraid of it. (Washed and died)

Michel Lotito



The Frenchman possessed a rare ability—he could eat metal and other inedible objects. Over the course of his life, Michel ate 18 bicycles, part of the Eiffel Tower, 7 televisions, 1 airplane, and 15 supermarket carts.

Bruce Khlebnikov



At age 8, he could playfully rip apart 700-page books. And at 11, he moved a fighter jet and a 38-ton crane. By age 25, Bruce had set 30 world records and is today considered one of the strongest people on the planet.

Brahim Takiolah



This Moroccan native is 246 cm tall, but he's famous for something else. His feet measure 38.1 cm, which earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.

Jalisa Thompson



This black woman from Atlantic City can bulge her eyes so much that it scares the living daylights out of everyone. However, this trick does not cause any harm to Jalisa.
