| -Joe Ponder of North Carolina lifted a more than 600 pound pumpkin 18 inches off the ground using his teeth. (Kids, don't try that at home) -In 1981, Steve Urner of California threw a potato chip nearly 266 feet. (Ok, you could try that at home) -Michel Lotito of France has eaten 1 shopping cart, 6 chandeliers,10 bicycles, 1 coffin, 7 TVs, and 1 Cessna airplane. (Okay guys, SERIOUSLY don't try that at home, or anywhere for that matter) -N. Ravi from India, stood on 1 foot for 34 hours. (Talk about too much time on their hands) -In Mexico City, Octavio Guillen and Adriana Martinez were engaged for 67 years. They finally got married in 1969. Martinez and Guillen were both age 82. (I wonder if they ever got tired of each other) -John Massis in Belgium used his teeth to stop a helicopter taking off. (Don't try that at home either, especially if you have already done or planned to pick up a giant pumpkin with your teeth. Your dentist won't be happy with you) -Zolilio Diaz rolled a hoop across a part of Spain that stretched about 600 miles. The journey took his tired feet 18 days. (It's not worth it-don't even think about it) -Travis Johnson in Missouri, held 9 baseballs in one hand. "No adhesives," he said. (Have fun stretching your hand out!) - Nine employees of the Bruntsfield Bedding Centre pushed a wheeled hospital bed 3,233 miles across Scotland, to prove the bed's durability. (I'd just throw some bricks against it or something...) - In Toledo, Ohio, two women placed 470 strategically arranged glass bottles on a lightning bolt shaped table, to create the largest bottle orchestra in the U.S. They can play many nursery rhymes, such as "This Old Man," "Hickory Dickory Dock," and "Mary Had a Little Lamb". (And their reason for doing this is...) |
