The biggest mouth is a woman's. Amazing records of the human body

An X-ray woman, a bodybuilder with muscles like the Hulk, a man who can eat a plane - it seems that we are talking about comic book heroes. But it turns out that such people exist in real life. In our review, there are 15 incredibly strange people who have something to surprise others.

1. The man with the longest hair in the world

Although the length of his hair was never measured (the hair was too intertwined and matted for this), Vietnamese herbalist Tran Van Huy was known as the man with the longest hair in the world. Presumably their length was 6.8 meters. According to his wife, Tran had not cut his hair in over fifty years and had washed his hair only a few times - last time 11 years before his death in 2010.

2. The man with the biggest mouth in the world

3. The most tattooed woman in the world

5. A person who constantly holds his hand up

Sadhu Amar Bharati first raised his hand in 1973 in honor of the god Shiva and has not lowered it to this day.

Michelle Kobke, a 26-year-old woman from Germany, managed to reduce her waist from 65 to an incredible 40 centimeters by wearing a corset around the clock for three years. Even though her waist is already much smaller than most catwalk models, Michelle wants to reduce it to 35cm.

7. The woman who remembers everything

Jill Price claims that she remembers every detail of her life, down to what time she woke up, what she had for breakfast and who she met near the house on any day of her childhood. The woman herself considers this a curse, because she remembers all the things that she would really like to forget.

8. Half-cyborg woman

Eileen Brown, from Boldon, England, has had more than a dozen surgeries over the past two decades. She only has real “natural” joints in her left hip and left elbow.

9. The Soldier Who Hid in the Jungle for Almost Thirty Years

Forty-three years ago, Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda, who fought in World War II, was found in the jungles of Guam. For three decades, the Japanese, unaware of the end of the war, fought alone, attacking American bases and the Philippine police. Onoda surrendered only after his commander contacted him and gave the order to stop resistance.

10. The Incredible Hulk

Brazilian builder Romario Dos Santos Alves wanted to be like the Hulk so much that he began injecting himself with a deadly mixture of oil, alcohol and lidocaine. As a result, the 25-year-old Brazilian nearly had both of his grotesquely swollen arms amputated.

11. Grandma "Devil's Horn"

In 2010, the world was shocked by the news that a 101-year-old Chinese woman had a real devil's horn growing on her forehead above her left eye. Also, a second horn soon began to grow above his right eye.

12. Girl with X-ray vision

Natasha Demkina is known in Russia as the "X-ray Girl". She claims to be able to see people's insides through their skin. Natasha put even the most notorious critics to shame with the absolutely accurate medical diagnoses she gave people.

13. Omnivore

Over the course of forty years, Frenchman Michel Lotito ate about nine tons of metal. At the age of 9, Lotito ate a glass glass. According to doctors, the walls of the stomach and intestines, which are 2 times thicker than those of an ordinary person, allowed Michel to have such an unusual hobby. Every day he consumed about a kilogram of inorganic items. And once Lotito ate an entire Cessna plane in 2 years.

Usually a person can go 5 days without sleep, otherwise irreversible changes may begin in the body. In the Vietnamese province of Quang Nam there lives a man who has attracted the interest of scientists from all over the world. Hai Ngoc claims that he has not slept a wink since he fell ill with fever in 1973.

The world is diverse and full of secrets. There is at least .

A couple of years ago, videos appeared on the popular hosting site Youtube, the main character of which was an Angolan. The videos have become extremely popular among Internet users. So much so that representatives of the Guinness Book of Records became interested in the man.

Mouth to ears, even sew on strings

A little later, Francisco became a hero worldwide famous book records. His mouth was called the largest in the world. In the place where ordinary people put food, an Angolan resident places objects that are completely inappropriate for a meal. For example, a record holder can easily put a Coca-Cola can into his mouth. Moreover, in front of the eyes of astonished spectators, a fantastic man was able to take out and put a 0.33-liter jar into his mouth 14 times in one minute. And at the same time, Zhokim managed to talk with his mouth full. Now Francisco is trying to do the same with a half-liter container. When this trick is successful, another 10 packs of cigarettes will go into the largest mouth on the planet.

And at one of the giant mouth competitions, which took place in Italy, Francisco Domingo Joaquima confirmed his reputation in front of everyone. Participants were required to place bottles, coffee cups and plates into their own mouths. True, not simultaneously, but in turn.

Well, before getting under television cameras and being judged by experts from the Guinness Book of Records, Joaquim demonstrated his unusual abilities in the stadiums and markets of his hometown. Besides the fact that a guy can put a tin bottle and other kitchen utensils, Francisco can still “kiss” himself on any part of his face. The young man easily covers his own face with his lips. He stretches them to unimaginable sizes, so from the outside it seems that an ordinary person is simply incapable of doing such things.

To become a record holder, Joaquim made no effort. He never exercised his facial muscles or tried to stretch his mouth to its maximum extent. The young man's skin was highly elastic from birth. Therefore such unusual ability already at a conscious age he decided to turn it to his advantage.

Francisco Domingo entered the Guinness Book of Records

Mister fantastic

There are still people on the planet who have abilities that, in general, are not suitable for life. For example, a UK resident named Harry Turner can stretch his skin like rubber. The young man is better known under the pseudonym Toffee Man. The man has already hit the pages famous book Guinness World Records, as soon as he demonstrated the following ability: he was able to pull the skin from his own abdomen to a record 15.8 centimeters. At the same time, only the skin was pulled back, and not the fat folds. The latter are simply absent in a person with a dystrophic physique.

Harry Turner owes his unusual “talent” to a rare disease. It's called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This is a systemic connective tissue disease that affects not only the skin, but also ligaments and even internal organs.

Useless superpowers

In fact, Mr. Rubber Mouth and Toffee Man have no way of using their abilities in real life except to please the public. There are other skills that have no practical application. And there is no point in turning such talents into necessary skills. Here are a few more superpowers that are given to humans completely uselessly.

Steel balls

A man named Yong Hsuen showed the world his ability to master the ancient kung fu technique “Steel Balls”. The Shaolin monk showed that he could safely endure strong blows to the groin area. This defensive tactic is also called “turtle shell.” A style master can retract his testicles into his body, thereby hiding them in a kind of shell.

There are no more than ten masters in the world who know and master this technique. And during the demonstration of his ability, Yong received more than one powerful blow between the legs, and at the same time he only smiled and joked. By the way, before the performance the young man underwent a medical examination. It showed that Hsuen's genitals were perfectly functioning and in place. Therefore, there can be no talk of deception in the experiment.

The Great and Terrible Belcher

But another young man, Paul Hann, acts in a completely uncultured manner. He burps in public. And he does it quite loudly. The sound equivalent of his burp is 108 dB (to imagine how loud this is, it is worth knowing that the sound of a moving train is about 90 dB, that of an electric drill is 100 dB, and that of an airplane taking off is 120 dB). Paul’s strange ability was immortalized in the Guinness Book of Records.

However, such talent has already brought practical benefits. The Belcher said that he once saved a girl who was being attacked by a robber. Hann made his original sound, sparing no effort. And the robber ran away from his victim. However, the girl was also scared and ran to another room.

Tennis Racquet Conqueror

And another useless ability. The acrobat "Captain Frodo" can put himself through a tennis racket (the place where the net is stretched). The Frenchman works as an acrobat, juggler and sword swallower in a traveling circus and says that anyone is capable of this.

And for such a trick, it is enough to independently move and return the joints to their place. True, the procedure is quite unpleasant and painful.

At the age of 38, Katie Jung began wearing a 15cm corset to gradually reduce her then 66cm waist. And all this for the love of Victorian clothing. Since 1983, she wore a corset 23 hours a day, taking it off only to shower. Now she has a completely natural thin waist, and she does not go on special diets or do any exercise.

4. The largest turn of the foot

14-year-old Maxwell Day broke Moses Lanham's previous record by turning his foot 157 degrees. He immediately notified the Guinness World Records team about this and on September 23, 2015, he became the world record holder, 37 degrees ahead of his predecessor. According to him, it doesn’t hurt, and he can not only turn his feet like this, but also walk in this position.

5. Biggest breasts

American Annie Hawkins-Turner holds the world record as the owner of the largest breasts, about 178.8 cm in girth. Her bra size is 102ZZZ. Her breasts weigh almost 30 kg each and they continue to grow. According to Annie, her breasts began to grow at the age of five. By the age of nine, the size was already 36D.

6. The longest hair in the ears

The longest ear hair in the world belongs to Indian Anthony Victor, the longest reaches a length of 18.1 cm. Anthony Victor is a pensioner and former director schools. His students call him “the teacher with the hairy ears.”

7. The most stretchable skin

41-year-old Briton Gary Turner suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This disease affects the connective tissues and makes the skin loose and very elastic. As a result, Gary can stretch the skin of his abdomen by almost 16 cm and turn it into a makeshift table that can hold three glasses of beer!

8. The widest mouth

20-year-old Francisco Domingo Joaquim from Angola is the owner of the widest mouth in the world. At full extension it's a whopping 17cm and he can fit an entire jar of candy in there. After his skill was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, Francisco became an Internet sensation.

9. Extending the eyeballs to the farthest distance

One day, American Kim Goodman discovered her talent when she was hit on the head with a hockey mask and her eyeballs literally flew out. From that moment on, she can do it on her own. They move forward by 12 mm, for example, when she yawns.

10. Longest eyebrow hairs

Eighty-year-old Chinese Zheng Shusen has the longest hair in his eyebrows - as much as 19.1 cm. They even bother him when eating, because they constantly try to get into his mouth, so he tucks them behind his right ear.

The native of Angola can perform incredible tricks with his mouth. A 20-year-old young man named Francisco Domingo Joaquima from the city of Sambizanga does truly shocking things with his facial muscles. A couple of years ago, videos appeared on the popular hosting site Youtube, the main character of which was an Angolan. The videos have become extremely popular among Internet users. So much so that representatives of the Guinness Book of Records became interested in the man. Mouth to ears, even sewn strings. A little later, Francisco became the hero of the world-famous book of records. His mouth was called the largest in the world. In the place where ordinary people put food, an Angolan resident places objects that are completely inappropriate for a meal. For example, a record holder can easily put a Coca-Cola can into his mouth.

And at one of the giant mouth competitions, which took place in Italy, Francisco Domingo Joaquima confirmed his reputation in front of everyone. Participants were required to place bottles, coffee cups and plates into their own mouths. True, not simultaneously, but in turn.

And in this test the young man had no worthy competitors. Francisco's mouth was then measured. It was exactly 16.99 centimeters. It is worth noting the fact that the Angolan’s mouth can stretch anywhere, in any direction. As the record holder himself admits, he has long dreamed of getting into the Guinness Book of Records. Therefore, as soon as his name appeared on the pages of a reputable publication, he became immensely happy. Well, before getting under television cameras and being judged by experts from the Guinness Book of Records, Joaquim demonstrated his unusual abilities in the stadiums and markets of his hometown. In addition to the fact that a guy can put a tin bottle and other kitchen utensils into his mouth, Francisco can also “kiss” himself on any part of his face.

Therefore, already at a conscious age, he decided to use such an unusual ability to his advantage.
By the way, a fact that almost every inhabitant of the planet can envy. Francisco Domingo, whom, by the way, his friends call Chiquinho or Chinho, has never gone to the dentist. And at the same time, his teeth are almost perfect. This is proven by photographs from which you can study the oral cavity.
