Wearing The Most T-Shirts At Once...And Other Unusual World Records

Rolling an orange with one's nose.

Repeat world record holder, Ashrita Furman smashed the 29 minute orange-rolling title when he nosed America’s favorite morning citrus fruit one mile through JFK International Airport in 24 minutes and 34 seconds. Way to roll, Ashrita!

Joggling

Canadian heartthrob, Michael Kapral now holds the world record for running a marathon while juggling. Incidentally, he upped the anti by simultaneously chewing gum throughout.

Hosting largest convention of robot dancers.

The University of Kent still holds the title at 500. This seems like a surmountable party goal if you ask me.

Being the youngest Indian chess player EVER. (4 years 2 mos.)

Oh, Mitrabha Guha! You are so severe.

Wearing the most t-shirts at once.

He was going to add one more, but he really didn’t want to cover up that one of the St. Bernard.

One-hand clapping.

Sadly, this hand-clapping marathon was only aired on an Indian reality show called Shabaash India. If anyone can locate footage, I’ll kiss you on the lips.

Backwards cycling slash violin playing.

Any suggestions for a good hybrid word for this one, a la “joggling?”

Christian Adam (above) spanned 60 km in just over 5 hours while rocking J.S. Bach on his violin.

Owning largest collection of traffic cones.

At 137 different cones, David had better watch out for safety cone expert, AliciaK (right).

Being quickest at game of Operation.

Not surprisingly, a professional surgeon actually holds the record at 1 minute and 2 seconds. But he could have shaved it down to 45 seconds, had he not bothered to actually follow the rules and use the cards. Square.

Or hosting largest convention of smurfs.

I’m infinitely more impressed by the fact that someone motivated 1253 people to paint themselves blue. Ireland holds the title today.

Having the world's longest ear hair (5.25 inches).

Such a blessing.

Headbanging endurance.

Congratulations to Bill Jaimeson of Tring, England for maintaining his headbanging session for 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Being the most efficient tap dancer.

Tony Adams came a long way from being crippled at birth when he smoked the world record for “most taps in one minute.” His score of 602 was 90 greater than the previous record. Now, if this story doesn’t make your heart melt, you’ve got to be the devil!

Having largest quanity of snails on face simultaneously.

Eight snails for ten seconds. Enough said.

Our rising safety cone star.
