Guinness World Record holders and attempts

Would you tattoo 95 percent of your body or insert 1,590 needles into your body? How about driving your car through a sheet of glass? It’s hard to imagine pursuing any of these endeavors, but it’s another story for those who attempt to set a world record.

Since 1951, the Guinness World Records have been the premiere source to find out who’s the tallest, the oldest, the most unique and strangest. People around the globe are continually trying to get listed in Guinness, and you wouldn’t believe some of the things they’re willing to do to become famous. Guinness does not offer payment of ay kind to those who set a world record, just official documentation of the feat.

Fun fact: Some of the most frequently broken records are the Longest DJ marathon, the Heaviest item lifted with glue and the Most apples bobbed in one minute.
