10 Of The Oddest Guinness World Records Of 2023

Let's be honest, some records are stranger than others. Not every record in the books can be "touchdown passes thrown." Sometimes, they're much weirder. UPI found 10 of the oddest Guinness World Records of 2023.

UPI.com points out that there are more than 40,000 records in Guinness World Records' database. They range from very common to absolutely odd.

To find the weirdest of the weird, UPI looked through headlines from 2023 to identify the ten oddest Guinness World Records of 2023.

Here's a little bit about what they found. Some of these records will certainly never be broken. Here are the 10 oddest Guinness World Records set in 2023.

A tabby cat in Missouri took the record. It reportedly jumped nine times, according to UPI. The cat's name is Kit Kat and she's even been on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Congratulations Kimberly Winter of Maryland! She reportedly let out a belch that measured 107 decibels, according to UPI. UPI points out that's "as loud as a motorcycle at full throttle."

Who's a good boy? Rocky is a good boy! The boxer from Bloomington, Illinois had his tongue measured in at 5.46 inches from tip of snout to tip of tongue, according to UPI. I'm just wondering why they had to include "living dog?" Please don't tell me they're also measuring dead dogs.

Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari, or Iran, was able to balance 88 spoons across his body. He beat out the record previously held by...Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari of Iran! UPI says his previous record was 85 spoons. UPI says he "developed the skill to where he can use his natural adhesive properties to lift an entire adult person off the ground." Yeah, that record isn't getting beat any time soon.

This record is held by a 13-year old! Avery Emerson Fisher combined her interests of scuba and magic when she performed 38 tricks in one minute while submerged in a tank at San Francisco's Aquarium of the Bay, according to UPI. UPI says "she hopes her record will inspire others to take up scuba diving and raise awareness of ocean conversation."

Other records included on UPI's 10 oddest records of 2023 include: longest distance, full-body burn run, without oxygen; most couples eating a single piece of spaghetti simultaneously; fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head blindfolded; longest mustache on a living person; and fastest five meters on a scooter by a parrot. You can read more about all of those records here.

Some records are impressive, like running a mile in 3 minutes, 43 seconds. Or even fastest mile running backwards at 5 minutes, 54 seconds. But other records are just weird. And that's what this list is about . . .

The news site UPI put together a list of the weirdest world records broken in 2022. Here are the top ten in no particular order . . .

A bald guy in Wisconsin did ten at once. He claims he has a weird skin condition where his pores suck in oxygen.

A guy in Iraq did 18 eggs.

A guy in Oregon did it in just under 2 minutes and 9 seconds.

They're the hottest in the world.  A guy from California did it in 33 seconds.

A teenager in Vermont crushed the old record of 49 feet.  She walked back and forth on a tightrope and never fell.  She decided to stop at just under 640 feet.

178 people named "Hirokazu Tanaka" got together in Japan back in October.  The previous record was 164 "Martha Stewarts" in 2005.

The guy in Idaho who's turned breaking records into a CAREER did it . . . just under 85 feet.  His name is David Rush.  It was the 250th world record he's broken.

A guy paddled a hollowed-out pumpkin 37.5 miles down the Missouri River.  His daughter was maybe TOO proud of him at the finish line.  She broke down in tears.

You have to add feet, arms and a face.  A guy in Malaysia did it in 5.43 seconds.

Last month, a bunch of guys in Wyoming tied their beards together and hit 150 feet.  The old record was 62 feet, 6 inches.
