Forget boring world records—these 10 WTF entries are why we love Guinness. Trust us, you won’t want to skip a single one.
TOP10. The Scorpion Queen (Total Badass!)


Kanchana from Thailand has an insane tolerance for scorpions—earning her the title of Scorpion Queen and a Guinness record. She can hold live scorpions in her mouth for 3 minutes and 28 seconds, and she once spent 33 whole days in a 12-square-meter glass room with 5,000 scorpions. Her body is basically immune to poison, and that’s straight-up admirable. We’d be hiding under the bed!

TOP9. Most Needles Inserted in the Face (Whoa!)


Wei Shengchu from China set a Guinness record by getting 2,188 needles inserted into his face. While this might look like something out of a horror movie to some, it’s a wild showcase of the unique charm of acupuncture culture. Respect the commitment, honestly.

TOP8. World’s Fastest Toilet (Yes, Really!)


Colin Furze, a UK plumber with way too much creativity, invented a portable toilet that hits a speed of 88 km/h—snagging the Guinness title for the fastest toilet on the planet. And get this: it’s not just a speed demon. It also comes with a newspaper holder and a working flush, so you can answer nature’s call on the go. We’re equal parts impressed and confused.

TOP7. Largest Collection of Fossilized Poop (Gross, But Cool?)


George Frandsen, an American biologist, has traveled the globe to amass a collection of 1,277 different types of prehistoric fossilized poop. That’s right—he’s the Guinness champ for the biggest stash of coprolites (fossilized feces, for the uninitiated). While this hobby might make most people go “ew,” his collection has given paleontologists tons of priceless data. So hey, someone’s gotta do it!

TOP6. Most Kids Born to One Woman (Insane Fertility!)


A Russian woman named Vasilyeva and her husband had a total of 69 kids over 40 years—including 16 pairs of twins, 4 sets of quadruplets, and 7 sets of triplets. Her fertility is straight-up mind-blowing, so it’s no shock she holds the Guinness record for the most children born to a single woman. Imagine the family dinners!

TOP5. Youngest Woman with a Full Beard (Slay, Queen!)


Harnaam Kaur, a UK-based woman, lives with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes excessive facial hair growth. At just 24, she became the youngest woman in the world to rock a full beard—earning her a spot in Guinness. But here’s the best part: Harnaam didn’t let her unique look bring her down. Instead, she slayed the runway at London Fashion Week and became a total icon. Talk about owning your truth!

TOP4.Longest Time Without a Bath (Yikes!)


An 80-year-old Iranian man from southern Iran named Haji crushed the previous record by going a whopping 60 YEARS without a bath! Haji swears that ditching baths for decades protects his skin and keeps his body healthy. Look, we’re not here to judge—but this take on hygiene is definitely… out of the ordinary. It just goes to show how wildly different people’s ideas of “healthy” can be.

TOP3. World’s Widest Mouth (Say Ahhh!)


Francisco, a guy from Angola, has the widest mouth on Earth—measuring a ridiculous 17 centimeters across. He can easily fit a full can of Coke in there… and even spin it around with his tongue. This one-of-a-kind party trick (we assume?) landed him the Guinness record. We’d pay to see that!

TOP2. Fastest Bra Unbuttoner (Weird Flex, But OK)


Guinness has no shortage of odd categories, and “fastest bra unbuttoning” is right up there with the weirdest. Sean Murray holds the record for unbuttoning 91 bra clasps in just one minute. Don’t be fooled, though—this weird skill didn’t come easy. Dude put in countless hours of practice. We’re low-key curious what his resume looks like.

TOP1.Longest Time Awake (No Sleep Challenge!)


Back in 2011, Taylor Hills, a photographer from LA, took on the absolute chaos of staying awake for 40 straight days. This wild test of human limits caught Guinness’ eye, and shockingly, Taylor pulled it off—bagging the record for the longest anyone’s ever gone without sleep. But here’s the plot twist: this level of sleep deprivation is super dangerous, so Guinness later nixed all records related to skipping sleep entirely.
