AMAZING THINGS THE HUMAN BODY CAN DO

THE SPIDERMAN

Dubbed the ‘human spider’, Alain Robert proved that a person could climb

the tallest skyscrapers without using ropes or any climbing equipment.

Some of his accomplishments include the Eiffel tower, the Sydney

Opera House and the Sears Tower.

UNDERWATER ADVENTURE

Tim Yarrow holds the record for the longest time submerged in water after

spending 10 days in a tank in a South African mall. He obviously had

special provisions made for food, oxygen, and excretions.

IRON TONGUE

Thomas Blackthorne set the record for most weight lifted by a human

tongue when he picked up a 12 kg weight that was attached to a

hook in his mouth.

SWORD-SWALLOWER

Swallowing 18 swords at one time, it took Chayne Hultgren 15 years to

work up to breaking the record.

MOLE MAN

William Lyttle of London managed to single-handedly dig one of the

craziest complexes of suburban tunnels in the world until he was

stopped by British authorities.

EYE POPPING

Literally, the most eye-popping woman in the world; Kim Goodman set a

bizarre world record in 2007 with her ability to pop her eyeballs out of her

eye sockets up to 12 millimetres.

NEEDLES IN THE HEAD

Mohanathas Sivanayagam broke this painful record by sticking 2,025

needles into his head. The needles were inserted at least 1.5 centimetres

deep to keep them from falling.

MILK-SQUIRTER

In 2004, Ilker Yilmaz achieved the farthest milk squirt from an eye

when he squirted milk at a distance of 9 feet, 2 inches. He did this by

pouring milk in his hand, snorting it up his nose, and then

squirting it out of his eye socket.
