BIZARRE PEOPLE
Added on: 6th Nov 2015
MAN WITH THE WORLD’S LONGEST HAIR
Although he never got his hair officially measured and acknowledged
by the Guinness Book of Records, Vietnamese herbalist Tran Van Hay
was known as the man with the longest hair in the world. According to
his wife, Tran had not had a haircut in more than fifty years and only
washed it a few times (the last time being eleven years ago). Unfortunately,
Tran Van Hay died in 2010 at the age of 79.
THE MAN WITH THE BIGGEST MOUTH IN THE WORLD
Francisco Domingo Joaquim is an ordinary man from Angola with an
“extraordinary” ability. He’s the proud holder of the record for the world’s
biggest mouth. His mouth measures seventeen cm (6.69 inches), and he
can fit anything in it from soda cans to his wallet.
MOST TATTOOED WOMAN IN HISTORY
On June 29, 2011, a fifty-three-year-old woman named Cynthia Martell
was found dead in her home on the 1500 block of Laguna Avenue.
The crazy thing about this story is that 97 percent of her body was
covered with tattoos, which pretty much made her the most
tattooed woman in recorded history.
THE MOST OFFICIALLY DEAD PERSON
Lal Bihari is an Indian farmer and activist from Amilo who was officially
dead between 1975 and 1994. He fought with the Indian bureaucracy
for nineteen years to prove that he was indeed alive and well.
THE REAL MR. FREEZE
Wim Hof’s a Dutch world-record holder, adventurer, and daredevil commonly
nicknamed the Iceman for his extraordinary ability to withstand below
freezing temperatures. Keep in mind that he once submerged himself in an
ice bath for one hour and fifty-two minutes.
THE MAN WHO PERMANENTLY RAISED HIS HAND
TO THE HEAVENS
Sadhu Amar Bharati first raised his arm in 1973 in honour of the god
Shiva, and hasn’t put it down since.
THE WOMAN WITH THE SMALLEST WAIST IN THE WORLD
Michele Kobke, a twenty-six-year-old woman from Germany, has shrunk
her waist down from twenty-five inches to sixteen by wearing a corset
every day for three years, even while sleeping. And despite having a
waist smaller than most catwalk models, she says she hopes to whittle
her waist down to a shocking fourteen inches.
THE DAREDEVIL WHO “FLIRTS” WITH DEATH
ON A REGULAR BASIS
Eskil Ronningsbakken is an extreme artist from Norway who travels all
around the globe to enact incredible death-defying performances. He’s
usually performing balancing acts at the top of lethal drops such as
canyons and cliffs. He first got into the art of balancing when he was five
years old and has been shocking the world with his amazing feats ever since.
THE WOMAN WHO REMEMBERS EVERYTHING
Jill Price claims to remember everything since her teens such as what
time she awoke, what she ate, who she met. All of this is in her brain and
can be triggered by songs, smells, or locations. She considers it a curse
because since she can’t forget things it is a burden on her sanity and
does not give her much peace.
