Guiness Book of World Records

[HeIsRisen2018]

I was thinking about it last night with my Rapunzel post and I thought that this would be a rather fun idea since this is technically something that we read. So anyway, I figured that we could post our favorite world record stories and share them with each other in this thread. And since Rapunzel was my inspiration to start this thread, here is some pictures of the world's longest hair.

I was just going to copy and paste what it actually said and site the source but I was sort of worried about copyright. Anyway, imagine trying to brush the tangles out of that every day. Hmm.. that reminds me of someone...

Here's some world record videos because I'm really bored right now and also comfortable with the cat lying down next to me so I really don't want to get up. I hope that you enjoy them!

Paul Anderson lifted over 6000 lbs . His mother was told he'd be weak all his life due to a kidney disease
The Guinness Book of World Records (1985 edition) lists his feat of lifting 6,270 pounds (2,850 kg) in a back lift as "the greatest weight ever raised by a human being".[12] Anderson turned professional after the 1956 Summer Olympics, and so many of his feats of strength, while generally credible, were not done under rigorous enough conditions to be official. Nevertheless, Guinness Book of World Records did cite him in its 1985 edition for a backlift of 6,270 pounds. This became the basis for his reputation as the "World's Strongest Man".[13]
