Top 10 Bizarre World Records
World records are made after a long, hard struggle, and it can take years of practice and effort to register your name in the record section. Even after this, not many people are aware of who is the longest, smallest, fattest or slimmest person on earth.
The name of the Guinness Book of World Records has earned immense fame worldwide during the last decade, as it makes note of all the extraordinary things that have been done by an individual or a group of people. While some of these records are fairly common, a number of them are just downright bizzare.
