10 of the Weirdest Guinness World Records Ever

It includes this guy, who has the stretchiest skin we've ever seen.

Trivia time: The idea for the Guinness Book of World Records came out of an argument Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery, had on a hunting trip in the early 1950s. He wasn't able to find the answer to the fastest game bird in any reference book.

Later, that inspired his plan for Guinness to do a promotion around a book that would settle pub arguments. That first book, written by Norris and Ross McWhirter, was published August 27, 1955.

1|Most Big Macs Consumed in a Lifetime.

Go, 'Murica. U.S. resident Donald A. Gorske consumed his 26,000th McDonald's Big Mac on October 11, 2012 — after 40 years of eating Big Macs on a daily basis.

2| Stretchiest

British man Garry Turner can stretch the skin of his stomach to 6.25 inches due to a rare medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It's a connective-tissue disorder where the collagen becomes defective, and includes the loosening of the skin

and hyper-mobile joints. "I have always known that my skin was different — as a small child my uncles used to have fun showing their friends," Turner told GWR. "Stretching doesn't hurt at all. However, other aspects of the syndrome are very painful, [like my] joints."

3| Most Piercings in a Lifetime

After her first skin piercing in January 1997, Elaine Davidson was hooked. The Brazilian former restaurant owner has been pierced a total of 4,225 times as of June 8, 2006. The GWR site says she is constantly adding and

replacing jewelry, primarily on her face,
but also likes adding tattoos, makeup, and feathers in her hair.

4| Longest Fingernails Ever on a Woman

It took American Lee Redmond nearly 30 years to grown her nails out to the record-holding 28 feet, 4.5 inches in February 2008. The longest single nail was her right thumb, which reached to 2 feet, 11 inches. "I started to grow my nails

in 1979 ... it was kind of a challenge to myself to see how far they would go before they started twisting out of shape," she said. Unfortunately, her nails snapped off in a 2009 car accident.

5| Farthest Arrow Shot Using Feet

Bullseye! Nancy Siefker shot an arrow into a target 20 feet away —using her feet! — on the set of Guinness World Records Unleashed in Los Angeles, California, on June 20, 2013. Now, the guidelines only require a target of 12 inches in diameter
