Longest fingernails 684

Longest fingernails 💅

The owner of the world’s longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female), is Ayanna Williams (USA).

Ayanna has been growing her nails for over 20 years and they now have a combined total length of 576.4 cm (18 ft 10.9 in)! 

The texan uses 2-3 whole bottles of nail polish when giving herself a manicure, and it can take up to 20 hours. Soo longg! 😴

Longest duration with head fully covered in bees 🐝

Nature M S (India), more commonly known as "bee man", stayed with his head fully covered in bees for a staggering 4 hours 10 minutes and 5 seconds in Kerala, India, on 31 December 2017.

Bees. Covering his head. For FOUR hours. Un-bee-lievable! 

This record definitely isn't for everyone... 

Longest zip wire 4

Longest zipwire 💨

The longest zipwire is Jebel Jais Flight, in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

The zipwire is 2,831.88 m (9,290 ft 11 in) long - that's 3 x longer than the Burj Khalifa is tall! (The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world at 830m.)

The attraction is perfect for thrill seekers, as you can gather speeds of up to 150 k/mh (93 mph).

poncho-via-steer-horns

Longest horns on a steer 🐮

From tip to tip, Poncho Via's horns are 323.74 cm (10 ft 7.4 in) – more than twice the width of a concert grand piano!

It means that this steer not only possesses the largest horn spread on a living steer, but has blown all past contenders out of the water to claim the record for largest horn spread on a steer ever too.

Longest monster truck 🚐

Brad and Jen Campbell are the creators of the ‘Sin City Hustler’, the longest monster truck which is an enormous 9.8 m (32 ft) long.

The custom-made vehicle is 3.6 metres (12 ft) tall, weighs a hefty 6,800 kg (15,000 lb) – about the same as a bull elephant – and can fit 12 passengers.

How awesome would it be to ride in this?!

Longest egg noodle Hiroshi

Longest egg noodle 🥚🍜

An experienced Japanese chef took on the challenge to make the world's longest egg noodle (hand made).

Hiroshi Kuroda's noodle had to be made as a single, continuous item from dough, cooked using only hands. 👐

In the end the well-known chef produced a noodle measuring an amazing 183.72 m (602 ft 9 in). If you tipped the Washington Monument on its side, Hiroshi's noodle is 14 m longer!

barivel-being-held-next-to-his-certificate.jpg

Longest cat 🐱

Two-year-old Barivel measures an impressive 120 cm (3 ft 11.2 in) - that's longer than a baseball bat!

The large cat lives with his owners in Pavia, Italy, and was crowned as the longest domestic cat (living) on 22 May 2018.

Barivel's owners, Cinzia Tinnirello and Edgar Scandurra, always knew he was a special cat.

"He is a very special cat for us because he is a little shy... when people see him they are very shocked, but for us he is a little gift... a big gift!" said Edgar. 🎁
