THE FASTEST HALF-MARATHON PUSHING A PRAM
This record is one to shoot for if you don’t want to let parenthood slow you down. The female record is currently held by Nancy Schubring of the United States. She completed the half-marathon in 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 51 seconds.
The male record is 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 8 seconds, held by Neil Davison of the U.K.
If you’re not a parent and still want to attempt a bizarre running record, you can always practice running in a full suit, running wearing scuba-diving flippers, or running in several other strange fashions.
MOST TOILET SEATS BROKEN BY THE HEAD IN ONE MINUTE
You have to wonder who came up with some of these records. Usually the head and the toilet seat are not the most compatible elements, except when stereotypical high school bullies are involved. The record for most wooden toilet seats broken in a minute with the head is 46. The record is held by Kevin Shelley of the United States. See the video here
MOST STEPS WALKED BY A DOG BALANCING A GLASS OF WATER
Don’t worry! Your pets can be world record holders, too. If your dog regularly helps you set the dinner table, this might be the record to shoot for.
Sweet Pea, an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie, currently holds both records in this category. Sweet Pea has walked a record 10 steps up going backwards and 10 steps down going forwards while balancing a glass of water.
LONGEST DISTANCE PULLED BY A HORSE (FULL-BODY BURN)
This one may just take the cake for the most bizarre. Neither part of this record—being dragged by a horse or being set on fire—seems at all appealing. Maybe this just goes to show the lengths people will go to get their name in this book.
The record distance is 472.8 meters (1151 feet 2 inches), achieved by Halapi Roland of Hungary
