Boy sticks 43 snails to his face


A Utah boy has broken a world record by sticking 43 snails on his face.

Eleven-year-old Fin Keleher likes snails. So he tried to break a world record of putting the most snails on his face..

Keleher had to keep 37 snails on his face for ten seconds. His family helped put them on and then did the countdown.

It took him two tries before he was successful and when he counted them, 43 of the slimy creatures had stayed on his face.

Keleher says the snails pinched his face, but he apparently didn't mind the slimy part.

"I closed my eyes and covered up my mouth with… well, I sucked my lips in so that they could crawl on that," Keleher said.

I think you all will agree with me when I say that middle school boys are weird and gross.

Man threatens to clone himself 14 times and raise all the kids on welfare


A man who is upset about Octomom is threatening to clone himself 14 times and raise the kids on welfare.

"I feel like I'm paying for everybody's kids. Women do this sort of crap all the time and I think if a man did it, welfare would wind up being better regulated ", states Gerard "Big Red" White.

He says that he will clone himself if Octomom Nadya Suleman gets fame and fortune from her fourteen children.

He will reconsider however if people buy him a beer.

Worlds Longest Fingernails Broken


A Salt Lake City Woman who had the worlds longest fingernails broke them in a car crash.

Redmond had serious injuries after being ejected from her SUV but they were not life threatening.

Each fingernail measured approximately 30 inches long and hadn’t been cut since 1979. The longest nail was her right thumb at 2 feet 11 inches.
Despite the insane length of her nails, she insists it doesn’t prevent her from carrying out every day tasks such as vacuming, driving and cleaning.

Redmond also cares for her husband who has suffered from Alzheimer’s for the past six years.

She was once offered $100,000 to cut her nails but never nailed down a time to to so.

She is currently hospitalized and listed in serious condition.

Wow, those are some fingernails. I can't imagine it's easy to wash your hair with nails like that. They kind of look like something crazy from a comic book.

Woman breaks world record for largest breasts

A Texas woman has broken a world record for the biggest breast implants, 38KKK.

The 28-year-old, a Texas housewive, has had nine operations to get her up to this size.

She traveled to Brazil to get her last procedure which took her from an FFF to a KKK after Texas officials refused to do it, for fear that her breasts could explode.

Hershey, from Houston, said: "To me, big is beautiful. I don't think I have anything to worry about."

Hershey is now in record books for having the biggest breast implants ever.

I wonder if she's able to swim to the bottom of a pool. Those things look like flotation devices.

Chefs in Mexico make the worlds biggest cheesecake


Chefs in Mexico spent hours making the worlds largest strawberry cheesecake.

Chef Miguel Angel Quezada says 55 cooks spent 60 hours making the world's biggest cheesecake — a 2-ton calorie bomb topped with strawberries.

The monster cake used nearly a ton of cream cheese, the same amount of yogurt, 350 kilograms (772 pounds) of pastry, 250 kilograms (551 pounds) of sugar and 150 kilograms (331 pounds) of butter.

However, this is the only cheesecake that has competed to be the world's largest. Expect their record to be topped soon.

Record snowball fight failed


A group of college students in Wisconsin failed in their attempt to have the worlds largest snowball fight.

Freshman organizer Mike Basak had hoped the epic snowball fight would break a 2006 record set by 3,700 students at Michigan Technological University, but acknowledged Saturday that the turnout at his school was disappointing.

Basak guessed that 2,000 or more students showed up, but other observers put the total at hundreds of students, not thousands.

"It was definitely huge and it was a great event," he said.

In advance of the fight, more than 4,000 people had joined the event's Facebook group, and word continued to spread as rival dormitories got ready to rumble in the center of campus.

School officials also prepared, recruiting a student group of volunteer emergency medical technicians to be on the scene.

Basak said no one was hurt in the melee, although "there were a few bumps and scrapes."

It is thought that the chilly temperatures and a basketball game caused the numbers to be reduced. The organizer said that he will try again next year.

Perhaps he should offer free hot chocolate to the participants.

California Woman is now oldest person


A woman in California has been named the worlds oldest person. Gertrude Baines is 114 and lives in a nursing home in Los Angeles.

When CNN interviewed Baines two years ago, she was asked to explain why she thought she has lived so long.

"God. Ask him. I took good care of myself, the way he wanted me to," Baines said.

Her only child, a daughter, died of typhoid fever at age 18.

Much of her long life was lived in Ohio, where she worked as a "house mom" at a state university. She eventually divorced and traveled to Los Angeles, where she retired.

She lived on her own till she was 105! What a lady.

Don't try this. Ever!


A man in China is upset that the Guinness Book of World Records wil not give him credit for pulling cars with hooks laced through holes in his eye sockets.

Luo Deyuan, 21, said his feat of ocular strength was kept out of the record books because officials decided it was too dangerous, Britain's The Sun reported Thursday.


However, Luo said he has not given up on his dreams of Guinness Book glory. He plans to submit more stunt proposals to the world record authority -- including lifting buckets of water with his eyebrows, walking on sharp blades and stopping electric fans with his tongue.


Sounds like he's got a real need to be maimed. I hope someone tells him to stop it before he gets hurt.
