1. The heaviest weight supported by a human tongue
This record is held by Thomas Blackthorne, who lifted 12 kilograms using just his tongue. That is incredible. He set the record in 2004 without injuring himself.
2. The record of holding the most records
This title is held by Ashrita Furman, a 62- year-old man. He used to hold around 600 records; however, many other people broke some of his records, taking 200 away from him.
3. The world’s biggest diamond found
The world’s largest diamond was found in 1905, in the Premier Diamond Mine, South Africa. It is worth around 400 million dollars, as it comes in at 3106.75 carats.
4. The tallest man in the world
The tallest man in the world was Robert Wadlow. In 1940, he measured a whopping 2.72 meters. He was so tall because he was diagnosed with hyperplasia when he was a kid, which was never treated.
5. Most football goals scored in a calendar year
Messi scored an unbelievable 91 goals in a year in the football season 2011/12. Messi played for Barcelona when this happened, and it is not surprising that he holds this record.
