Meet Stoeberl, an artist and comedian from Monterey in California. He is a Guiness Record Holder because he can stick his massive tongue out farther than others. It measures 3.97 inches from tip to closed lip, which is unusually long. 
 
That's not all. People are record holders for all sorts of weird reasons - for blowing the largest bubble gum bubble or for scoring the highest on a Donkey Kong. 
 We scanned a list of the record holders and found out some interesting reasons why <keyword id="62551" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Guinness-World-record">Guinness World Record</keyword> honour was bestowed upon people, countries and animals. Here are 11 times when it was handed over to people for some of the weirdest reasons: 
 
Longest finger nails <keyword id="2783127" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shridhar-Chillal">Shridhar Chillal</keyword> has been determinedly growing his nails for 62 long years - but his dedication has paid off since he is officially recognised by Guinness <keyword id="60321" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Records">World Records</keyword> as the person with the Longest fingernails on a single hand ever. 
 
He has not cut the fingernails on his left hand since 1952 – before even the first Guinness World Records book was published – and they now have a cumulative length of 909.6 cm (358.1 in), as measured in Pune, Maharashtra on 17 November 2014. 
 
Fastest internet connection 
According to Cisco, South Korea has the best broadband service in the world, with an average download throughput of 33.5 megabits per second – nearly three times the speed of second-place Hong Kong – an average upload throughput of 17 megabits per second – more than twice that of Hong Kong, and has 100 percent broadband penetration. 
 
<keyword id="3873363" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="longest-fur-on-a-cat">Longest fur on a cat</keyword> 
The longest fur on a cat is 25.68 cm (10.11 in) and belongs to Sophie Smith, owned by Jami Smith (USA), as measured in Oceanside, California, USA, on 09 November 2013. 
 
Highest divorce rate 
 
 According to the UN, the country with the highest divorce rate in the world is the <keyword id="6354908" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maldives">Maldives</keyword> with 10.97 divorces per 1,000 inhabitants per year. This is followed by the Belarus with 4.63 and the United States wih 4.34. 
 
Longest ears on a dog The longest ears on a dog measured 31.1 cm (12.25 in) and 34.3 cm (13.5 in) for the left and right ears, respectively, on 8 June 2010. They belong to Harbor, a Black and Tan Coonhound, who is owned by <keyword id="3091483" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jennifer-Wert">Jennifer Wert</keyword> of Colorado, USA. Harbor is a 7 year old Coonhound (b. July 2003) who weighs a healthy 40.51kg (89.2 pounds). 
 
Heaviest birth - triplets 
The heaviest triplets at birth (current) are Evan Patrick, Aiden Cole and Lilly Kathryn (all USA), who had a combined weight of 10.33 kg (22 lb 12.6 oz) and were born to Michelle Lee Wilson on 29 July 2003 at Englewood, Colorado, USA. 
 Carried for 257 days, <keyword id="3091484" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Evan-Patrick-Wilson">Evan Patrick Wilson</keyword> weighed 3.89 kg (8lb 9.4 oz), Aiden Cole Wilson weighed 3.32 kg (7 lb 5.4 oz) and Lilly Kathryn Wilson weighed 3.11 kg (6 lb 13.8 oz). 
 
Highest score on Donkey Kong 
The highest score on Donkey Kong (Nintendo, 1981) is 1,138,600 points, and was achieved by Robbie Lakeman (USA) on 1 December 2014. This gameplay and high score is confirmed by Twin Galaxies. 
 
Largest bubblegum bubble blown 
 
Chad Fell (USA) blew a bubblegum bubble with a diameter of 50.8 cm (20 in) without using his hands at the Double Springs High School, Winston County, Alabama, USA on 24 April 2004. 
 
Farthest eyeball pop 
Kim Goodman (USA) can pop her eyeballs to a protrusion of 12 mm (0.47 in) beyond her eye sockets. Her eyes were measured in Istanbul, Turkey, on 2 November 2007. 
 
Measuring the pop is an exact science that has to be done by an optometrist using a device known as a proptometer; an average of three measurements gives the final, eye‑watering result. 
 
“Proptosis” is the term for eyeball displacement or bulging eyes. Kim discovered her talent when she was hit on the head by a hockey mask, but can now pop out her eyes on cue. 
 
Longest kiss 
The longest kiss lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds and was achieved by Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat (both Thailand) at an event organised by Ripley's Believe It or Not! Pattaya, in Thailand, on 12-14 February 2013. Nine couples entered the annual competition, including a married couple in their 70s. However, it was previous record holders Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat who came out on top, scooping a cash prize and two diamond rings as well as another Guinness World records title. 
 
World largest Condom Mosaic 
 
IIM-Lucknow students used 1000 packets to create a huge sign of AIDS awareness in 18.5 square feet area. This is what their symbol looked like. They had beaten the record by AIDS Control Society of Hong Kong, which used 685 condoms packets to create the largest condom mosaic back then.

But let's break that down. By the time I finish reading this sentence, 20 million new cells have just been replaced in your body. 20 million, in just a few seconds. Compound that over a lifetime, and, well, your body achieves some pretty incredible feats.Let's start with our largest organ: skin. It reproduces about<a href="https://askabiologist.asu.edu/cell-division"> 30,000 to 40,000</a> cells every minute. That means we shed a whole layer of outer skin every two to four weeks, or <a href="https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2011/may/the-skinny-on-how-shed-skin-reduces-indoor-air-pollution.html">1,000 bodies worth</a> in a lifetime. And underneath your skin lies a vast network of blood vessels. Spread out, this network of veins, arteries, and capillaries would extend over <a href="https://www.fi.edu/heart/blood-vessels">100,000 miles</a>. That's long enough to wrap around Earth's equator <a href="https://www.space.com/17638-how-big-is-earth.html">four times. </a>And through those blood vessels, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=0QD7Art0pXQC&amp;pg=PA19&amp;lpg=PA19&amp;dq=the+heart+pumps+7500+liters+of+blood+every+day.&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=G-XTQ1zPx7&amp;sig=ACfU3U3-mwsvVoBWzRC7kyJY1hyOvLkYcQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiz15j0--nkAhWSjVkKHTtzADQQ6AEwE3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=the%20heart%20pumps%207500%20liters%20of%20blood%20every%20day.&amp;f=false">the heart pumps about 7,500 liters of blood every day. </a>That's an estimated 215 million liters throughout your life. Or enough blood to fill a whopping 86 <a href="http://www.patagoniaalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/How-much-water-does-an-Olympic-sized-swimming-pool-hold.pdf">Olympic swimming pools</a>. Now, the red color in your blood comes from<a href="http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2419"> hemoglobin proteins and iron. </a>You get that iron mainly from your diet. Which is then absorbed into your <a href="http://www.irondisorders.org/absorption/">bloodstream from your gut. </a>The average adult will have<a href="http://www.irondisorders.org/how-much-iron-is-in-the-body/"> 3 to 4 grams of iron at any given time. </a>But will lose and replace 1.5 milligrams every day. So over a lifetime, you'll absorb at least<a href="http://www.irondisorders.org/how-much-iron-is-in-the-body/"> 43 grams worth.</a>That's equivalent to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/National-Hardware-N278-184-V7710-Bright/dp/B005POY1WY/ref=asc_df_B009AR2T0I/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=198097826602&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=13492345328747596395&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9067609&amp;hvtargid=pla-319123917722&amp;th=1">10 standard iron nails. </a>And speaking of 10 nails. Your fingernails grow at a rate of <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1468-3083.2009.03426.x">3.5 millimeters per month. </a>That means, if you went your entire life without ever cutting them….they could get to more than 3 meters long. <a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2018/7/owner-of-worlds-longest-nails-has-them-cut-after-growing-them-for-66-years-532563?fb_comment_id=1756049367764696_1756721084364191">Shridhar Chillal, for example, stopped cutting his nails when he turned 14.</a> And before he finally cut it when he was 82 his thumbnail <a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2018/7/owner-of-worlds-longest-nails-has-them-cut-after-growing-them-for-66-years-532563?fb_comment_id=1756049367764696_1756721084364191">was almost 2 meters long.</a>But your fingernails grow at a snail's pace compared to your hair. On average, each hair grows <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/kids/hair/how-hair-grows">12.5 millimeters per month.</a> So, over a lifetime, that's about 12 meters of hair! Almost the length of an American school bus. And if you look at what else your head produces on the regular, saliva is a big one.You produce on average<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5052503/"> 1 liter every day. </a>That's about 28,600 liters over a lifetime, or enough to fill <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lifesmart-Rock-Solid-Simplicity-Person/dp/B003G45CKK/">39 four-person hot tubs. </a>But believe it or not, you actually produce more mucus and snot each day than saliva. About <a href="https://www.vox.com/2015/2/11/8013065/mucus-snot-boogers">1.4 liters</a>. That's about 54 hot tubs worth over your lifetime. And the best news you swallow most of that. OK, all that liquid goes somewhere, so let's talk about the other end and our urine. The average healthy adult produces anywhere from<a href="https://www.livestrong.com/article/516316-what-is-normal-urinary-output-for-an-adult/"> 400 to 2,000 milliliters a day</a>. Or on average, 34,400 liters in a lifetime. That's enough to fill 46 hot tubs, gross.Now, that might seem impressive, but it has nothing on <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6406190/">one of your biggest, most important </a>internal organs: <a href="https://www.livescience.com/37009-human-body.html">your liver. </a>Your liver can regenerate itself - sort of like how a starfish can regenerate lost limbs. That's thanks to the enormous amount of <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070411170842.htm">regenerating cells in your liver.</a> In fact, a healthy human could <a href="https://share.upmc.com/2017/04/can-you-live-without-a-liver/">lose 65% of their liver and ultimately be no worse for wear, since it would grow back over just a few months! </a>So when you think about it, your body is like a mini factory, generating loads of cells and fluids daily. But not all your body parts are able to reproduce, your inner ear hairs in charge of hearing never regrow. So if they get damaged, your hearing will suffer, or worse, disappear, and even the most important organ in your body - your brain - <a href="http://www.brains-explained.com/does-your-brain-make-new-cells/">doesn't produce that many new cells</a>. You're born with roughly 90 <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2012/feb/28/how-many-neurons-human-brain">billion nerve cells in your brain,</a> called neurons. And lose, on average, <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00508/full">60 of those neurons every minute</a>.But during a traumatic brain injury, like a stroke, the brain can lose <a href="https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/01.STR.0000196957.55928.ab">millions per minute. </a>That said, the human brain <a href="http://www.brains-explained.com/does-your-brain-make-new-cells/">can still recover from this loss thanks to something called </a>plasticity. Plasticity<a href="https://www.brainhq.com/brain-resources/brain-plasticity/what-is-brain-plasticity/"> describes</a> how our brains' remaining neurons take on different roles and form new connections to make up for any important connections that were lost. So, whether it is adaptation or regeneration. Our bodies go on quite a remarkable journey. So the next time you get a paper cut, try to look on the bright side of things and give thanks to those hardworking cells fixing you right back up.

The human body replaces millions of cells every day. Here's how much skin, blood, and saliva it can produce in a lifetime.
