Some of them must've drank a lot of beer to even think about these.

1
Largest Collection of "Star Wars" Memorabilia. Former Wall Street Journal bureau chief who went to work at Lucasfilm, Steve Sansweet, turned his Star Wars obsession of 37 years into a museum. He's amassed an estimated 300,000 unique items at Rancho Obi-Wan in northern California. By May 4, 2014, he'd "only" accurately audited and catalogued 92,240 items — still sufficient to beat the previous title holder many times over.

2
Most Guinness World Records. Twenty-seven thousand jumping jacks, done in six hours and forty-five minutes, was Ashrita Furman's first record, in 1979. With skills as diverse as fastest mile on a pogo stick while juggling three balls to mountain climbing on stilts, he's broken more than 300 records since. Today, he holds more than 120 records.

3
Farthest Arrow Shot Using Feet. Bullseye! Nancy Siefker shot an arrow into a target 20 feet away — using her feet! — on the set of Guinness World Records Unleashed in Los Angeles, California, on June 20, 2013. Now, the guidelines only require a target of 12 inches in diameter. But Nancy, who's a cirque performer, hit a just 5.5 inch one.
4
Longest Kiss Ever. Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat's love has gone the distance — clocking a kiss at 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. The couple, from Thailand, won at a Ripley's Believe it or Not event on February 12-14, 2013. (They brought home a cash prize and two diamond rings!)

5
Longest Legs. Russian woman Svetlana Pankratova officially has the world's longest legs, measuring 51.9 inches (approximately a little over 4 feet) on July 8, 2003.
6
Most Canned Drinks Opened by a Parrot in One Minute. Ever wonder just how many cans a bird could open? Zac the Macaw unopened 35 cans in one minute in San Jose, California, on January 12, 2012.
7
Longest Tongue on a Dog. Puggy, a Pekingese, possesses the longest licker on record at 4.5 inches. The measurement was taken at Avondale Haslet Animal Clinic, Texas, in May 2009, when he was 9 years old.

8
Fastest 5 Meters on Front Paws by a Dog . Konjo managed to race 5 meters on his front paws in just 2.39 seconds in California, December 22, 2014. Konjo is half Papillon, a quarter Jack Russell, and a quarter Chihuahua.
9
Oldest Male Stripper. Bernie Barker. The American (a former real estate agent) got into stripping in 2000 at age 60, as a way to get in shape after overcoming prostate cancer. He won over 40 contests. Unfortunately, he died in 2007 at the age of 66.
10
Longest Career as an Ice Cream Man. You all know that sound of summer — but Allan Ganz has been hearing it for 69 years and counting. He started selling ice cream with his dad in 1947 at the age of 10 in Peabody, Massachusetts. Allan bought his own ice cream truck in 1977 and has sold ice cream in Massachusetts ever since.

11
Most Wins for "Gurning," a.k.a. Making a Face. Is this a thing you ask? It is. Anne Woods doesn't worry about that though, as the British woman has won the most world championships for gurning — 27 — between 1977 and 2010. The Egremont Crab Fair in Cumbria, England, where the championships are held, was established in 1267, which makes it one of the oldest fairs in the world.
12
Most Big Macs Consumed in a Lifetime. Where? America. Donald A. Gorske consumed his 26,000th McDonald's Big Mac on October 11, 2012 — after 40 years of eating Big Macs on a daily basis.
13
Largest Collection of Garden Gnomes and Pixies. At her four-acre "Gnome Reserve" in West Putford, England, Ann Atkin has 2,042 gnomes and pixies, as of March 2011. That must be a lot of pots of gold.

14
Largest Collection of Rubber Ducks. Charlotte Lee (USA) has 5,631 different rubber ducks, as of 10 April 2011, which she has been collecting since 1996. People say "why?" but Charlotte doesn't give a duck.
15
Most Wins at the World Beard and Mustache Championships. What he lacks in length, Karl-Heinz Hille makes up for in style. The German has taken home 8 wins at the World Beard and Moustache Championships, competing in the Imperial partial beard category.
16
Longest Mustache. Ram Singh Chauhan's mustache is the longest, at 14 feet. The Indian man's facial hair was measured in Rome, Italy, on March 4, 2010.

17
Longest Fingernails Ever on a Woman. It took American Lee Redmond nearly 30 years to grown her nails out to the record-holding 28 feet, 4.5 inches in February 2008. The longest single nail was her right thumb, which reached to 2 feet, 11 inches. "I started to grow my nails in 1979 ... it was kind of a challenge to myself to see how far they would go before they started twisting out of shape," she said.
18
Longest Metal Coil Passed Through the Nose and Out of the Mouth. Apparently, that's a real thing. And Andrew Stanton, a sideshow performer in Las Vegas, achieved the length of 11 feet, 10.91 inches in March 2012.
19
Longest Distance Keeping a Table Lifted With Teeth. Georges Christen from Luxembourg ran 38 feet and 8 inches while carrying a 26 pound table — and a 110 pound woman sitting on it! — in his mouth in Madrid, Spain, on February 9, 2008. My teeth hurt just by thinking about it.

20
Most Piercings in a Lifetime. Elaine Davidson, former restaurant owner from Brazil, has been pierced a total of 4,225 times as of June 8, 2006. Yikes!
21
