<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The weird and wonderful Guinness World Records returns for its 60th anniversary edition with the 2015 release of the popular book.<\/p>\n
Of course, it’s once again filled with the most unbelievable records, featuring colossal collections, baffling body parts and obscenely enormous objects.<\/p>\n
Among the highlights of the upcoming celebratory edition is Nick Stoeberl, a 24-year-old Californian native with the world’s longest tongue.<\/p>\n
The magnificent muscle stretches for 10.1 inches. His impressions of KISS bassist Gene Simmons as a child led to the realisation his tongue was extraordinary.<\/p>\n
“I’m not only able to lick my nose, but also my elbow,” the record breaker said.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, a Lancashire collector has broken the record for the largest stash of James Bond memorabilia.<\/p>\n
Nick Bennett from Leigh has amassed 12,463 items in total, including posters, figurines, props and toys.<\/p>\n
Anyone who enjoys a trip to the golf course will certainly find this next listing desirable, as a professional golfer from Denmark has created the world’s largest usable club.<\/p>\n
Karsten Maas has a 4.37-metre long golf club, which he has used to drive a ball 165.4 metres. Of course, it’s not ideal to fit in the golf bag, and the distance doesn’t really make up for the effort. But still, it makes it a lot more difficult to miss the ball!<\/p>\n
A couple of military based records have been broken this year too. The first comes from Northamptonshire, in the form of the world’s oldest weekly music magazine.<\/p>\n
Originally published in September 1887 as “The British Bandsman – a Monthly Magazine for Bandmasters and Members of Military and Brass Bands,” the magazine became a weekly edition in 1902 under the guidance of John Henry Iles and has been going strong ever since.<\/p>\n
Across the pond, the United Service Organizations (USO) has broken the record for the most signatures collected on a flag.<\/p>\n
Some 115,405 signatures from all 50 US states and seven countries we gathered on the “Every Moment Counts” flag, which measures 80 ft by 120 ft and weighs 350 lbs.<\/p>\n
The campaign intends to recognise the service that troops and veterans provide for their country and praise their selflessness and dedication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
