Weird record holders of India

Below are some of the Indian record holders for some of their weird acts:

1) Radhakant Bajpai holds a record for growing his ear hair more than five inches long.

2) Vadivelu Karunakaren holds a record for skipping 10 miles in 58 minutes.

3) Arvind Morarbhai Pandya holds a record for running 940 miles backward in 26 days and seven hours.

4) 'Orissa man claims a record for cracking open 72 coconuts by elbow!' as per the Hindustan Times, a leading newspaper. 'Uttar Pradesh boy can write on mustard seeds!' said a headline.

5) As per the Times of India: 'A Man looks to set world record pulling vehicles with mustache.'

6) Guinness Rishi _ yes, his name is Guinness & he holds a record for downing a bottle of ketchup in 39 seconds. Rishi changed his first name from Har Parkash to Guinness after earning a record for being part of a team that kept a motor scooter in motion for 1,001 hours. To claim the record for oldest adoptee, he adopted his 61-year-old brother-in-law. (He's going to beat that one again now that he's 'working with a 90-year-old.') He built the world's tallest sugar cube tower at 64 inches. Rishi is so passionate about Guinness that he wrote in his will _ the longest will in the world, of course _ that he wants his record books used as the kindling at his cremation. (His wife, Bimla, claims to have the record for shortest will in the world: 'All to son.')

7) In June, a doctor couple in southern India boasted that their 15-year-old son had tried to become the world's youngest surgeon by delivering a baby by Caesarean section _ a procedure they proudly filmed.

8) Last year, a 4-year-old boy attempted to run 43 miles to earn a spot in a local record book. Doctors stopped the child after 40 miles and found him to be undernourished and anemic. His coach has been arrested and charged with torturing the child.
