When it comes to the world's weirdest achievers, nothing beats the ultimate accolade -- a place in Guinness World Records for demonstrating bizarre skills.
- Using only one hand, Germany's Thomas Vogel unfastened 56 bras in 60 seconds.
- Australian John Allwood smashed 40 watermelons with his head in just one minute.
- Italian Michele Santana wins an entry for typing 57 books backwards.
- Indian yoga instructor G.P Vijayakumar snorted eight fish up through his mouth and out of his nostrils in a minute.
- American Jackie Bibby shared his bath with 75 live western diamondback rattlesnakes.
- Frenchman Michel Lotito claimed the weirdest diet -- over the years he consumed 128 bicycles and 15 supermarket trolleys which he washed down with six chandeliers, two beds and a pair of skis.
- Few could equal the bizarre feat of China's Dong Changsheng -- he pulled a 1.5 tonne car using ropes hooked onto his lower eyelids.
- In the mass participation category, 3,541 Philippine women in Manila shared the record for the most women ever to have breastfed their babies simultaneously.
- The top prize for survival has to go to American park ranger Roy C.Sullivan -- he was struck by lightning seven times. Each strike took its toll -- he lost eyebrows and a toe nail as well as suffering singed hair and chest burns. He died in 1993 -- not killed by lightning but by his own hand after reportedly being rejected in love.
