It’s the end of the holidays, but there’s still time to relax a little and have a good laugh.

We hold on to the human body and its prowess… In China, Yu Xianxia broke the record for the world’s longest eyelashes in 2016: He measured 12.4cm! In 2021, these were even longer: they were 20.5 cm. Yu Xianxia tried to find out scientifically what was causing this incredible growth, but without a plausible answer, he decided to believe in divine intervention. just that!
M&M’s tallest pile
In Australia, we spend our time differently… Brendan Kelby has decided to set the world record for the largest stack of M&Ms in the world. And the result is absurd: The 22-year-old managed to stack 6 chocolate candies…
Most clothespins in the beard
We end up with one last not-so-slick record… the greatest number of clothes hung in a beard! And it’s Joel Strasser who owns it: He managed to clip 359 to his hair in the United States in November 2019…
