DUISBURG, GERMANY – SEPTEMBER 01: A representative from the Guinness Book of World Records Jack Brockba stands next to the Sandburg sandcastle on September 1, 2017 in Duisburg, Germany. A local travel agency commissioned the building of the sandcastle and sought to beat the previous world record of 14.84 meters and make it with 16.68 meters to set the new Guinness Book of World Record. The Sandburg took three weeks to build and is made from 3,500 tons of sand. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)

You may have heard me talk about some of these throughout the year. Just dumb things people do to get in the World Records Book. Well, here they are...the top ten dumbest World Records.

Pop Can Suctioned To A Person's Head.

A guy in Wisconsin did it. He said his head just naturally sucks in oxygen. Ok...

Balancing Eggs On The Back Of Your Hand

Another dumb "record" broke. A very talented guy in Iraq holds this record. He must be the toast of his town.

Furthest Tightrope Walk In Heels

Like I said, there's a dumb record for everything. This one belongs to a teen in Vermont. I'll admit, it is kinda impressive.

Fastest Time To Find And Alphabetize All 26 Letters In A Can Of Alphabet Soup.

I didn't even know this was a "thing". Congrats to a guy in Oregon, I suppose.

Assembling Mr. Potato Head In The Shortest Time

I talked about this on the radio earlier this week. They must have a lot of time on their hands in Malaysia.

Blowing a Pea The Furthest Distance With One Breathe

Who would've thunk?! A guy in Idaho did this, impressively, for his 250th World Record!

Longest Beard Chain??

I didn't even know what this one was supposed to be about. Whatever, these guys destroyed the old record.

Longest Journey By Pumpkin Boat

Once again, I have a life to lead so I don't know about pumpkin boats. 38 miles? Are you kidding me??

Biggest Gathering Of People With Same First And Last Name

Yes, there's a record for this, too. No, John Smith was not there....or the other John Smith. This one took place in October in Japan. The old record was held by "Martha Stewarts".

The Fastest time To Eat Ten Carolina Hot Peppers

I saved the best for last. This is genuinely impressive. A guy in California did it in 33 seconds!
