You may think beating a world record by growing the largest watermelon or having the most weddings in one hour is weird enough, but these wacky world records held here by these determined folks will have you scratching your head.
From ironing under water to "eye-popping" hysterics, check out the following wacky world records below:
Underground Living

Longest Ear Hair
