The 10 Most Ridiculous Records Set in 2010
2010 was a year of records. You probably heard about Devin Hester’s record setting punt return, Joe Paterno’s 400th victory, or UConn’s 88 game win streak. These records are all great, but they aren’t really that crazy. Here are the 10 most ridiculous records set in 2010.
Largest Group of People to Run Into a Wall and Fall Down
28 people from the 1st Richmond Hill Scout Troop ran into a wall and fell down. It could have been 29, but one person decided to remain standing.
Most Bananas to Fit Into a Pair of Pants While Wearing Them
Henri Mazza fit 148 bananas in his pants at one time.
Most Bunnies Snuggled With in a Hammock
Could it get any more comfortable than this? Actually, Nathan, a radio DJ from Perth, Australia, doesn’t look like he’s enjoying the snuggly warmth of 50 bunnies all that much. Nathan beat out the previous record holder, Cameron Diaz, by two bunnies.
Here’s Cameron Diaz’s record setting attempt.
