Bizarre World Records  

Sword swallower extraordinaire Dan Meyer swallowed a 24-inch sword blade while submerged underwater with sharks, a new world record. The record was set on May 18, 2007 at Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Tim O’Brien was present as a witness.

Cracka Dawn pushed the limits of open mouthdom by fitting parts of 30 fingers into her mouth at once. The record was set on Friday, August 29, 2008 at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada. Yasuyuki Tsumashika, an Executive Committee member from the Playa Book of Records, videotaped and witnessed the feat. #BM2008
