During 18 years of struggle with the bureaucratic machine, Bihari discovered that there were many like him: about a hundred living people could not prove that they did not die.

He began to “feast” on inedible objects as a child, and from the age of 16 he performed his “meals” publicly
Many people worry that there are no unique features in their appearance. However, there are individuals whose sense of their own “mediocrity” has forced them to look for extremely extravagant ways to attract the attention of others. And there are those who would be happy not to stand out from the crowd, but Mother Nature made arrangements for them. Here is a list of the most unusual people in the world, whose photos prove that they are not the figment of some wild imagination.
30. Chinese Rapunzel
Of the residents different countries, who claim to have the longest hair in the world, the Chinese are one of the last to come to mind.

She said she started growing her hair in 1973, meaning she hadn't cut her hair in 31 years when the record was set.
29. The Man with Giant Nails
Even if your nails are more like claws in size, they are far from the nails of Indian Sridhar Chillal.
He started growing his nails back in the early 1950s because he saw a teacher scold a student who broke a nail. Over the course of 62 years, the nails on his left hand grew to an impressive length of 910 centimeters.
Because of such an impressive size of his nails, the man was unable to get a job, and it’s difficult for him in everyday life. But the Guinness Book of Records requires sacrifice.
28. Woman with eyes popping out of their sockets
There is an expression “his (or her) eyes bulged out of their sockets.” You can see what it really looks like by looking at the photo of Jalisa Thompson. She can do without special effort squeeze eyeballs from orbits, and then return them to the place intended by nature.

Englishman Harry Turner, who holds the title of “the man with the most elastic skin,” has this syndrome. He was able to pull the skin on his abdomen 15.8 centimeters away from the rest of his body.
However, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is no fun as it can lead to ruptured blood vessels and then death.

21. Horned woman
In the Middle Ages, the Chinese woman Liang Xiuzhen, nicknamed the “unicorn woman,” could have been burned at the stake. Fortunately, modern science knows that such a skin horn on the head is caused not by kinship with the Devil, but by a virus. Such formation is life-threatening, as it is susceptible to constant infections. Liang's growth reaches 13 cm in length and gives her unpleasant sensations. However, an elderly woman may simply not be able to endure a surgical operation to remove the “horn”.
20. Holes in the face
German-born Joel Miggler has 11 holes in his face. He made huge tunnels in the cheeks, and smaller tunnels in the upper lip, under the lower lip, in the nasal septum and in the nose.

19. Wasp waist
Many women dream of thin waist. However, Michelle Kobke took this dream to the extreme. Using a special corset (almost without removing it), Kobka managed to reduce her waist to a staggering 40.6 cm.

But Misha is still far from the size of the owner.
16. Bloody tears
One day, 17-year-old Melanie Harvey bled from her eyes and ears. Melanie and her mother, Katherine, consulted several doctors, but doctors could not find the cause of this frightening phenomenon.

15. The man who hardly ages

Shin is often not allowed into clubs because security believes he has a fake passport. Even the reporters couldn't believe that this "boy" was no longer required to go to school, but Shin was able to prove his age.
14. The man who changed his race
A change of gender in our world will no longer surprise anyone, but what about an unintentional change of race? An elderly inventor from Krasnodar, Semyon Gendler, was diagnosed with hepatitis C and cancer. In one of the American clinics, he received a liver transplant from an African American, and since then Gandler’s appearance has changed dramatically. Simply put, it darkened. But Semyon is happy and claims that he has a second wind. Perhaps because his transplanted liver is only 38 years old.

Doctors believe that Daniel was given incredible flexibility from birth, but he himself took it to the maximum possible limit.
Metal Eater
We have written about this man more than once.
Frenchman Michael Lotito, born in 1950, discovered his amazing abilities at the age of 9 - after scaring his parents to death, he ate a television. From the age of 16, he began entertaining people for money, eating metal, glass, and rubber. It is interesting that Lotito’s body never showed any side effects, even when what was eaten contained toxic substances.
Usually the object is disassembled into parts, cut into pieces, and Lotito swallows them with water. The omnivorous Michael, nicknamed “Monsieur Eat It All,” was included in the Guinness Book of Records for eating a Cessna 150 airplane. He ate it for two whole years - from 1978 to 1980 - consuming about a kilogram of it a day.
The latest x-ray showed that there were still pieces of metal in Lotito's body. And he didn’t die only because the walls of his stomach are twice as thick as those of the average person.

Velcro Man
Liew Thow Lin is a magnetic person. At 70 years old, Harikrishnan's compatriot Velu managed to pull the car with the help of an iron chain attached to an iron plate on his stomach.
Liv Tou Lin considers the ability to attract metal objects to be hereditary, since besides him, his 3 sons and 2 grandsons are endowed with the same amazing and incredible gift.
Scientists, meanwhile, are trying to no avail to explain this phenomenon: there is no magnetic field around the Malaysian, and his skin is fine.
Sleepless man
Thai Ngoc, a 64-year-old Vietnamese man, forgot what sleep was after he suffered from a fever in 1973. It was from then on that Tai stopped sleeping. And on this moment has not slept for 37 years, which is more than 13,500 sleepless nights.
“I don’t know how insomnia affects my health,” he says, “but I’m quite healthy and can run a household just as well as anyone else.” As proof, Ngoc mentions that he carries two 50-kilogram bags of fertilizer several kilometers from his home every day.
And during the medical examination, doctors did not find any diseases in the Vietnamese, except for minor abnormalities in the functioning of the liver.
King of Torture
Tim Cridland is a man who does not experience pain. Even at school, the “King of Torture” amazed his classmates when, without blinking an eye, he pierced his hands with needles and painlessly withstood any heat and cold.
And today Tim demonstrates terrifying things to numerous audiences across America. To do this, he had to study anatomy for a long time. After all, when the admiring eyes of spectators look at you, safety comes first.
Scientific research has shown that Tim has a much higher pain limit than the average person. Otherwise, he is no different from ordinary people. Including the degree of damage caused when piercing the body with stilettos, as well as the chance of death due to these injuries.
Cat Man
Kevin Richardson, relying on instinct, makes friends with a family of cats, but not domestic ones, but predatory ones. Without the slightest fear for his life, Kevin can spend the night with the lions.
Cheetahs and leopards, capable of tearing apart a person in a split second if desired, mistake the biologist for one of their own. Even the unpredictable hyenas are so accustomed to Kevin that the female hyena, for example, allows him to hold her newborn cubs.
“I rely on intuition when weighing my chances when dealing with animals. “I will never approach an animal if I feel that something is wrong,” says Richardson. – I don’t use sticks, whips or chains, just patience. It's dangerous, but for me it's a passion, not a job."
Pop-Eyed
Claudio Pinto from Belo Horizonte is better known as the googly-eyed man because he can widen his eyes by 4cm, or 95% of his eye sockets.

Zhang Ruifang
Chinese resident Zhang Ruifang has been observing an increasing growth of unknown origin on her own forehead for several years. And everything would be fine, only these harmless bumps very much resemble devil’s horns.

Gino Martino
Gino Martino is an American professional wrestler and entertainer who shocks audiences with his incredible ability breaking various hard objects with your head, including iron bars, baseball bats and concrete blocks.

Chang Wan Hei
Vietnamese resident Tran Van Hei had hair 6.8 meters long. But, unfortunately, he never declared this to the Guinness Book of Records. Hay lived in Kien Giang province (South Vietnam) and worked with medicinal herbs. He began growing his hair at the age of 25 for a very simple but surprising reason - every time after cutting his hair he became very ill. He did not turn to doctors, but simply stopped cutting his hair and began to weave a braid, which over the years began to resemble a thick rope. Sadhu Amar Bharati
The Sadhu's hand is a bony, dried-out thing, because he has not used it for more than 40 years. He raised it above his head as a sign of worship before the god Shiva. Sadhu lived ordinary life until 1970. He worked, he had a wife and family, three children. Of average income, the Sadhu was an ordinary Indian. But one fine morning the Sadhu realized that he no longer belonged either to his family or to himself - he belonged to God. 
And he set off along the roads of India, and after several years of wandering, he made a vow and raised his right hand up so as not to lower it for the next forty years. The year was 1973. They say he raised it as a sign of humility and renunciation of his sins, but there are also those who claim that he raised his hand in protest against wars on earth. So, with his right hand raised up, Sadhu Amar Bharati has been living for many years. Over these decades, his hand, which he did not use at all, dried up and took the form of a lifeless stick, consisting of bones and dried skin. Mehmet Ozyurek
The nose of Mehmet Ozyurek from Turkey was solemnly measured on the set of the Italian program “Lo Show dei Record” and turned out to measure 8.8 cm (from forehead to tip), which was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records in 2010. Doctors say that Mehmet owes his long nose to rhinophyma, a rare skin disease that is accompanied by the growth of elements of the skin of the nose. It is possible that someday he himself will break his own record, since his nose continues to grow little by little. Masutatsu Oyama
The legendary karate master, founder of the Kyokushinkai style, tenth dan holder Masutatsu Oyama was one of the most famous representatives of martial arts. Oyama struck according to the principle of Japanese fighters “one blow - one death.” Even if the opponent managed to block the blow, this block was not enough; the master’s blow swept away everything in its path. Oyama broke 17 layers of tiles and 3-4 bricks at a time with one blow with the edge of his palm. And he fought with bulls fifty times, killed three bulls with his bare hands and broke the horns of 49 bulls, also with a blow from the edge of his palm. He wanted to fight more tigers and lions, but he was not allowed to treat animals so cruelly. Oyama himself later admitted that one should not kill animals to demonstrate one’s strength. Michelle Lotito
It was not without reason that the Frenchman Michel Lotito was called “Monsieur Mangetout” in his homeland, which in Russian sounds like “Monsieur will eat everything.” Between 1959 and 1997, it literally consumed about nine tons of metal objects, including an airplane, seven televisions, 18 bicycles, 15 shopping carts, a coffin and part of the Eiffel Tower. What is the reason for Lotito’s manifestation of such a shocking ability? This rare phenomenon in science and medicine is known as “pica” - an eating disorder that is expressed in cravings for inedible substances. This, along with the unusually thick mucous membrane of the stomach, allowed Lotito to consume great amount metal, which, by the way, he cut into small pieces, watered vegetable oil and swallowed it with water. Michel Lotito died, oddly enough, of natural causes. Jill Price
Jill Price remembers every event in her life in chronological order since she was 12 years old. She remembers literally every little detail, including the program running at that moment on TV or events that happened in the world. Just name the date and it will tell you what day of the week it was and list everything that happened that day. Many people envy her gift, but super memory is not a gift for everyone. Just imagine that you are experiencing the events of your life over and over again, as if they had just happened. In addition, in every person’s life there are things that are better not to remember. Experts have not yet found a cure for Jill’s memory. Alex Lenkey
Englishman Alex Lenkey, who has been practicing self-hypnosis since the age of 16, refused traditional pain relief and hypnotized himself during surgery for osteoarthritis. During the operation, which lasted 83 minutes, the hypnotist opened the wrist, removed a piece of bone the size of a nut, and also manipulated the patient's tendon. According to him, at this time he heard everything that the surgeon said, as well as the sound that accompanied the cutting of the bone, but did not feel any pain. Alex Lenkay had previously had a hernia removed under hypnosis, and once hypnotized his son, also Alex, to reduce the pain in his broken arm. Yoshiro Nakamatsu
Japanese Thomas Alva Edison, mad scientist, one of the five greatest inventors in history - this is what society calls this Japanese man, who publicly claims that he not only invented the famous floppy disk 20 years before the American company IBM, but also became the record holder for the number of inventions, bringing their number to 3.3 thousand. This eccentric Japanese takes a philosophical approach to the process of invention itself: he compares the creation of each new creation to a five-story pagoda. The first of them is mental strength, because it is this that helps a person follow the difficult path of an inventor. The second step is healthy body. Then - study. At the same time, according to Dr. NakaMats, a real inventor must be equally versed in both technical and human sciences. After that comes the ability to experiment and, of course, talent. Jonathan Lee Riches
Jonathan Lee Riches is an inmate at the Kentucky Federal Penitentiary on charges of wire fraud and holds the record for the most lawsuits filed in U.S. district courts by a single person on various grounds. In early 2006, Jonathan filed his first lawsuit, and over the next seven years he filed more than two and a half thousand lawsuits. For such an active civic position, the guy was included in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the most controversial personalities in history, and Jonathan, being true to himself, responded by suing the Book.
