World Records

Everything is bigger in Texas. Everything is also heavier.

Here's one tourist attraction that won't leave you breathless!

We've been mourning the sad loss of 'Calvin and Hobbes' ever since cartoonist Bill Watterson stopped producing the beloved comic strip in 1995. But apparently the strip hasn't gone completely forgotten, since a piece of original 'Calvin and Hobbes' artwork recently broke a record at auction by selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A farmer in India recently became the world's oldest dad at 96-years-old. But what's even more impressive is that he broke a record set by himself two years prior. How the heck does this guy keep going?

No one gets high better than Felix Baumgartner. Austrian BASE-jumper Baumgartner, 43, broke a 52-year-old skydiving altitude record and the sound barrier by jumping out of a space capsule 128,100 feet above the Earth in Roswell, N.M. on Sunday.

Okay. We get it, Red Bull -- you're EXTREME. They've certainly proved that point with their historic mission, which should be taking place today if weather holds.

Ron Wallace was able to grow a pumpkin to 2,009 pounds. And now the Greene, RI man is $15,500 richer for it.

"The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy." That's the description of this video on YouTube. And they might be right -- Psy's 'Gangnam Style' has just set the Guinness world record for the most liked video on YouTube -- 2...

Japan has some crazy shows, but their Guinness World Records TV series is somehow the craziest. You think we’re kidding, but in one episode a man named Tomoharu Shoji sets a world record by crushing 43 nuts in one minute… Oh, yeah, and he did it just by using his butt.

Two tongues enter, and only one tongue leaves with the world record for the longest tongue.
