world records

An 81-year-old grandfather with roots deep in Central New York has set 13 new world records for weight lifting.

When it comes to world records, the city of Utica New York apparently has two claims to fame.

IT seems like there is a world record for just about anything. And some of them were set right here in the Empire State.

You gotta see the great pics of this guy's snappers, chars, and salmon.

If there was a doggy olympics Purin would win nothing but Gold. She is a beagle living in Japan and holds two Guinness World Records. One is for fastest 10m travelled on a ball by a dog and her latest is the most balls caught with paws in one minute!

The results are in! According to Guinness World Records, Corduroy the Cat is the oldest feline in the world! He is 26 years old and he lives with his owner in Oregon. The average lifespan for a domesticated cat is 15 years. Corduroy is still going strong! The 'nine lives' rule for cats must really apply to him.

You know, cars with four wheels are just so passe.

Like father, like daughter. Byron Schlenker of Syracuse holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the widest tongue at 8.57 centimeters. Now his 14 year-old daughter Emily holds the record for widest female tongue at 7.33 centimeters.

Leaf through the 2015 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records and you'll find a photo of Syracuse resident Byron Schlenker and his 8.3 centimeter tongue, the widest in the world.

This ain't your grandfather's lawnmower.

This woman has quite the backstory.

Almost a year ago to the day, Felix Baumgartner made history by jumping out of a spacecraft from 24 miles up (127,000ft+) in space and Red Bull Stratos has released A POV (point of view) video so we can see what Felix saw and be with him on the jump.
