A woman with 10-foot fingernails and a student with a four-inch tongue are among entries in the 2012 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Doncaster man Rob Hull, 49, is also in the book for having 571 Daleks - despite not being a Doctor Who fan.Aevin Dugas from New Orleans in the US also gets an entry for having grown the world's largest natural afro.
Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Lenday said the book celebrates "the weirdest and wackiest".
Dalek collector Mr Hull bought his first replica at the age of 29, and while he may not love the BBC sci-fi series, he says he became "enchanted" with them after seeing one in a toy shop.

"I hate all the cleaning, but I do it. And the makeup, I only wear so much," said Walton, who has also been working on a singing career while raising a family.
The nails on Ms Walton's left hand measure more than 10ft (3m) in length Rev Darrell Best, of Illinois in the US is a newcomer to the book, having taken the title for the fastest wedding chapel after converting his 1940s fire truck into a wedding chapel on wheels.
