Record breaking isn’t an activity reserved for Olympians. There are a baffling number of strange, silly and amazing ways to make it into the books, and Guinness World Records is trying to

collect them all. The franchise recently celebrated its 60th anniversary and released the newest edition of its popular records book. Joining the oldest living person and fastest dog on two

paws is a batch of first-time record breakers. While some of the new spots are filled by celebrities, plenty of the additions are everyday people (or animals) with an unusual talent. From a

high-flying cat to and an extremely tall teen, meet some of the newest stars from Guinness World Records. LONGEST TONGUE RECORD HOLDER: Nick Stoeberl of Salinas, California THE NUMBERS:
