Shortest Stuntman

Kiran Shah (born September 28, 1956) is an actor and a stuntman.

Shah was born in Nairobi, Kenya. He lived in Kenya until he was twelve years old, when he moved to India with his family. While living in India, he became interested in films, and when his family moved to London, he became involved in the show business. His first film was the 1977 movie Candleshoe, as a stand-in for a girl called Sara Tamakuni, and when stunt coordinator Bob Anderson asked him to do her stunts as well, his career was started.

Kiran is often confused with Deep Roy; they are both dwarf Kenyan actors of Indian descent who got their starts in film and television in the late 70s.

Most piercings in a lifetime (female)


Elaine Davidson is the world record holder for body piercing in the Guinness Book of Records and as of February 2011 her piercings total 6,925.

The former nurse from Brazil first broke the record in May 2000, when a Guinness World Records official examined her and found 462 piercings on various parts of her body, including 192 on her facial area alone. "People often just want to look at me or touch me - some even want to kiss me" Elaine says.

Elaine never removes the rings and studs, which she estimates weigh a total of three kilos. She insists there is no pain involved in piercing and sleeps soundly with all of her piercing ornaments in place. However, while she is traveling the world, she keeps all her piercing ornaments in place but must remember to take her watch off when going through airport security scanners!

A lady of many talents, Elaine also sleeps on a bed of nails, walks on fire and lays on broken glass, and holds a black belt in Judo which she earned in Japan. Elaine also enjoys extreme sports such as "Sky Diving", "Horse Riding", "The Trampoline", loves the Theater because of the costumes and she loves dressing up.Butterfly Tattoo.

Elaine does not drink, take drugs or smoke cigarettes and she wants people to know this. In some ways this is because she sees her position in the Guinness Book of Records as a responsibility as much as a dedication. However, Elaine does have a soft spot for coca cola.

Happy Valentine's Day !

Largest playing card structure


Berg first broke the world record for World's Tallest House of Freestanding Playing Cards in 1992 at the age of 17, with a tower 14 feet, 6 inches tall (4.67 meters). Since then, Berg has been commissioned to break his own Guinness Record approximately ten times.
He built another tower in the College of Design's atrium at Iowa State University in 1998. It stood at approximately 25 feet (7.62 meters) tall and used over 1500 decks of standard cards weighing over 250 pounds (113.4 kilograms). It took two and a half weeks to build working in shifts from 4 to 12 hours each day. During construction, the tower was surrounded by scaffolding. On November 6, 1999, Berg built a taller tower for the German edition of Guinness Prime Time in the lobby of the casino at Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. That tower was approximately 25.29 feet (7.7 meters) tall and required over 1700 decks to stack up to 131 stories.
Berg's most recent tallest record was a 25 foot 9 7/16 inch tall tower built at the African-American Museum at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas. For this record, he tried a new technique involving stacking cards vertically instead of horizontally, which reduced the number of cards needed by nearly half.
On September 18, 2009, on Live with Regis & Kelly, Berg attempted to break the Guinness World Record for tallest free-standing card structure in 60 minutes. As Berg stopped building the structure when time ran out, the cards fell down, costing him his bid for a new world record.
World's Largest House of Cards
In 2004, Guinness created a record category for World's Largest House of Freestanding Playing Cards to recognize a project Berg built for Walt Disney World, a replica of Cinderella's Castle. In 2010, the record was renewed by himself using 4051 sets of cards, over 218,000 cards, and built in 44 days, a replica of the Venetian Macao

the world biggest dog


Giant George is a blue Great Dane currently recognised as the world's tallest living dog, and the tallest dog ever by Guinness World Records. There were originally conflicting media reports regarding his height, but the official measurement showed that he was three quarters of an inch taller than the previous record holder, Titan (at 43 inches at the withers). His records were announced as he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in February 2010.
George was born on 17 November 2005, and has been owned by David Nasser since he was 7 weeks old He measures 43 inches (110 cm) high at the withers, and weighs 245 pounds (111 kg),which is about 100 pounds (45 kg) more than an average Great Dane. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.

At home he sleeps in a queen-sized bed, and one of his hobbies is to ride around his family's neighbourhood in a golf cart. While travelling to a recent media appearance in Chicago, he was given a row of three seats to himself. He caused a commotion with fellow passengers visiting him to take photographs, "There were so many people coming to the front of the plane, the pilot ended up illuminating the 'fasten seat-belt' sign to get everyone to sit down" explained his owner, David. During the flight, George along with his owner David and wife Christine, had to sit in the bulkhead; which is the partition that divides first class from the rest of the passengers. They were to fly first class on American Airlines, but they found that there wasn't enough room for George and instead flew the following day.

Conflicting reports were made of George's height, so a Guinness judge was sent to verify it.Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records explained, "This is a hotly contested record and after some controversy and conflicting media reports we decided to send our own official adjudicator to put the final stamp on this record holder." The measurement by veterinarian Jim Boulay and witnessed by Guinness representative Jamie Panas showed that George was three quarters of an inch larger than the previous record hold, another Great Dane, Titan.

The records were announced by Oprah Winfrey on 22 February 2010 when George appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. George had been awarded the titles secretly on 15 February 2010 with Oprah's producers asking all parties and media to keep the announcement quiet until after his appearance on the show. Inquiries had been made by the show for George to appear prior to him gaining the titles, however his owner requested that they hold off their appearance until Guinness had reviewed his application.

The announcement of the new record was used by Guinness World Records to publicise a variety of other pet related record searches including longest ears on a dog, smallest dog (length), oldest dog, smallest cat and oldest cat.
