After months of research and traveling the globe to compile the book, Guinness World Records, the global authority on record-breaking achievements, can today announce the release of the new Guinness World Records 2016 Edition, revealing a selection of its most amazing new records.

 

 

1. Largest Feet on a Living Person – Male
The Largest feet on a living person are 40.1cm (1 ft 3.79 in -right foot) and 39.6cm (1 ft 3.59 in - left foot) and belong to 20-year-old Jeison Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez, pictured above, of Venezuela. That equates to a size 26!

With bigger feet than even Sultan Kosen, the worlds’ tallest living man (a mere size 24), Hernandez has to specially order his shoes from Germany to find a fit.

 

2. Largest Hot Dog Cart
The Largest hot dog cart measures 2.81 m (9 ft 3 in) in width, 7.06 m (23 ft 2 in) in length, 3.72 m (12 ft 2.75 in) in height from the ground to the handle, and the wheels' diameter is 1.86 m (6 ft 1.5 in). Over 1.5 times larger than a telephone box!

Achieved by Marcus “Hot Dog Man” Daily (USA) of Union, Missouri, the 44-year-old chef found it difficultto work his regular cart in inclement weather and opted to build the super-sized cart after his son suggested he attempt the record.

 

3. Most Teeth in the Mouth
The Most teeth in the mouth are 37, achieved by Vijay Kumar V.A, 27, as verified in Bangalore, India. This is five more than is usually found in the average human mouth and Vijay is thrilled to be chomping his way into the Guinness World Records 2016 book.  

 

4. Largest Cowboy Boot Sculpture
The Tallest cowboy boot sculpture measures 10.4m (35 ft 3 in) in height and was constructed by Bob Wade, 72, (USA) of San Antonio, Texas. The Texan has enjoyed a 40-year career as an alternative artist and originally created the boots by commission in Washington DC.

The build process took Wade three months and they now stand proud next to the highway en route into San Antonio.

With a combined height of 13 ft 10.72 in (423.47 cm), Sun Mingming, 33, and his wife, Xu Yan, 29, of China, claim the title for Tallest married couple, measuring 7 ft 8.98 in (236.17 cm) and 6 ft 1.74 in (187.3 com) respectively.
