7 Bizarre New Guinness Records

Ekaterina Lisina's legs are as long as some people are tall. They've also propelled the model to newfound fame. 

Lisina has nabbed not one but two new Guinness World Records as the world's tallest professional model (at 6 feet, 8.77 inches) and woman with the longest legs. They measure 52 inches long, though her left leg is technically 0.2 inches longer than her right. "I'm so excited, I've been trying to claim the records for months. I had to get measured so many times," she tells the Sun. 

Other wild new records that make it into the 2018 edition of the book:

• Longest eyelash: You Jianxia of China, whose eyelashes cascade down her cheeks, has one on her left eyelid that measures 4.88 inches long. She believes the growth is a result of her living at one with nature.
• Most layers in ball of paint: Michael Carmichael of Alexandria, Ind., has spent the last 40 years applying two coats of paint per day to a baseball, reports the Telegraph. With 17,994 coats applied, the sphere is now bigger than he is.
