From chefs making insane amounts of food to crowds of people wearing the same outfit, some of these records are almost too bizarre to be real.

Surprisingly, this wasn’t a gathering for March of the Penguin fans.
The largest gathering of people dressed as penguins consisted of 624 people.
It was achieved by the Richard House Children’s Hospice in the U.K.
This gathering actually helps sponsor the Richard House Children’s Hospice cause, which supports children and young adults with terminal health conditions.

In Bangkok, Thailand, 4,183 members of the Department of Health and the Ministry of Public Health came together to hula-hoop for a world record.
All of the participants’ hula-hoops remained in motion for two consecutive minutes. Pretty impressive.

You probably wish you were one of the people that helped break this record; 418 people ate breakfast in bed at the Sheraton Langfang Chaobai River Hotel in China on August 16, 2015.
Many children also ate breakfast in bed with their parents, but they were not counted in the total number.

The longest “usable” golf club in the world measured a whopping 30 feet 6 inches.
You won’t be hitting any shots like Tiger Woods with this club.
It was created by Michael Furrh of Texas in 2017.
This was his fourth time breaking the record, creating a club that was two feet longer than the last time he broke it.
15. Highest mohawk

The world record for the highest mohawk goes to Kazuhiro Watanabe.
Huffington Post reported that his hairdo measured over 3 feet high.
It took him 15 years to grow out his hair and creating the Mohawk took three cans of hairspray and one very large bottle of gel.
