The most interesting and unusual achievements are collected in one book - the Guinness Book of Records. But even she is not able to accommodate the most incredible facts in the world that you can hear about.
Bird Girl
Scientists cannot answer the question of why people with completely unusual anomalies are periodically born in the world. Few of these people become famous precisely because of their unforgettable appearance. But the girl, who was born in 1880 in Georgia, became not only famous throughout the world, but even starred in films.
Minnie Woolsey (that was the girl's name) was born with Seckel syndrome. This rare condition causes dwarfism, developmental delays and a small head with a nose like a bird's beak. As a result of her illness, Minnie was also left bald, and it seemed that nothing good lay ahead for the girl. But thanks to one showman who had a so-called “circus of freaks,” Minnie was saved and even became famous.
But the turning point in the life of the bird girl was the filming of the film “Freaks” in 1932. Dressed in a bird costume, Minnie became the highlight of the film and was forever given the nickname "Koo Koo". According to some reports, Minnie participated in an exhibition of abnormal people until she was 72 years old.
The oldest impound lot in the world
Among car enthusiasts there are hardly people for whom impound parking evokes positive emotions. But many would want to see such a parking lot. She is located in Naples. The King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand of Bourbon, wanted to build a tunnel at a depth of 45 meters. This happened in 1853. The monarch was worried about his safety, since revolutionary sentiments were strong in Naples at that time. But he died a natural death, and the tunnel was abandoned unfinished.
There are many pre-war cars and motorcycles buried right under the central part of Naples. After World War II, the tunnel was sealed for almost 60 years.
Betty Butler – age is no barrier to extreme sports
Every person has a secret dream that he carries throughout his life. But many still lack the courage to bring it to life. The same cannot be said about the 95-year-old resident of the US state of Indiana. It turns out that the woman had dreamed of jumping with a parachute all her life, but somehow it didn’t work out. Caring children and grandchildren decided to give Betty a gift for her 95th birthday. And the brave pensioner did not refuse and still fulfilled her wish, despite such an advanced age.
Indonesian traditions
On the island of Sulawesi, there has been one very unusual tradition since 1905. It turns out that in order to show respect to deceased relatives, Indonesians dig them out of their graves every year. There are even original competitions among local residents: whose relative is better dressed is the winner. But it doesn’t end there either – a mandatory end to the ceremony of respect is a family photo as a souvenir.
Mikaela - Instagram star
This girl has an unusual appearance, which exactly repeats the facial features of the character in the famous computer game.

Giant from West Java - Arya Permana
The fattest boy on the planet lives in Indonesia. His weight is more than 190 kilograms, and he is only 10 years old. He suffers from severe obesity and his daily diet would be enough to feed 10 adults. Because of his size, he is unable to choose clothes for himself, so he covers his hips with a large piece of sarong. He is unable to attend school, and simply moving around is very difficult for him. The boy simply lies in the pool all day long. What caused this anomaly is unknown, because until the age of 2 he developed like an ordinary normal child.
Rama Haruna - a girl with a baby's body
In the Nigerian city of Cana there lives a girl suffering from a rare disease. Her body stopped growing at 6 months and her limbs are non-functional. Moreover, Rama’s head is of completely normal size for her age. According to her mother, at six months the girl began to writhe from severe attacks of abdominal pain, which was accompanied by a high fever. There are other children in the family, and all are quite healthy.
Nigerian doctors are at a loss as to what could have caused such a strange anomaly. Some locals even claim that the girl’s illness is a consequence of the genie’s curse. But this has nothing to do with reality. The only thing this Nigerian woman is very lucky in is her family. Despite the fact that caring for the seriously ill Rama costs the family a pretty penny, her parents did not give up on the girl and are trying their best to earn money to support her.
Shi Bao - a dog on two legs

Surprisingly, despite such a severe injury, the animal survived and learned to walk on its two front legs. And just recently, Shi Bao became a mother. The railway station workers who adopted the dog claim that she is a wonderful mother who never leaves her babies for long.
Emma Lyman – diagnosis is not a death sentence
This 21-year-old girl has a whole bunch of serious illnesses. This includes mild autism, Down syndrome, and deafness. But this did not stop her from becoming a full-fledged member of society. And the fact that she cannot write or read did not prevent her from becoming a successful businesswoman. It all started with the fact that her mother sent out the girl’s resume to the company, trying to find at least some kind of work for her.
She was taken to the office of a credit institution to destroy secret documents. It turned out that Emma perfectly tears paper into small pieces, and does it with amazing speed. And today she has her own company and regular clients who happily use her services.
