I thought it would be kind of fun for me to post one random thing out of my Guiness Book of World Records 2007 each day. I like to read through there when I'm on the potty sometimes and I always think of how I want to share some of them with all of you! :lmao So, I'm going to try to post one every day if I can remember, or at least every couple of days.
The first one is:
The World's Longest Necks
The maximum known extension of a human neck is 15.75 inches and was created by the successive fitting of copper coils practiced by the women of the Padaung or Kareni tribe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayan_%28Myanmar%29) of Myanmar as a sign of beauty.
Their necks eventually become so long and weak that they cannot support their heads without the coils. In some tribes the coils are removed to punish women who have committed adultery.
