Sooty has set a new world record for the most valentine cards sent to a guinea pig.

　　The three-year-old guinea pig from Wales received 206 cards from as far away as New Zealand to gain a bizarre entry in the latest edition of Guinness World Records published on Friday.

　　Sooty was joined in the ranks of the world's weirdest and wackiest achievers by Briton Paul Hunn who scooped the record for the world's largest burp. Louder than a pile driver, his burps can be heard from a distance of 30 metres.

　　Not to be outdone, Canadian Christa Rasanayagam set a new record when accompanied up the aisle by no less than 79 bridesmaids aged from one to 79.

　　American Ashrita Furman found yet more Guinness immortality by pushing an orange one mile with his nose in 24 minutes and 36 seconds.

　　Furman is no stranger to Guinness, laying claim to a total of 94 official records with such bizarre feats as climbing Mount Fuji on a pogo stick, underwater rope jumping and lighting 27,000 candles on a birthday cake in New York.

新版吉尼斯世界纪录大全收录众多怪举动

　　9月23日出版的最新版《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》收录了一些看上去颇为怪异的世界之最。

　　据路透社9月23日报道，在最新版《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》中，你可以知道世界上收到情人卡最多的豚鼠的名字--黑子。现年3岁、来自威尔士的这只豚鼠接到了多达206张此类贺卡，它们均寄自遥远的新西兰。

　　与黑子一起跻身世界上最为怪异的创纪录者行列的还有一个名叫布赖顿-保罗-哈恩的人，他成为了世界上打嗝声音最为嘹亮的人。此人嗝声在30米开外都能听得一清二楚，就连打桩机也自愧不如。

　　同样，加拿大人克丽斯塔·拉萨娜娅加姆在怪异程度上丝毫也不逊色于前两位，此人在结婚时找来了79位女傧相且她们的年龄从1岁到79岁不等。

　　而美国人阿什里塔-福尔曼是《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》的常客，他号称拥有94项正式纪录，其中不乏一些令人匪夷所思的举动，比如用弹簧单高跷登上富士山，在水下跳绳以及在纽约的一块生日蛋糕上点燃2.7万支蜡烛等。此次他耗时24分36秒成功的用鼻子将一个橙子向前推进了1英里(1.6公里)，从而为自己再添荣誉。(
