1999 and he still holds the record to this very day gary turner knew about his stretchy skin from an early age at the age of 13 doctors figured out that his stretchy skin was due to a very rare and extreme case of ehlers-danlos syndrome this is a genetic disorder of connecting tissues that affects the ligaments skin and internal organs in this condition the collagen which strengthens and

include pulling on his tummy skin pulling his chest skin over his face and many more feet showing off his elasticity number 7 the perfect hourglass figure kathy jung holds the world record for having

fattest kid in the world back in 2011 chinese kid iluji hao became an internet sensation and was touted as the fattest kid in the world at only four years of age he weighed a hefty 132 pounds to put that into perspective 132 pounds is the equivalent of five average four-year-olds weirdly his birth weight was skimpy a mere 5.7 pounds at around 3 months he inexplicably began to expand and nobody knew why luhu hated walking to school and was often given a ride on his mother's motorbike he also cried if he was not given all the food that he wanted his parents did make a heartfelt effort to get him to go swimming playing basketball and so on but the exercise made him hungry and he demanded more food than ever of course being so fat is going to have quite a few negative side effects to it so his parents tried everything to control his weight they even took him to three different hospitals trying to find a cause for his obesity guandong children's hospital suggested that hormone treatment might be an option however there is no mention of anyone thinking bariatric surgery and for good reason the risks would be horrific tenzi became world news in 2011 nothing has come up on him since then which is sad really because i sincerely hope he managed to lose some weight and have a better quality of life can't be fun to be hungry all the time number five turtle boy de dior montovall had a

circumference both in the painful itchiness of his skin and how it also affected his confidence he and his family were shunned by villagers in his home in rural columbia in south america and his mother laws was even told it was her fault for looking at a solar eclipse while pregnant the family was too poor to shell out for surgery but his life changed when his touching story was featured in a local newspaper and a foot of donations poured in while they could now afford the operation the life-changing surgery was still by no means straightforward in fact it would be painful dangerous and complicated fortunately the surgery was successful and the former turtle boy is now living a normal life number 4 tree man didi caswara is just a fisherman from indonesia but he is known all over the world at some point during his youth he scraped his knee and so began his lifelong struggles as the world's most famous tree man after his accident his body became covered with abnormal growths that were especially prominent on his hands and feet because of the root-like growths on his extremities and the bark-like patches on the rest of his skin his condition caused him to become known as tree man his body is incapable of stopping the development of the growths so they become larger with time deedee suffers from a rare disease known as epidermoplasia vericiformis also known as lewandowski lutz dysplasia this disease is a hereditary autosomal recessive skin disorder as a result of the disease dd has a heightened susceptibility to human papillomaviruses also known as hpv these conditions are very easy for the common person to contract it has been said that up to 80 of people may be infected with a virus without showing symptoms for over 20 years a dd's case has confused and intrigued doctors and scientists but no one has been able to completely cure it just yet although he did undergo multiple surgeries to remove the warts they always grew back again number three papa smurf paul karassen is a person that is very easy to pick out in the crowd because of his unique look his skin is blue in 2008 paul karassen appeared on national television to reveal his unordinary skin to the world prior to his tv debut paul had been living as a recluse limiting his time in public as much as possible paul grew up with red hair and fair skin during his middle age years he came down with a serious case of dermatitis and flaky skin on his face then one day he saw an ad for an old wives remedy and decided to give it a try the ad was for a concoction called a collodial silver a once popular cold and flu remedy used in the early 20th century up until the 1950s the solution made up of tiny silver particles promised to be a cure-all paul started drinking 10 ounces of his own home-brewed serum every day and he did so for over a decade the good news is his dermatitis cleared up thing is his skin is now permanently blue and his resemblance to pampa smurf is now extremely uncanny now it's time for today's best pick [Music] today's pick is a photo of a man with an impossibly long neck which was submitted over by a subscriber does such a man even exist well yes and no the thing is i can't find anything related to this photo at all but there are people women to be more specific who have extremely long necks and to them the longer their neck the more beautiful they are find out who they are next with number two the long-necked women of myanmar from childhood women of the pandora tribe of mayanar were traditionally fitted with coils of copper to stretch their neck a symbol of wealth position and beauty the coils can stretch their necks over a foot and weigh over 20 pounds according to the guinness book of world records the world record for longest neck is 15 and 3 4 inches and it belonged to a padang woman in fact a padong means long neck in the local language the ironic thing is these women actually don't have long necks no amount of stretching would add more vertebrae to your spine their long necks are actually an optical illusion as the copper coil gets longer it pushes the collarbone and ribs down creating the appearance of a longer neck having rings around your neck all your life does have some drawbacks though for one they can't tilt their head back so they drink using straws and although they can remove the brass coils without their necks collapsing the neck muscles have to weaken over time before we move on do me a favor my analytics show that only about 15 of you watching are actually subscribed come on guys what's up with that can
