Just when you thought you heard of all the world records, one man sets a new world record for cracking his body! You heard right...cracking different parts of his body to set a new Guinness World Record. The Mike & Carla Morning Show brought this up this morning thinking they had heard of all the weird records, but NOPE!

It's a guy out of Sweden and he set the new record by cracking 4 joints in his body. To be honest, did not even think there were 46 to crack, but evidently there are. If you think about it, your fingers and toes account for twenty right? Your neck, elbow, knees and even those joints you forget about.

The other question that came up, how do you even ramp up to setting the record? Surely after practicing, you have to wait to let all the joints re-connect right? Think about all the time you have to wait after cracking your knuckles the first time. We're guessing that the same is true for the other joints as well.

Once again, as Mike O'Brian looks for a record for Carla Rea to break, this will NOT be one of them. It clearly takes dedication, a high "cracking" tolerance of which Carla might not have. With that said, there's nothing wrong with that. Seriously, how many times can you crack your joints before setting the record?

Might have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Whistling, humming, even bouncing a ball seems more in line with Carla's talents. As odd as it is, there are so many other strange records out there yet to be broken. So, the search will continue...but do listen to the segment. Or better yet, maybe you have one in mind that you've heard about. But as far as the "joint crackin" guy, You have to hear it to believe it...and thanks for listening to The M&C Morning Show!
