Eye-Popping Record-Setter
And now for the creepiest thing you'll see all day.
A Brazilian man with a unique ability has landed in the Guinness World Records book for the "farthest eyeball pop." To put it simply, Sidney de Carvalho Mesquita, also known as Tio Chico, is able to pop his eyeballs out of his sockets -- .71 inches out of their sockets, to be exact. He says he first realized his special talent when he was a kid and it scared his parents enough to take him to the doctor. But he was assured that he was perfectly healthy.
Scott's Thoughts:
- Oh man, that is so hard to look at.
- How does someone even find out that they have this ability?
- I'd be afraid that they wouldn't go back in.
- I didn't gather from the video that it was dangerous. Or that it hurts. Wonder what a doctor would have to say about it.
