The stars of Guinness World Records 2021 are out

The stars of Guinness World Records 2021 are out and they're celebrating a challenging year, marred by a pandemic, which didn't stop people from going an extra mile.

Just like every year, the book has listed some weird, whimsical and wonderful achievements that deserved a record-title.

From the world's shortest bus driver, to tricks performed by rats, here's a round-up of a few of our favourite ones.
To mention a few, meet Luke Roberts from England. He calls his pet rats as 'the boys', who broke the record most alternating paw tricks by a rat in 30 seconds and most jumps through a hoop by a rat in 30 seconds.
At 4 ft 5.6 inches, Frank Faeek Hachem from the UK holds the title for being the shortest bus driver! What's more, he drives an unmodified bus where he just needs to adjust the seat and steering wheel.
As if that wasn't enough to make you wonder in amazement, 11-year-old Nigerian Eche Chinoso has bagged the title for the most number of keepie ups, that is 111, while balancing a football on his head.
These are just a few of the record-breakers, who skillfully managed their way to shatter previously-held titles.
Guinness World Records 2021 hits shelves on the 17th of September.
