Lucknow school sets world record for highest<br />

student enrolment in year<br />

ANI London, Thu, 13 Sep 2012<br />

London, September 13 (ANI): The <strong>City</strong> <strong>Montessori</strong> <strong>School</strong> in Lucknow, India,<br />

has been included in the latest edition of Guinness Book of World Records for<br />

the highest number of students being enrolled in a year.<br />

It made a record enrolment of 39,437 pupils for the 2010-2011 academic<br />

year, the Daily Mail reported.<br />

Among others to find a place in the 2013 edition is Popeye lookalike<br />

Moustafa Ismail and his monstrous biceps, and a man with the tallest<br />

mohican hairstyle, measuring a towering 3ft 8in.<br />

Johanna Quaas, an 86-year-old retired PE teacher from Leipzig, Germany,<br />

was named the oldest gymnast while Egyptian-born Moustafa Ismail got<br />

recognition for having the largest 'guns' - biceps and triceps - with a<br />

circumference of 25.5in.<br />

The 24-year-old bodybuilder, now living in Franklin, Massachusetts, has arms<br />

with a greater circumference than the average human head.<br />

London-based sumo wrestler Sharran Alexander, who weighs 203.21 kg (32<br />

stone), was also named as the world's heaviest sportswoman.<br />

Among the new edition's animal-based records are new bests for the shortest<br />

bull and the tallest dog, a Great Dane measuring 44in from foot to withers.<br />

Archie, a 29-month-old Dexter breed bull owned by a County Armagh-based<br />

farm, measures just 76.2 cm (30in) from hoof to withers.<br />

Other records in the 57th edition of the book include the lowest roadworthy<br />

car - a vehicle created by students and teachers in Asakuchi, Japan, which<br />

measures 45.2cm (17.79in) from the ground to its highest part.<br />

Being published in 22 languages in more than 100 countries, the 2013<br />

Guinness World Records is expected to sell around 2.7 million copies and<br />

documents numerous new extremes relating to the human body. (ANI)<br />
