Breath Hold Challenge - Mandy-Rae Cruikshank and Jessica Wilson will face off in this Ripley's Challenge to see who can hold her breath underwater the longest. They're both expert ""free divers"" that don't use scuba gear or air tanks. The current record is 13 minutes and 42.5 seconds set by Robert Frost in 1959. World's Tallest Kid - Vika Sopol is seventeen years old and eight-feet tall. Knife-Throwing Mama - Nouella Gallagher tosses kitchen knives at a wooden board with her children standing in front of it. Caffeinated Soap - Shower shock soap provides one cup of coffee per shower. Head Binding - On the Tomman Island in the South Pacific, a person with a finely-elongated head is thought to be smarter, of higher status, and close to the world of the spirits. To achieve this ""conehead"" effect, heads are bound with a soft bandage and woven basket for approximately six months. Acupuncture Darts - Instead of gently applying acupuncture pins, Masahiko fires them with a blow dart gun. USC Stu
