How many piercings do you think the most pierced woman in the world has? Fifty, a hundred, two hundred ? When she was examined by the Guinness book of records, Elaine Davidson had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone. But that was in May 2000, and things have changed greatly since then.

In august 2001, when she was re-examined, she had 720 piercings. Things went incredibly crazy after that; in 2005, the Guardian reported that she has 3950 piercings (!) in her body, with 500 piercings in her genitalia alone (inside and outside). Five hundred piercings in her genitalia; five hundred.

In 2010, she herself reported having 6725 piercings, weighing over 3 kilograms. I call no comment on this one.

Andrei's background is in geophysics, and he's been fascinated by it ever since he was a child. Feeling that there is a gap between scientists and the general audience, he started ZME Science -- and the results are what you see today.
