Ready for this one? Kim Goodman from the United States can [pop her eyeballs](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2021/5/exclusive-a-peek-into-the-guinness-world-records-photography-archives-661301) to a protrusion of 12 millimeters or 0.47 inches beyond her eye sockets. Yeah, you heard that right. An optometrist had to measure the “pop” using a device known as a proptometer. “Proptosis” is the scientific term for eyeball displacement or bulging eyes. Kim first found out about her talent after she was hit in the head by a hockey mask but can now pop out her eyes on cue. Now that's a party trick!

The name has been translated in Maori to 'The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as landeater, played his flute to his loved one.' Who knew?!
