Stumbled on this today and thought, what the hey, may as well share it:

Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, known as Hai Ngoc, said he could not sleep at night after getting a fever in 1973, and has counted infinite numbers of sheep during more than 11,700 consecutive sleepless nights.

Sanju Bhagat's stomach was once so swollen he looked nine months pregnant and could barely breathe...At first glance, it may look as if Bhagat had given birth. Actually, Mehta had removed the mutated body of Bhagat's twin brother from his stomach. Bhagat, they discovered, had one of the world's most bizarre medical conditions — fetus in fetu.

Shoichi Yokoi was a soldier, conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army in 1941 and sent to Guam shortly thereafter. In 1944, as American forces reconquered the island, Yokoi went into hiding. On January 24, 1972, Yokoi was discovered in a remote section of Guam by two of the island's inhabitants. For 28 years he had been hiding in an underground jungle cave.

Mehran Karimi Nasseri, also known as Sir, Alfred Mehran (yes, including the comma), is an Iranian refugee who has been living in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport since August 8, 1988.

Matayoshi Mitsuo is an eccentric Japanese politician with the conviction that he is the God and Christ.According to his program, he will do the Last Judgement as the Christ but the way to do this is totally within the current political system and its legitimacy. His first step as the Savior is to be appointed the prime minister of Japan.

Lal Bihari (born 1961) is a farmer from Uttar Pradesh, India who was officially dead from 1976 to 1994. He founded Mritak Sangh or the Association of the Dead in Uttar Pradesh, India. He fought Indian government bureaucracy for 18 years to prove that he is alive.

David Icke, is a former professional football player, BBC television sports presenter, and British Green Party national spokesperson. Since 1990, he has been what he calls a "full-time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world.": reptilians. He dresses only in turquoise and sustains that the world was ruled by a secret group called "The Elite" or Illuminati, who are a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie. (wtf on the last two?)

David Allen Bawden (born 1959), is an American citizen who was elected "Pope Michael I" by a group of six Conclavist or post-Sedevacantist Catholics, arguing that the elections of the last 6 popes were invalid because they are all modernists. Sedevacantists argue that if the College of Cardinals will not or cannot elect a valid pope, ordinary Catholics can do so, under the principle of "Epikeia" (Equity). Acting on the basis of this, David Bawden was elected Pope by six people on 1990 (including himself and his parents). He is still on the job to this day.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu (born June 26, 1928), a.k.a. Dr. NakaMats, is the Japanese inventor claiming to hold the world record for number of inventions with over 3,000, including the floppy disk and "PyonPyon" spring shoes. He has being photographing and retrospectively analyzing every meal he has consumed during a period of 34 years (and counting). The goal of Nakamatsu is to live to be 144 years old (a Japanese century).

Michel Lotito (born June 15, 1950) is a French entertainer. Lotito, is known as Monsieur Mangetout (Mister Eat-it-all) and is famous as the consumer of undigestables, such as bicycles, televisions and a whole Cessna 150. It is estimated that between 1959–1997 Lotito had eaten around 9 tons of metal.

To stop it being spam, do you have anyone you think is worthy to be included in the Top 10?

He isn't, he just wants to be; poor Mr. Matayoshi has yet to be elected to a single position in government.
His page on Wikipedia is amusing reading, but my favorite part is the list simply titled "Unsuccessful Candidacies":
Mayor of Ginowan election (1997)
House of Councilors election, from Okinawa (1998)
Governor of Okinawa prefecture election (1998)
Mayor of Ginowan election (2001)
Mayor of Nago election (2002)
Governor of Okinawa prefecture election (2002)
House of Representatives election, from Tokyo 1st district (2003)
House of Councilors election, from Tokyo (2004)
House of Representatives election, from Tokyo 1st district (2005)
I understand he is also planning to run for Dog Catcher of Ginowan in 2009.

I have serious doubts about Thai Ngoc, as from what I have gathered he refused to undergo tests and the longest he has been seen awake by anyone other than his fellow villagers is 4 days by a news agency from Thailand. Also, if this were true I can imagine a number of neurologists would like to see what's going on in this guy's thalamus.

Also, David Icke is quite possibly the craziest man alive.

This raises an interesting philisophical question - how does one define "Crazy"?

Well, at least no one can say the guy is a quitter. If at first you don't succeed, try try try try try.....

For one thing, he's able to put a coherent sentence together. That alone invalidates his position, surely.

I personally think Matayoshi-kami-sama would get the otaku vote by promising sexy, age-appropriate pale, blue-haired cold angel hybrid girls for everyone. ;)

Pssh, been there, done that. If you want to make the list, you have to put effort into it. You have to dedicate yourself like the people in the list did.

Personally, I have a list of things I could easily do that would get me on the list. But I'll wait until I can do better than I can now.
