We cover all sorts of crazy world records on the show. It seems likes matches are the trend right now. Just last week, we discussed a man who built a replica of the Eiffel Tower using matchsticks. He ended up not receiving the record after being disqualified for the type of matchsticks he used. Now, a man still creative, just in a a different way. A Danish man sticks 68 matches up his nose to set a Guinness World Record.
68 Matches Up His Nostrils
A man from Denmark named Peter von Tangen Buskov shattered a previous world record for most matchsticks in a person's nostrils. The previous record was 45 and Peter stuffed his nostrils with an astonishing 68 matchsticks! It's unclear if Peter knew he had this remarkable talent or if he just went for it and surprised himself. According to UPI.com, he said "Surprisingly it didn't really hurt. I have fairly large nostrils and quite stretchy skin. I'm sure that helped a lot." It's unclear if there was a time restraint on how long he had to fill his nostrils or if it's just about the quantity. You can see it all for yourself if interested in the video we've provided courtesy of Guinness World Records YouTube page.
Set One Yourself!
Like Peter, if you have an interest in becoming a Guinness World Record holder, you just need to browse what's out there. He said that he started flipping through the current records to see if there was anything he could accomplish. We'd love to hear about any records our listeners have or even better, have failed to complete. We have to imagine there are a bunch of people who attempt to do something off-the-wall and fail. Maybe an interesting documentary idea. Trademark Dave and Chuck the Freak!
