A Pakistani man broke the world-record for "ear-lifting" in Vienna, carrying almost 62 kilograms from a cord attached to his right ear.
Zafar Gill's feat earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, as part of a day of record-breaking attempts in the Austrian capital, organized under the slogan "Vienna – Record breaker".
Gill had to use a special head grip to protect both his ear and temple, as he lifted the weight for seven seconds about 10 centimeters off the ground.
After warming up with a more modest 30-kilo weight, Gill took up the record-breaking 61.7 kilos with only a brief cry of pain.
Gill, who himself only weighs 90 kilos, trains everyday but insists he has never had any hearing problems due to his peculiar hobby.
Among all the weird and wacky record-breaking attempts, Michael Krappel made music for 24 hours using just his mouth, lips and tongue -- before deciding to call it a day.(AFP-Naharnet) |
