Indian claims record for 'cement blocks smashed on groin'
An Indian man is claiming the world record for having the most number of cement blocks broken on his groin at once.
Bibhuti Bhushan Nayak endured three 41lbs blocks placed on his groin being smashed with a sledgehammer.
A Guinness Book of World Records spokesman says it betters the current 'groin break' record held by American Cliff Flenoy by one.
The 36-year-old martial arts expert of Airoli, near Bombay, also broke the record for completing the most push-ups in a minute.
He managed 133, beating Briton Paul Dean, who did 116 in July 2000.
Local newspaper Saanj Samacha says the feats were recorded by a TV crew and Nayak will be applying for it to be ratified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
He says a television series on human endurance inspired him to break records.
He added: "The acts are not only very strenuous but extremely dangerous. However nothing can be achieved without risks. I want to aim higher and break other records."
Mr Nayak already figures in the Guinness Book for completing 819 backhand push-ups in an hour.
He has also found mention in India's Limca Book of Records for performing 1448 sit-ups in an hour, and for getting kicked 43 times in the groin.
Too funny!!!
However, at least their population growth stopped at one (or so), not 890,785,632,008.
Nah.
Nah.
No way.
No way.
I mean, unless he has no genitals, right?
Any martial arts experts out there?
I can understand that he might express no pain, but there's no way he could avoid damage.
You can't get callouses down there enough, right?
"OOOFFF!!! Okay, only 42 more to go!"
Count me out.
Why 43? Because the previous record was 42 and he didn't want to overdo it.
Who had the previous record? Same guy.
Ping. Don't miss this story. Ladies, in the interests of the gender war, I feel we should require that the gentlemen on the list explain, forthwith, WHY these things happen. The one who gives the best explanation wins our sponsorship for the next contest.
Come on guys, don't be wimps ... go for 44.
LMAO dude!
