Man removes all his teeth to set Guinness world record (pics)

His obsession to set new Guinness world records has led him to perform some bizarre acts

Newsroom May 26 09:47

An Indian man obsessed with setting Guinness world records had all his teeth removed so he could put about 500 drinking straws and more than 50 burning candles in his mouth.

Har Parkash Rishi, who claims to have set more than 20 records, now calls himself Guinness Rishi.

His obsession to set new Guinness world records has led him to perform some bizarre acts, including delivering a pizza from New Delhi to San Francisco and gulping a bottle of tomato ketchup in less than four minutes, Reuters reports.

As Rishi says, the toughest one was stuffing the straws in his mouth.

“I am the world record holder of 496 straws in my mouth … For that record, I needed space, I had to remove every tooth so that I could put maximum straws in my mouth,” Rishi told Reuters.
