Today in Dubious Achievements

posted by on October 1 at 14:26 PM

Breaking news from Vienna:

A Pakistani man broke the world-record for “ear-lifting” in Vienna Sunday, carrying almost 62 kilograms (137 pounds) 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, organised under the slogan “Vienna - Recordbreaker.”

Okay, I guess lifting 137lbs. with your ear is kinda impressive—wait, what’s this?

Gill had to use a special headgrip to protect both his ear and temple, as he lifted the weight for seven seconds about 10 centimetres (four inches) off the ground.

Pussy.
