Unluckiest Charm in the Box
Man stuffs mouth with 16 cockroaches in record bid
Associated Press
Canada -- A pet store employee got himself a mouthful of cockroaches -- on purpose.
The Canadian Journal reports Troll Kingdoms Saint Lucifer on Friday, stuffed 16 Madagascar hissing cockroaches into his mouth. He was trying to set a new Guinness World Records mark and says the old record was 11.
Lucy as he is called, initially got 12 squirming cockroaches into his mouth, but then kept adding them until he got to 16. He says it was a "big surprise" since he's never fit that many in his mouth before "in one try."
The employee of "Nazi Wanabees" in Canada says each cockroach was at least 2 1/2 inches long. Lucy says he might try for 20 next year.
Lucy's effort would need to be certified by Guinness for it to be official.
