A 70 plus Indian man who is really obsessed with setting Guinness world records, got 366 flags tattooed on his body and removed all his teeth so that he could put nearly 500 drinking straws and more than 50 burning candles in his mouth.
Har Parkash Rishi, has made almost 20 records in different fields now calls himself Guinness Rishi. Born in 1942 in a cinema hall in the Indian capital, New Delhi, Mr Rishi first got into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1990 when, with two friends, he rode a scooter for 1,001 hours.
500 tattos on his body brought him into further limelight. The passion and madeness to get his name in the record book 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.
He was quoted saying that “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.”
