Teen Inflates Balloons With His Nose
By Bizarre News

Whoever said kids don't have ambition any more? A 13-year-
old Blaine, Wash., boy said he believes he has set a world
record by inflating 213 balloons with his nose in the space
of an hour.

Andrew Dahl, who credited playing the trumpet with giving
him his lung strength, said Guinness World Records refused
to certify his videotaped previous attempt at the feat, 184
balloons in an hour, because he did not tie the balloons
himself.

However, Dahl said this time he did all of his own tying,
and the attempt was captured by multiple video cameras and
witnessed by numerous friends and family. The teenager said
he expects to hear back from Guinness within a few weeks
regarding whether his latest attempt qualifies for the Book
of World Records.

Dahl's father, Doug, said he measured each balloon after it
was inflated to ensure it met the minimum diameter, 20 centi-
meters (about 7.9 inches) and the boy's mother, Wendy, kept
a running tally of Andrew's nose-inflated balloons during
the event.

The teen said he has been inflating balloons with his nose
since he was 7-years-old.

"When we had barbecues or get-togethers I'd do it just to
show that I could," he said.

World Record Hambuger

Forget gas prices. Forget food shortages. You can even forget
about cholesterol. Because all of these minor problems have
been eclipsed by the accomplishment of a visionary in South-
gate, Michigan.

Steve Mallie, the owner of a Michigan sports bar, claims to
have set a new world record for the largest hamburger. The
24-inch giant assembled and cooked at Mallie's Sports Grill
and Bar weighed 134 pounds when cooked.

Mallie said he believes he has clearly topped the previous
record set by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pa.,
which produced a 123-pounder last year.

"That is the way we pride ourselves: We have the world's best
and now we have the world's biggest," said Mike Matkin,
Mallie's press agent.

The bar already offers 6-pound and 12-pound burgers, usually
bought by groups or families and cut into slices. Mallie
plans to add his really big burger to the menu for a price
of $399 and 24-hours notice.

He said he hopes to get the burger into the Guinness Book of
World Records. Well, as long as you make your mark in history
somehow.
