Before you read this stretch your mouth as wide as you can...




The 20-year-old, who can fit a can of fizzy pop – sideways – in his flexible gob, won the World’s Widest Mouth title at the Big Mouth competition in Rome.
It was ‘a dream come true to be honoured by Guinness World Records’, he said.  The ‘jaw of awe’, as he’s apparently known, shot to stardom on the streets of Angolan capital Luanda – and was tracked down by Guinness Book of World Records researchers, who spent two years trying to find him. 
The YouTube sensation’s drinks tin insertion beat jaw-dropping talent from around the world, with contestants cramming their cakeholes with saucers, coffee cups and beer bottles. 
He’s even performed on Italian TV, popping a can in and out of his mouth 14 times in a minute.

Is she an EVIL TEACHER?

A teacher in Cape Breton, N.S., was disciplined after she allegedly taped a first-grader to a chair during class.
In early October, a mother claimed a teacher at Greenfield Elementary taped her daughter's legs to a chair. She demanded the teacher be punished and the school apologize.
Lorne Greene, chairman of the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board, confirmed the teacher had been disciplined and said he personally apologized to the girl's mother.
Greene wouldn't say what disciplinary action was taken against the teacher, who is still employed with the school.

Do you think the child deserved this? I mean being tied to the chair? If you were a student would you stand there and watch this? I mean, if the teacher did this during class. Do you think the teacher should still be allowed to teach at this school? Or even teach? What do you think? Please say your opinion in the comments area...

Kids don't do this at home.

Man dances while smoking something suspicious. This should not count as a "official" post. Just wanted to share what might happen if you smoke and dance...

Lady Gets a Little Cranky Over McNuggets

A security video from a McDonald's in Ohio shows a woman punching two restaurant employees and smashing a drive-thru window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets.

The tantrum caught on tape in Toledo earlier this year shows the customer reaching through the drive-thru window, slugging one worker and then another. She then grabs a bottle out of her car and tosses it through the glass window before speeding off.

 Police say Melodi Dushane was angry that McNuggets weren't being served, because it was breakfast time.

Dushane says she was drunk at the time. She was sentenced to 60 days in jail last month and ordered to pay McDonald's for the broken window.

On your mark get set... SLEEP!

An unemployed security guard from Ecuador is now $1,000 euros ($1,430) richer and slightly more refreshed after winning the first Siesta Championship.
The contest, organized by the National Association of Friends of the Siesta to promote the national tradition of taking a nap in the afternoon, was held in a busy shopping centre in Madrid reports British paper The Telegraph.
More than three hundred contestants were given 20 minutes to lie down on a sofa in an attempt to sleep the longest during that time. A doctor was on hand to monitor how long they were actually sleeping.
Sixty-two-year-old Pedro Soria Lopez said having a big lunch helped him fall into a deep snooze, which got extra points because he also snored at 70 decibels (the same as someone talking loudly). Contestants were also given extra points for original sleeping positions and choice of napping apparel.

Well, in my opinion, I think it's easier for the "elderly" people to fall asleep than the "younger people". Do you think this competition would be easy?

I pronounce you... Wife

TAIPEI - Chen Wei-yih has posed for a set of photos in a flowing white dress, enlisted a wedding planner and rented a banquet hall for a marriage celebration with 30 friends.
But there is no groom. Chen will marry herself.
Uninspired by the men she’s met but facing social pressure to get married, the 30-year-old Taipei office worker will hold the reception next month in honour of just one person.
“Age thirty is a prime period for me. My work and experience are in good shape, but I haven’t found a partner, so what can I do?” Chen said.
But, is this the way to go? If you can't find a partner, should you marry yourself, or just say you're single? Is it okay to do this?  What do you think?

Crocodile Kills

A plane crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo in August that killed 20 people was the result of a loose crocodile and panicked passengers, a report has found.
A small Let L-410 Turbolet crashed into a house on Aug. 20, killing everyone aboard except one person.
That lone survivor told officials a passenger had a crocodile hidden in his sports bag. When the plane began its descent to Bandundu, the croc escaped and crawled down the aisle.
"The terrified air hostess hurried towards the cockpit, followed by the passengers," reads a report about the crash obtained by various British newspapers.
The stampede threw the aircraft off balance, the report says, despite the best efforts of Dutch pilot Danny Philemotte, 62, and British co-pilot Chris Wilson, 39.
The plane crashed into an empty house 100 metres from its destination.
