BETTER have brushed first.
Nine couples in Thailand
competed to kiss for more than
50 hours straight in a bid to break
the world record for the longest kiss.
The couples included one
elderly loved-up duo, Pannajet
Yomjinda, 74, and wife Suwanna,
70 who told media before the
event “I'm not sure if we'll win
because of our age,” Suwanna
told media.
“But if we were younger, we
would surely win,” she added.
The competition was staged at
the annual Ripley's Believe It Or
Not! contest in Pattaya, and
allowed the pairs to sip water
through a straw, as long as their
lips remain sealed.
Competitors were also able to
use a special toilet, accompanied
by referees, and again, as long as
their lips remain sealed.
The winning couple, Ekkachai
and Laksana Tiranarat, who
started their smooch on Valentine’s
Day managed to lock lips for 58
hours, 35 minutes and 58
seconds, and won around $9,000
in cash and prizes for their efforts.
GET more sleep!
The last thing Manfred Hofer
remembered was feeling drowsy
at the wheel of his car, before
nodding off and plunging down
an embankment.
The Swiss man was in fact so
tired, that he did not wake up
when his car fell, tumbled and
then wedged itself between rock
shelves.
According to reports, Hofer was
still slumbering as paramedics
worked frantically to free his body.
“They thought he'd been
unconscious but in fact he'd just
been sleeping very heavily,” a
medical officer said.
Hofer did eventually wake from
his respite, as he was being
loaded into an ambulance, with
several fractures, grazes and sprains.
He is currently recovering in
hospital, where hopefully he is
catching up on sleep.
