An 18-year-old Georgian man is aiming for a world record by blowing up empty hot water bottles with his nose. Jemal Tkeshelashvili has dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion since childhood. He's also dreamed of making it into the Guinness Book of World Records by blowing up hot water bottles until they burst.
But he wanted to make his talent unique, so he started blowing them up with only his nose. And he may have broken the record.
Last Wednesday in Tbilisi, Georgia, he managed to burst three hot rubber bottles. One in 23 seconds, the second in 16 seconds, and his last bottle in only 13 seconds. He even blew one up while a man sat on top of it.
But Tkeshelashvili will have to wait for the World Guinness Bank Commission to confirm his status as a record holder. In the meantime, he plans on another unique record attempt: he will pull a Boeing Airliner with his bare hands.
Agency reported that the current record for blowing up a standard hot water bottle until it bursts was 51.98 seconds set by Brian Jackson from the U.S. in April 2006.
