Youth swallows 509 fish and breathes them out alive

Cuddalore: A youth has sought an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records by swallowing 509 ornamental fish and bringing them out alive through the nostrils.

Twentyfive-year-old Vijayakumar, who runs a yoga centre, swallowed the fish one by one and breathed them out alive before a gathering here yesterday.

Within an hour, he was able to swallow 509 ornamental fish, a feat which, he hoped, would win him an entry into the Guinness Book.

The youth, who has a penchant for creating records, attributed his success to regular yoga practice.

2. That is just weird! And gross.
I don't even want to know how someone goes about trying that for the first time and WHY someone would want to try that!

3. Well, I'm happy for the fish.
Assuming they were safe afterwards. With some decent therapy, they can go on to lead almost normal, somewhat productive lives, and might even lose the nightmares after several years. They probably will not enjoy swimming into those tiny fishbowl castles anymore, though.
