| EFL An Italian man who reportedly broke the world record for non-stop kissing had to receive oxygen after his efforts. Officials at the St Valentine’s Day "kissathon" in Vicenza, northern Italy, said Andrea Sarti kissed girlfriend Anna Chen for 31 hours 18 minutes. I’d need all four tires changed after that one. After his marathon kiss Mr Sarti has to be resuscitated with oxygen by a first aid team while Ms Chen had to lie down. Mr Sarti reportedly entered the competition for the $12,700 prize money so he could marry Ms Chen. Competition rules were strict, with couples required to remain standing throughout the kiss. They were not allowed to eat, drink or go to the toilet, and could communicate only by using written or text messages the UK’s Guardian newspaper reported. [my bicuspate itches]... [honey you need a TicTac.] In addition to breathing problems, Mr Chen also suffered cramp, which Ms Chen attempted to alleviate by massaging him. "It was really difficult," organiser Lucaino Gaggia was quoted by the Guardian as saying. (what an appropriatte name) "We didn’t think they could do it. Their secret was concentration... and the ability not to think about time passing." -And one descreetly placed television set playing highlights from the last ten World Cups. - If confirmed by Guinness World Records, the kiss beats the previous record of 30 hours 59 minutes, set by an American couple in 2001.
I hope they publicize stuff like this thoroughly before it takes place. I would hate to happen accross it with the kids while on vacation. Hey, you. Get yourselves about a thousand rooms. | |
