Passage2
Bug Man Breaks Record
 A Thai man entered the Guinness Book of World Records on November 9 by spending 28 days in a glass room with 1,000 centipedes, 13 months after his girlfriend broke the record for living with deadly scorpions.
 Professional bug-handler Boontawee Siengwong (Noo) suffered dangerous bits but came out excited from his ordeal. “I’m proud I could break the record for the longest stay with centipedes.” he said. “I was bitten five times during my 28 days but I was well taken care of by doctors.” he said.
 There was no previous record listed for living with centipedes, so Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Museum checked the session to make sure it could enter the record books. During the record attempt Noo was allowed to leave the room for 15 minutes every eight hours. A Ripley’s representative said the firm would
pass on the official papers and other facts supporting the attempt to the Guinness Book for verification-AFP (From Student Weekly, Vol XXXVI, No.47)
