A 13-year-old American boy is claiming Guinness World Records by blowing up 213 balloons with his nose in an hour, media reported Tuesday.
Andrew Dahl, an eighth-grader at Blaine Middle School, showed his feat in the public library at the town Blaine, Washington, on Friday.
The schoolboy brought one after another balloons to his nose, plugged one side of it, exhaled through the open nostril and quickly tied off the inflated balloons.
His father, Doug Dahl, measured the balloons to make sure each was at least 20 centimeters, the minimum diameter, and his mother, Wendy Dahl, kept the tally.
The 213 record was the boy's second try. In February he sent a videotape of himself inflating 184 balloons, only to be told that it didn't count because he handed them to his father to tie.
This time he tied them off himself. If Guinness World Records certifies the results, Andrew will own the record for the feat.
