Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya - “Pictures of the day” By ‘The Telegraph’ (U.K.)

10 February 2011


A teacher has broken the world record for number of pencils one person can fit in the mouth. Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya from Mumbai managed to cram 93 of them between his lips, beating the previous record of 70 set by Todd DeFazio of Pittsburgh.

The criteria for the record were that the pencils must stay in the mouth for at least five seconds, he could use rubber bands to hold pencils together and the pencils must stay in mouth without external support. See the YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nRCrrl5AJ4

On 7th Feb, 2011 France24 International News considered the "World Record Of Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya" as Video of The Day in her show.

Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya from Mumbai in India set himself the unlikely challenge of beating the world record for number of pencils fitted in the mouth. And he has become the new world record holder by fitting no less than 92 pencils in his mouth at the same time. It is a very impressive performance, although the point of it remains to be seen.
