There's no point in living if you can't feel the life

It's widely known that China has been in overhaul preparing for the Olympics next month, but we never seem to focus on the individual citizens doing their part to get ready for the festivities.

Also preparing was Dr. Wei Sheng, the Chinese man who holds the Guinness Book record of sticking 1,790 needles in his head at one time. In June he stuck himself with 2,008 pins in the Olympic design and colors. [Daily Telegraph (London), 6-3-08]

Now THERE'S a Patriot! No, honestly I had no idea he held the record. I didn't know there WAS a record. In fact I don't think he deserves the title of record holder at all. Dethrone him! Off with his head (needles and all)!

There's only one other person in the world who has had more needles stuck in them and that person is AMY WINEHOUSE. Someone should congradulate her. Just don't get too close.... you'll be high for a month.
