In England a humanitarian effort was launched to raise money for Eve, a pet chicken to be the first hen in Britain to receive radiation therapy for treatment of cancer. Brothers Ken and Andrew Hundahl decided to use their unique talents to do whatever it took to give their precious pet a chance at a cancer free life. "Both of us have been blessed with different abilities and we both love Eve very much so why not try to set world records in an effort to raise the cash to save Eve.", says Ken.
So Ken took his talent to the set of "The Big Breakfast Show" where he told his heart breaking story of Eve's peril, then sat down and proceeded to eat 36 cockroaches in one minute, beating the world’s record achieved just minutes earlier by 14 year old Jyoti Amge from India.
"Swallowing cockroaches is like having an anesthetic at the back of your throat because of the scent they emit to ward off predators", he says. Hmm... Obviously it doesn't work very well against humans.
Ken, a marketing and investment consultant also has a collection of 5,180 air sickness bags from 1,003 different airlines "which", he says, "comes in handy if they don't stop squirming while going down"! He also shares his collection with his brother Andrew.
Kens 13-year-old brother Andrew is claiming the world record for blowing up balloons with his nose. Using one nostril at a time he inflated 213 balloons within an hour in the town's public library. Even though Andrew has never needed to use one of the prized air sickness bags himself they are made available to his audience,
Needless to say enough money was raised to pay for Eve's radiation therapy.
Then Jyoti Amge, the girl Ken beat at cockroach eating, who stands at a tiny 1ft 11in tall, and only weighs 11 pounds, holds the world’s record for being the smallest girl in the world. She jumped up on the two brothers table and kicked Ken square in the teeth with a ninja style "HY-YAH"!
"I needed to win that competition to get my Amy out of the hospital." Amy is her pet diaper-wearing monkey who was quarantined by Animal Control officers while rabies tests are being completed after biting a pit bull that jumped over the fence into their yard to attack her tiny owner.
"She saved my life and you thwarted my only chance to get her treatments", she cried, "Now she'll be forced to take place in recruiting herds of sheep to eat the grass at city parks to save money on landscaping."
“Gee I'm sorry Jyoti but all I could think of was my poor Eve.” Then Andrew whispered something into Ken's ear, he nodded then told Jyoti, “We won enough to help you pay for Amy's treatments too!”
At this news Ken and Jyoti fell in love only later to have Ken arrested for molestation, Andrew being distraught inhaled a balloon and suffocated, which left Jyoti and Amy having Eve for dinner!
