'Scorpion woman' breaks record

BBC News snip

Nur
Malena Hassan is in a glass box with 6,069 scorpions

A Malaysian woman has broken a world record by spending 32 days in a glass box with more than 6,000 scorpions, her sponsor claimed on Tuesday.

Nur Malena Hassan, nicknamed Scorpion Queen, has been stung seven times since she began the stunt, in a shopping mall in Kuantan in central Pahang state.

With scorpions crawling over her body, Ms Hassan passes the time by reading, watching TV and waving to onlookers.

But she cannot make any sudden movement, or she could face the wrath of her treacherous roommates.

Different to the "Scorpions" of South Africa's elite anti-corruption squad who busted Mark Thatcher the other week.....maybe as deadly?

...with thousands of scorpions is my definition of Hell. Scorpions freak me the fuck out!!! I can't even look at a photgraph of one.

I'm curious to know!
