My favorite world record was the longest metal coil passed through the nose and out the mouth.

What fascinated me about the world record was having an 11ft wire going into your nose and out your mouth. Also having so much courage to do that and take the time to analyse the way your nose and body is structured so it wouldn't injure you.
