A
man in Panama with indestructible teeth, astonishing jaws of steel and
anawesome resemblance to Mr. T is gnawing his way toward a Guinness
World Record.
At
64-years-old, Andres Gardin -- who chomps under the moniker "Coconut
Peeler" -- is vying for immortality in the Guinness Book of World
Records, with his ability to shuck 500 coconuts in six hours. He proved
the feat last September, MSN reports.He's been honing his peeling
skills since he was 11 and says he has shredded more than 100,000
coconuts in his lifetime, AFP reports.
The
master of the hairy fruit recently proved his skills on a disheveled
basketball court in Panama after he peeled off a coconut's hardened skin
in an impressive eight seconds.
"Peeling
coconuts is not as easy as you all think," Gardin told a group of fans.
"To peel coconuts, you've got to have jaw power. You've got to have
teeth power," AFP reported.
While
Guinness officials have yet to verify Gardin's record, he is determined
to get world-reconigition for his feats of strength.
"I want to get in the Guinness Book, because I know that I have what it takes," he said.
His oral
skills don't stop there. On May 10, Gardin, who drives a cab as his
day-job, demonstrated his impressive dental strength to a crowd of
onlookers in Rio Alejandro, about 85 km north of Panama City, when he
dragged two cars by his teeth through a crowd of flabbergasted
onlookers.
