LANSING, Mich. -- A Michigan pet store employee got himself a mouthful of cockroaches -- on purpose.The Lansing State Journal reported Sean Murphy on Friday stuffed 16 Madagascar hissing cockroaches into his mouth. He was trying to set a new Guinness World Records mark and said the old record was 11.Murphy initially got 12 squirming cockroaches into his mouth, but then kept adding them until he got to 16. He said it was a big surprise since he's never fit that many in his mouth before in one try. The employee of Preuss Pets in Lansing said each cockroach was at least 2½ inches long. Murphy says he might try for 20 next year. A video of the feat was posted on the newspaper's Web site. Murphy's effort would need to be certified by Guinness for it to be official.
