"A Russian man on Monday claimed to have set a new world record - for fasting. A bearded and hollow-cheeked Agasi Vartanyan finished what he said was his 50th day without food, climbing out of plastic cube on the banks of the Neva River outside of St Petersburg."
If verified by Guinness, he beat Blaine's record of 44 days. He was torqued because the media didn't give him the same attention it gave Blaine. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&......5517B262

Wow... it's funny that he is upset that he didn't get as much media attention as blaine, but where did he put in the work?
Blaine secured a big clear box in a very public section of a big town, went on tons of media programs before he even started, etc etc to publicise it. It seems like this guy doesn't even realise that. |

Maybe if he'd paid more attention to Blaine's stunt, he would have noticed that Guinness doesn't accept fasting records nor endorse them. Hence why Blaine does not hold a record for that with Guinness. Silly man. Still, very impressive if true.
