Boy blows up balloon record with nose
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | No comments posted.
BLAINE, Wash. (AP) — A 14-year-old boy from Blaine has broken his own record for blowing up balloons with his nose.
Using only his left nostril, Andrew Dahl inflated 308 balloons in an hour Tuesday, each to at least 8 inches in diameter, for the “Live with Regis and Kelly” television show in New York.
Stuart Claxton, a Guinness Book of World Records representative, announced, “He’s literally blown the record away with 308 balloons.”
Dahl said he was a “little bit” out of breath but felt pretty good.
He set the old mark of 213 balloons at his hometown library in April.
Doug Dahl said his son discovered the talent while sitting in a car at age 7.
“That’s something only a boy can discover,” show co-host Kelly Ripa said.
