Malaysian kisses cobra 51 times in 3 minutes

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Xinhua) -- A Malaysian ex-snake farm worker made a record by kissing a venous cobra 51 times, local media reported Sunday. Shahimi Abdul Hamid, 33, kissed the King Cobra, 4.6 meters longand 10 kilograms heavy, in three minutes and one second Saturday in Genting Highlands near here. The large cobra looked agitated after the first few easy kisses, and then Shahimi showed agility by moving swiftly to avoid being bitten. After the 51st kiss, he received a thunderous applause from the audience at the First World Hotel and Malaysian Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Liow Tiong Lai presented him with a certificate. Shahimi's feat was a world record waiting to be verified.

If anything you're kissing starts to look agitated, its a definite sign that something is going horribly wrong for you.

I was a little surprised there was no monetary award. Obviously an amature event, perhaps something that could be presented to the Olympic committee for inclusion at the next games.
