Teenager goes viral after putting 138 pencils in his mouth

Raja Thapa, from Nepal, managed to stuff a jaw-dropping 138 pencils into his chops, breaking the previous record of 92 set by Dinesh Shivnath Upadyaya of India.

But 19-year old Raja said he loves doing weird things, and after watching some quirky records, he felt motivated to go the same way.

He said: "I saw some quirky records being broken in Nepal, so I wanted to do the same."

Raja, who works as security guard, now plans to do regular street shows and attempt to break more quirky world records.

"I want to be called the street hero of Nepal," he told Mirror UK.
