Mehmet Yilmaz snorts milk up his nose and squirts it out of his eye in a bid to set a new world record in Istanbul, Turkey, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2004. Yilmaz squirted the milk 2 meters 79.5 centimeters, surpassing the exisitng world record of 2 meters 61 centimeters. Organizers said the record must still be verified.

Gut reaction: that's disgusting.

After thoughtful reflection: that's very disgusting.

I recently (within the last 2 years or so) developed a channel between my nose and my right eye. I've never attempted (and don't plan to attempt) the milk trick, but it is very unpleasant when I have a cold and try to blow my nose...

There's....an offical world record....for....EYE SQUIRTING?! Sounds like a touch of the TMST (too much spare time) syndrome to me. Hmph...and the best trick I can do with my eyes is roll them one at a time, independent of each other.

I remember seeing Penn and Teller on Letterman back in the 80s do a trick where they took a dried bean, Letterman drew a picture on it to mark it, and Teller put the bean in his mouth, made lots of snorting noises, and the bean came out his lower eyelid. Just like the milk picture above.

Sometimes I'll stifle a burp when drinking soda, and get a tingly feeling in my eyes from the soda getting in there.

Oh, and that picture is gross.

Wow that's 6.820866141705 feet!

I wonder if it makes a difference if you use skim vs. whole milk?

LabRat · 09-01-2004, 12:41 PM

how the hell do you get a hole from your nose to your eye?

russotto · 09-01-2004, 12:45 PM

The passages betwee your nose and your eyes is naturally present. They normally allow your tears to flow from your eyes into your nose instead of running down your face. Having accidentally blown air backwards through it, I have to say that hurts.

Happy Monkey · 09-01-2004, 02:03 PM

I'll rephrase, then.

My naturally present passage between my nose and my right eye has, within the last two years, become more succeptible to allowing reverse flow. I now have to put a finger on the inner corner of my eye when I blow my nose.

Ok, I wasn't grossed out by anything in this thread yet but THAT did it.

Time to find a suitably benign substance and get into training, man.

Saline solution. Get a cup of lukewarm water, and add some salt.

Happy Monkey · 09-01-2004, 02:12 PM

My work here is done.

LabRat · 09-01-2004, 02:29 PM

well, you learn somethin' new every day... i probably shouldn't blow my nose so hard, or i'll end up like HM (my husband calls me "the train")
