Lithuanian sets new record for lifting a woman with his beard

While much of the world was paying attention to snow storms, the upcoming new year, and the inevitable post-Christmas letdown last week, Lithuania's Antanas Kontrimas broke his own world record by lifting a woman weighing 63 kg and 400 grams (138 pounds) with his beard.

Two years earlier Kontrimas lifted a woman weighing just a hair less for Italian television. There aren't any subtitles, but it's pretty easy to follow the action.



For you German speakers, here is Kontrimas and his beard lifting a woman on RTL TV.

One of the benefits of picking up women with your beard is the post-lift hug. That's something he did without when he pulled a jeep loaded with five Lithuanian soldiers with his beard of steel. This video has English subtitles.

Good news for troubled times.
