Mich. man claims cockroach crown
Sean Murphy of Lansing said it likely will be weeks before he learns whether the 16 Madagascar hissing cockroaches he held in his mouth for 10 seconds will be recognized as a world record, the Lansing State Journal reported.
Murphy, who works in a pet store, apparently broke the record of 11 cockroaches Friday night by holding 12 in his mouth for the mandated 10 seconds. Then he sought to extend his unofficial record to 16.
"I've never gotten it in one try so that was a big surprise," he said of his unusual feat.
Murphy told the State Journal his days of putting cockroaches in his mouth are not yet behind him.
"Let's see if anyone can match that within the next year and maybe next Halloween I'll shoot for 20," the pet store employee said.

for a person not to be best at something--they will go to great lengths to find their niche.
Can't see a lot of people rushing to bet the record.
Question is, how many could he eat?
