In
the regional paper for the southern Netherlands Het Eindhovens Dagblad of Monday
the 23rd of august we red:
"
Between 6000 scorpions."
Kuala Lumpur - Six thousand scorpions
are during the next seven weeks the companions of the 27 year old Malaysian Nur
Malena Hassan. She let lock up herself in a glass showcase with the poisonous
animals in a shopping-center in Kuantan. After the pictures it concerns Heterometrus
spinnifer ( The sting of this beast can evoke severe problems with
the eyes, serious fever and qualms.)
With her stay between the swarming
scorpions Nur Malena wants to establish a record and gain in this way a place
in the Guinness Book of Records.
During her attempt on a record the Malaysia
may leave her poky little room only for fifteen minutes per day.
Some experience
with life scorpions she has already:: in 2001 she sat for 31 days in a glass box
with 2700 scorpions. She has been bitten seven times"-
In
the paper was not mentioned whether she was wearing clothes during this daring
exploit.
In the paper of the 22nd of September we read that Scorpio-Queen succeeded
in her aim. This time she has been stung again "only" 7 times. She will
stay in the glass box for a while to secure her record
