Chinese Acupuncturist Pierced Himself 2008 Times and sets World Record

This is going back a bit, back to the 2008 Olympics in China when all sorts of patriotism was happening amongst the Chinese population. This guy decided that he should try and break his previous Guinness World Record of sticking 1790 needles into himself, by sticking 2008 of them – for the Olympics.

Was it “pointless“? Obviously not! He set a new world record and probably spread the word about acupuncture successfully.
