Ananova:

A Malaysian nicknamed "King Tooth" has pulled a seven-coach train using a steel rope clenched in his mouth.

Organisers said it is a new world record for the heaviest weight pulled with teeth.

Rathakrishnan Velu's hauled the 297.1 tonne train over 2.8 metres along the tracks at a railway station in Kuala Lumpur, reports the Daily Mail.

The feat is expected to be recognised by Guinness World Records in two to three weeks after verification of the data, said Rathakrishnan's manager, Anna Chidambar.

"I don't know what toothpaste he uses but I am sure a lot companies will be looking to endorse their products from Rathakrishnan," said Maximus Ongkili, a Cabinet minister, who witnessed the effort.
