LONDON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The Guinness Book Of World Records has branched out into the obscure, obscene and just plain gross with its new "Best Gross World Records" book.

Among those who actually sought to be published were Mike Moraal of British Columbia, Canada, who holds the record for squirting milk from his eye a distance of 103 inches on French television Sept. 7, 2001.

Paul Hunn, of London, registered a burp at 118.1 decibels on the set of Guinness World Records, London, in April 2000, while the coveted title for world's longest ear hair goes to Radhakant Bajpai of India, whose hair sprouting from the centre of his outer ears measures five inches.

The farthest a marshmallow has been blown out of one nostril and caught in the mouth of a catcher is 16.2 feet. Scott Jeckel of Illinois launched a marshmallow into the mouth of Ray Perisin on the set of American Guinness World Records, Aug. 13, 1999.
