SINGAPORE - Spurred on by shouts of "shove it in, shove it in," 19-year-old Ezra Nicholas set a world record by stuffing more than three McDonald's hamburgers into his mouth — without swallowing — at the close of Singapore's contest to be the world's wackiest.
Nicholas jumped up, pumped his fists in the air and shouted, "Yes! I am the Burger King!" as he spat out the last bits of the 3 and one-fifth burgers that could put him in the Guinness Book of World Records.
"I just thought to myself, I've got to do this, I've got to do this," Nicholas said. "I'm on top of the world right now, because everyone's going to know that I can shove more than three burgers in my mouth!"
The previous burger-stuffing record was set in 1998 by American Johnny Reitz, who squeezed three into his mouth without spitting or swallowing.
Over the weekend, 20 Singaporeans attempted to smash 10 unusual records and put the tiny island nation on the map. But they only broke two.
On Saturday, 50-year-old Jeffery Koh became the world's fastest eater of dry biscuits by swallowing three cream crackers in a mere 14.45 seconds, smashing the previous mark of 49.15 seconds set by Britain's Ambrose Mendy in 2002.
But other attempts over the weekend failed, ranging from the fastest to drink a 14-ounce bottle of ketchup through a straw to the longest paper airplane flight.
Some suffered the agony of defeat.
One contestant crashed into a pole and cut his forehead as he raced to push an orange with his nose over a mile in the fastest time. Others reported bruised knees and elbows.
Koh said Sunday his biscuit-eating efforts had left blisters in his mouth, hampering his burger-stuffing abilities. He could only stuff a little more than two burgers in his mouth before gagging and spitting them out.
Contestants also fought to
_ do the most push-ups in a minute;
_ pick up the most Smarties — a brand of candy-coated chocolates — with plastic chopsticks in the fastest time;
_ talk the fastest backward;
_ make the longest paper doll chain; and
_ say the most words in a minute
Four judges were flown in from Australia, and all record-breaking feats will be submitted to the Guinness Book of Records.

I'd like to meet the person who had the longest paper airplane flight.
