Scorpion Queen does it!
Woman Endures 32 Days With Scorpions
AP: Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian woman has broken a world record by enduring 32 days enclosed in a glass box with 6,069 scorpions, suffering seven stings in the process.
Nur Malena Hassan, 27, will remain in the case, on display in a shopping mall, until Saturday.
Late Monday, Nur Malena surpassed the previous record held by a woman from Thailand, who spent 31 days in a glass box with 3,400 scorpions.
Malena left the room on Saturday for two minutes to cut a cake and celebrate her 27th birthday.
Otherwise, she has left the room only once a day for a 15-minute bathroom break.
Thousands of Malaysians have visited the mall to observe Nur Malena in the room, where she sleeps, eats and performs Muslim prayers, moving very carefully to not upset her dangerous roommates.

Forget the scorpions! You know what really impresses me about this story? She only goes to the bathroom once a day! Now THAT is remarkable.
