Lasha Pataraia, from Georgia, has set a new record by pulling a 7734 kilogram (17,015lb) Mi-8 helicopter using just his left ear.

He earned himself a place in the Guinness World Book of Records on Saturday, 27 October, by pulling the Russian built helicopter 26 metres 30 centimetres (c85ft). The 27 year old former wrestling champion set the record on his third attempt.

When asked about future plans, he said, "I intend to double the weight and pull the helicopter with two ears."

I'm a little curious as to how Mr Pataraia first discovered he had a talent for pulling heavy objects with his ear. I'm twenty-eight years old and I can honestly say it's something I've managed to go my entire life without trying.

My wings are like a shield of steel.
