KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - A former Malaysian snake farm worker may have set a new world record after kissing a poisonous snake 51 times in three minutes, a report said.

Shahimi Abdul Hamid's feat in kissing the 4.6 metre (14 feet) long King Cobra weighing 10 kilograms (22 pounds) 51 times in three minutes and one second was a record waiting to be verified, the Sunday Star newspaper said.

Records showed that Gordon Cates from Florida, the United States kissed 11 cobras without a time limit in September 1999.

Cates had used an iron bar to protect himself while Shahimi used only his bare hands.

Asked why he did such a dangerous act on Saturday, Shahimi said: "Malaysians should know that if one has sufficient knowledge of reptiles, there would be no problem in dealing with them."

Questions that need to be asked - was the snake alive? was it tanquillized? did it still have venom? was it's mouth sewn shut? was he an idiot... no, that's a given.

Often these snakes have their fangs and venom glands removed. And it's venomous not poisonous.

There is an old saying .... Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

This falls squarely in this category.
