This man at the Punjab Youth Festival shows he’s not to be messed with by smashing loads of walnuts with his head.

We all know nutters, but nutters with a nut that can nut and smash walnuts like this have to be respected. In the process he smashed the much coveted Smashing Walnuts With Your Head world record. He is the Roger Bannister of his generation and we applaud him. He had a few scratches on his forehead after it, but it’s a small price to enter the record books. We think.

The Punjab Youth Festival is an annual event in Lahore where youngster attempt a range of quirky and unusual sports records. The Smashing Walnuts With Your Head lobbyists are confident of it becoming an Olympic sport any day now.
