Did you see this in the papers today? I think her record is better than his - 32 days with 3,400 scorpions (wonder where she got them all?) against 28 days with 1,000 centipedes. I mean, centipedes aren't even dangerous, are they?
Still, they both beat me; my personal best is a weekend in a cupboard with three woodlice (and one of them wasn't very well).
Scorpion queen Kanchana Ketkaew, and her bridegroom Bunthawee Siengwong who puts centipedes in his mouth, pose during their wedding ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2006 in Pattaya city. The couple with a soft spot for creepy crawlers _ Thailand's Scorpion Queen and Centipede King _ held their Valentine's Day's wedding Tuesday at a haunted house. Kanchana, 36, who set a world record in 2002 for spending 32 days in a glass cage with 3,400 scorpions, wedded 29-year-old Bunthawee who set a Thai record for enduring 28 days with 1,000 centipedes.

What paper was this?
Scorpion Fanciers' Gazette.
Also in the Independent today, but the press cutting is off the internet.
