Oh, we forgot to mention he blows them up with his nose.

The Blaine, Washington boy is hoping to officially get into the Guinness Book of World Records after blowing up balloons using only his nose. [Andrew] Dahl put the inflatables to one nostril at a time and proceeded to expel air into 213 of them, blowing them up to the required 20 centimetres, the minimum allowed for the record.

He did it in the requisite time of 60 minutes at the local library, while his mother kept careful track. “Does this count as practicing my trumpet?” he asked his mom at one point during the Herculean effort. His mother’s answer: “Only if you can play that with your nose.”

This was a real family affair, with his dad carefully measuring every balloon to ensure it was the right size.
