Briton Balances 100 Bricks On Head

Why put a hundred bricks on your head? To get your name in newspapers, of course - and into the Guinness Book of Records.

John Evans, 49, of Heanor, England, secured his place in the record book Monday at a London Zoo event promoting the 1997 edition of the book.

‘Twas nothing, said Evans, who has a 23-1/2-inch neck.

“I’ve done 200 pints of beer and balanced three people on my head before. The limit is endless - I’ve got the strongest neck in the world and it never gets sore,” he said.
