Man of 1,000 faces into record book

SEMARANG: The Indonesian Museum of Records here has entered
the name of a 75-year-old man nicknamed "the man of a thousand
faces" into its record book because he is able to twist his face
into numerous positions.

Museum manager Paulus Pangka told Antara yesterday that
Masngudin, of Tegalsari Barat village near here, could change his
face by moving the muscles in his eyes, mouth, and nose.

Paulus said it was a wonder that Masngudin, who was also
recorded in the museum's book of records on Jan. 27, 1990 for
flexing his muscles in an extraordinarily rhythmic way.

Paulus said it was possible that Masngudin's "miraculous
ability" could be recorded also in the Guinness Book of World
Records.

The museum, established on Jan. 27, 1990, had listed 308
records up to last month, including Masngudin's. (aan)
