New entrants for odd museum

New entrants for odd museum

SEMARANG (JP): Hanging around parking lots has its own virtue.
Jauhari, 37, likes to memorize number plates, and his habit has
landed him in the Indonesian Museum of Records here -- he can
memorize sequences up to 49 digits long.

The museum, set up by self-proclaimed renown humorologist Jaya
Suprana, also has two other new entrants. One is a man who
munches on staples and bits of glass, and who claims he is not
under any supernatural power associated with similar skills found
elsewhere in Java. Ahmar Damamita Viria, 36, a resident of Depok,
south of Jakarta, said he trained himself to snack on the items.

The other entrant is Budi Ariawan of Semarang, who plays songs
just by making harmonious sounds with his hands. Budi, 28,
entertains audiences with children's tunes like Balonku (My
Balloon) and Bintang Kecil (Little Star). (har/anr)
