KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Scorpions will be the bedfellows of a 24-year-old Malaysian woman for more than a month, as she tries to set a new world record for living with the venomous animals.

Nur Malena Hassan moved into a glass box with 6,000 scorpions at a shopping mall in Kuantan, about 160 miles east of Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, Malaysia's New Sunday Times reported.

Nur Malena showed no sign of fear as she entered the box, the paper reported, and scorpions soon began crawling over her body as she was monitored by medical staff and officials from Guinness World Records.

The current record is held by Kanchana Ketkaew of neighboring Thailand, who was stung nine times while she lived in a glass room with more than 3,000 scorpions for 32 days in 2002, Guinness says in its book of records.

1. Now what happens if she freaks and breaks the glass?

I would guess that that could hurt the mall's traffic.

2. OMG... insanity... The best part of moving away from Texas...

was moving away from the scorpions. Almost everyone in my family has been stung by one at least once... and somehow they spared me, even though I woke up one morning when I was a child with one staring me in the eye from the vantage point of my chest. :scared:
