Shark Disrupts Attempt At Underwater Juggling Record
Man Tries To Break His Own Record

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- A man's attempt at setting a new world record for juggling underwater was foiled by a shark.

Ashrita Furman was trying to break his own world record of 48 minutes and 36 seconds at an aquarium in Malaysia. But a pesky shark brought the attempt to a halt.

The shark, called "Guinness," was trying to reclaim his favorite resting spot in the aquarium.

After taking a break, Furman tried again, but he was forced to stop about 11 minutes short of the record due to exhaustion.

Furman said he cherished the experience, even though his old record remains in place.

He was wise not to argue the point with the shark. :p
