AN Indian man has broken the world record for typing with his nose.

Mohammed Khursheed Hussain, 23, managed to type 103 words in 47.44 seconds.

In order to set the record, he had to repeatedly type: "Guinness World Records has challenged me to type this sentence using my nose in the fastest time."

Mr Hussain prepared for his record bid by practising for six hours every day for three years.

The question is "Why?"
