The Man Who Can Suck His Face In. - Neatorama

JustElite got more photos of this Chinese guy who can girn his face (vocab lesson of the day: "girn", look it up) into grotesque forms, just like Popeye! Link - Thanks JustElite!

I'm not sure, but I think the correct spelling is 'gurn' - at least in Ireland. You see it quite often with people missing teeth or their entire upper jaw as in the case of this man (I'm a dentist). It's pretty impressive. Some people with this condition can also stick their tongue up to the lower part of the eye! Freaky.

Both Free Dictionary and Merriam-Webster have it as "girn."

It's always been gurning here in Newcastle and it's quite popular.
