TIL that british climber Alan Hinkes had to be air rescued from Nanga Parbat in 1997 when flour from a burnt chapati (a type of flatbread) got up his nose, making him sneeze so violently that he prolapsed a disc. He waited 10 days in agony before being rescued and is since known as the "chapati man"
